Dear Family of Mary!

 

"Dear children! I am coming among you because I desire to be your mother - your intercessor. I desire to be the bond between you and the Heavenly Father - your mediatrix. I desire to take you by the hand and to walk with you in the battle against the impure spirit. My children, consecrate yourselves to me completely. I will take your lives into my motherly hands and I will teach them peace and love, and then I will give them over to my Son. I am asking of you to pray and fast because only in this way will you know how to witness my Son in the right way through my motherly heart. Pray for your shepherds that, united in my Son, they can always joyfully proclaim the Word of God. Thank you." (March 18, 2012 Mirjana)

 

"My children, consecrate yourselves to me completely."

 

In order for Our Mother to be able to mother us, we need to accept her motherhood. We need to say "yes" to her presence in our lives and begin to follow her instructions. In order for Mother Mary to bond us to the Heavenly Father, we need to say "yes" to her motherly guidance, so that she can bring us close to Him and teach us how to trust Him and love Him enough for Him to embrace us in His love. In order for Our Lady to take us by the hand and walk with us into battle, we have to extend our hands to her, in trust and through prayer of the heart. She will grasp us tightly, but she needs our hands extended freely. In other words, we need to trust Mary, our Mother, and give over to her our entire lives. We need to consecrate ourselves to her completely.

 

Our Online Rosary group prays a consecration prayer to Our Lady every day. It was composed by Mother Immaculata, OCD, in 1956! It is a remarkable prayer. It really is a complete consecration to Mary. Maybe before March 26, the Feast of the Annunciation (transferred) we could all pray this prayer several times a day, in order to prepare our hearts for this most important feast! We need to respond to this message with all our hearts, for these are important days.

 

"My children, consecrate yourselves to me completely."

 

Totus Tuus

(Totally Yours)

Immaculate Conception,

Mary my Mother,

Live in me,

Act in me,

Speak in me and through me,

Think your thoughts in my mind,

Love through my heart,

Give me your dispositions and feelings,

Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus,

Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior,

Possess my soul,

Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself,

Incline me to constant adoration,

Pray in me and through me,

Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
