Press tightly against my Motherly Heart
November 13, 2020
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, Virgin
Dear Family of Mary!
This is Day 5 of our Nine Day Novena for the world and for our countries. We begin by reading St. Faustina’s Diary Entry 325:
On the day of the Assumption of the Mother of God, I did not assist at Holy Mass. The woman doctor did not allow me; but I prayed fervently in my cell. After a short time, I saw the Mother of God, unspeakably beautiful. She said to me, My daughter, what I demand from you is prayer, prayer, and once again prayer, for the world and especially for your country. For nine days receive Holy Communion in atonement and unite yourself closely to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. During these nine days you will stand before God as an offering; always and everywhere, at all times and places, day or night, whenever you wake up, pray in the spirit. In spirit, one can always remain in prayer. (Diary 325)
Here is a message that will help us to stand with Our Lady before the Father and intercede.
October 25, 1988 "Dear children! My invitation that you live the messages which I am giving you is a daily one, specially, little children, because I want to draw you closer to the Heart of Jesus. Therefore, little children, I am inviting you today to the prayer of consecration to Jesus, my dear Son, so that each of you may be His. And then I am inviting you to the consecration of my Immaculate Heart. I want you to consecrate yourselves as parents, as families and as parishioners so that all belong to God through my heart. Therefore, little children, pray that you comprehend the greatness of this message which I am giving you. I do not want anything for myself, rather all for the salvation of your soul. Satan is strong and therefore, you, little children, by constant prayer, press tightly against my motherly heart. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Our consecration to Our Lady is very important in these days. I just heard an exorcist say that the devil is trying to take over our countries but that we must consecrate ourselves and our countries to Our Lady. He was talking about how to pray so that Satan would lose authority over us and over those things that are ours by right. He said that Our Lady has been given power over the devil, and that if we surrender all we are and have to her, then the devil has no power over us. I was very moved by this.
We have consecrated ourselves and all we have and are to Our Lady. In the message above, she said: “I want you to consecrate yourselves as parents, as families and as parishioners so that all belong to God through my heart.” Maybe we haven’t realized how much this consecration can protect us from Satan. We are not our own, but we are Mary’s property now. We should be confident because we are pressed tightly against Our Lady’s Motherly Heart!!

Thank you for praying this novena! I feel that we are being led in the fight for the good. Our Lady is going to triumph!
