Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! With joy in the heart I love you all and call you to draw closer to my Immaculate Heart so I can draw you still closer to my Son Jesus, and that He can give you His peace and love, which are nourishment for each one of you. Open yourselves, little children, to prayer - open yourselves to my love. I am your mother and cannot leave you alone in wandering and sin. You are called, little children, to be my children, my beloved children, so I can present you all to my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call." (June 25, 2013)
On the 32nd
Anniversary of Our Lady's apparitions in Medjugorje, Our Lady presents
to us the entire plan of God set out for us in this heavenly visitation
of the Mother to her children. Simply put, this is the very same plan
that St. Louis de Montfort understood and prophesied in his book, "True
Devotion to Mary" written in the early 1700s.
Our Lady tells us that
she loves us all, with joy in her heart. Joy and love! Are these not
the hallmarks of Our Lady's presence in Medjugorje. Joy overtakes even
the hardest heart in Medjugorje. And love, well, love pervades the whole
landscape, a love that tells each soul that he or she is loved just the
way he or she is. It is a love that finds each of us, where ever we
have wandered, in whatever sin we are bound by, and brings us hope,
peace, and the awareness that we can find our way back to God. This is
the essence of Medjugorje.
But it is the call, the powerful call that Our Lady issues to us ("I love you all and call you to draw closer to my Immaculate Heart")
that St. Louis de Montfort foresaw. It is the call to draw close to the
Immaculate Heart, and thus discover and draw close to the Sacred Heart
of her Son. This process of movement to Our Lady's heart which draws us
to Our Lord's heart is the plan God has designed for these last days, so
that all men can be rescued from the reign of Satan.
As St. Louis wrote:
120. As all
perfection consists in our being conformed, united and consecrated to
Jesus it naturally follows that the most perfect of all devotions is
that which conforms, unites, and consecrates us most completely to
Jesus. Now of all God's creatures Mary is the most conformed to Jesus.
It therefore follows that, of all devotions, devotion to her makes for
the most effective consecration and conformity to him. The more one is
consecrated to Mary, the more one is consecrated to Jesus. That is why
perfect consecration to Jesus is but a perfect and complete consecration
of oneself to the Blessed Virgin, which is the devotion I teach; or in
other words, it is the perfect renewal of the vows and promises of holy
baptism.....125. (3) It follows that we consecrate ourselves at one and
the same time to Mary and to Jesus. We give ourselves to Mary because
Jesus chose her as the perfect means to unite himself to us and unite us
to him. We give ourselves to Jesus because he is our last end. Since he
is our Redeemer and our God we are indebted to him for all that we are.
(St. Louis de Montfort, "True Devotion to Mary" par. 120, 125.)
Jesus is our last end.
In these days this truth stands revealed in greater relief than ever.
Our world seems to be plummeting into hell at an alarming speed. All
common sense and wisdom has fled. Man does not know himself. And he is
rushing into chaos. But Our Lady has been sent to draw us into the
safety of her heart, where we will again encounter Jesus, our true end,
the living image of the Father in whom we are made. Her heart, like the
ark that Noah built, has been opened wide to draw us into her safety. No
flood of sin and chaos will be able to reach us there. Safely within
the Heart of Mary we will be united to Jesus, and find our true home in
God. This is the plan the Father ordained from of old, to save His
children.
Thanks be to God for
32 years of visitations, in which this Heart has also been revealed to
us individually as the Ark revealed in Revelations 11: 19 - 12: 1: "Then
God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen
within his temple, and there were flashes of lightening, loud noises,
peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail. And a great portent
appeared in the heaven, a woman clothes with the sun, with the moon
under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars..." Our Lady,
the woman clothed with the sun, is the Ark that contains the covenant,
Jesus. She is the carrier of God's plan for our salvation, Jesus! We are
being invited to draw close to that Ark, and to actually enter that Ark
of the Covenant! Not just to see it from afar, but to enter in. Like
the ark of Noah, we can enter this Ark of the Covenant, and sail safely
unto God.
So, Our Lady reveals
herself as the woman, the one who has been sent to unite us to Jesus, to
secure our salvation which is union with Jesus, through her Immaculate
Heart. All we need to do is enter in!! (Thank you Daniel Sipat)
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
