+ J.M.J. October 9, 2012 St. Denis and his companions, St. John Leonardi Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children: ... I need apostles with a pure heart. I am praying, and you should also pray, that the Holy Spirit may enable and lead you, that He may illuminate you and fill you with love and humility. Pray that He may fill you with grace and mercy. Only then will you understand me, my children..." (October 2, 2012) Our Lady needs pure-hearted apostles. She needs us to become those apostles. And so she instructs us to pray with her to the Holy Spirit for the gifts and graces we will need to become pure-hearted and ready for her service. She needs us for these days of her Triumph! We are the heel, the little ones she will raise up to defeat her enemy. St. Louis de Montfort saw this day so clearly! And he wrote about this infilling of the Holy Spirit that we need in order to be Our Lady's apostles. He discovered the method for receiving the Holy Spirit, and I think it is the method Our Lady has been teaching us in Medjugorje all these years: Communication of the Soul and Spirit of Mary 217. The soul of our Blessed Lady will communicate itself to you, to glorify the Lord. Her spirit will enter into the place of yours, to rejoice in God her salvation, provided only that you are faithful to the practices of this devotion. "Let the soul of Mary be in each of us to glorify the Lord: let the spirit of Mary be in each of us to rejoice in God." Ah! When will the happy time come when the divine Mary will be established Mistress and Queen of all hearts, in order that she may subject them fully to the empire of her great and holy Jesus? When will souls breathe Mary as the body breathes air? When that time comes, wonderful things will happen in those lowly places where the Holy Ghost, finding His dear spouse, as it were, reproduced, in souls, shall come in with abundance, and fill them to overflowing with his gifts, and particularly with the gift of wisdom, to work miracles of grace. My dear brother, when will that happy time, that age of Mary, come, when many souls, chosen and procured from the Most High by Mary, shall lose themselves in the abyss of her interior, shall become living copies of Mary, to love and glorify Jesus? That time will not come until men all know and practice this devotion which I am teaching. "That Thy reign may come, let the reign of Mary come." (St. Louis de Montfort. True Devotion to Mary. N. 217)
I think St. Louis de Montfort is jumping up and down in heaven with joy because the day he was so ardently desiring seems to be here, through Our Lady's presence in Medjugorje. She is forming her own apostles, by her own hand, in her own school in Medjugorje. She is forming living copies of herself, through her messages! And we who are inviting Mary into our hearts, and giving her rule over them, are receiving the Holy Spirit merely because Mary is present within our hearts. He (the Holy Spirit) rushes to be wherever His spouse dwells. Wonderful things are happening in our day in the lowly places of our hearts, because Mary is present there, and the Holy Spirit is doing miracles of love in each of us and in the lives of our loved ones! Listen again to St. Louis' words: When will souls breathe Mary as the body breathes air? When that time comes, wonderful things will happen in those lowly places where the Holy Ghost, finding His dear spouse, as it were, reproduced, in souls, shall come in with abundance, and fill them to overflowing with his gifts, and particularly with the gift of wisdom, to work miracles of grace. We are those lowly places where the Holy Ghost finds Mary. We who have been touched by her love through her presence in Medjugorje can now only survive by breathing in Mary in our souls. We can't live without her anymore. But that is good, because the more we give her room in our hearts and lives, the more the Holy Spirit will take over. Then we will be useful apostles of our Queen. We will be made purer and purer. My dear brother, when will that happy time, that age of Mary, come, when many souls, chosen and procured from the Most High by Mary, shall lose themselves in the abyss of her interior, shall become living copies of Mary, to love and glorify Jesus? I think that time is here, in and through Our Lady of Medjugorje! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2012 |
