The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear Family of Mary!
Today is the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! Today we celebrate 70 years since this Dogma was proclaimed! Now more than ever, we need Our Lady of the Assumption to be with us, showing us the truth of Eternal Life with God in Heaven. We need the truth about God’s love for us, and our need for God. May these words of consecration, spoken by Pope John Paul II in 1984, echo in our hearts today as a plea for the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Woman assumed into Heaven.
Excerpt from the Consecration of the World to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, prayed by St. John Paul II in 1984 on March 25:
We fly to your patronage, O Holy Mother of God.”
Despise not our petitions in our necessities.
Behold, as we stand before you, Mother of Christ, before your Immaculate Heart, we desire, together with the whole Church, to unite ourselves with the consecration which, for love of us, your Son made of himself to the Father: “For their sake”, he said, “I consecrate myself that they also may be consecrated in the truth.” (Jn 17:19)
We wish to unite ourselves with our Redeemer in this his consecration for the world and for the human race, which, in his divine Heart, has the power to obtain pardon and to secure reparation.
The power of this consecration lasts for all time and embraces all individuals, peoples and nations. It overcomes every evil that the spirit of darkness is able to awaken, and has in fact awakened in our times, in the heart of man and in his history.
How deeply we feel the need for the consecration of humanity and the world — our modern world — in union with Christ himself! For the redeeming work of Christ must be shared in by the world through the Church.
The present year of the Redemption shows this: the special Jubilee of the whole Church.
Above all creatures, may you be blessed, you, the Handmaid of the Lord, who in the fullest way obeyed the divine call!
Hail to you, who are wholly united to the redeeming consecration of your Son!
Mother of the Church!
Enlighten the People of God along the paths of faith, hope and love!
Enlighten especially the peoples whose consecration and entrustment by us you are awaiting.
Help us to live in the truth of the consecration of Christ for the entire human family of the modern world.
In entrusting to you, O Mother, the world, all individuals and peoples, we also entrust to you this very consecration of the world, placing it in your motherly Heart.
Immaculate Heart! Help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths towards the future!
From famine and war, deliver us.
From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us.
From sins against the life of man from its very beginning, deliver us.
From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us.
From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us.
From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us.
From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us.
From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us.
From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us, deliver us.
Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.
Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit to conquer all sin: individual sin and the “sin of the world”, in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed, once more, in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the Redemption, the power of merciful Love!
May it put a stop to evil!
May it transform consciences!
May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of Hope!
Amen, and amen!
And Our Lady says to us:
"Dear children! Also in this difficult time God's love sends me to you. My children, do not be afraid, I am with you. With complete trust give me your hearts, that I may help you to recognize the signs of the time in which you live. I will help you to come to know the love of my Son. I will triumph through you. Thank you." (June 2, 2007)
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
