Pray with me for peace and freedom...
Anniversary Novena, Day 8
June 22, 2023
Dear Family of Mary!
Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2021:
June 25, 2021 "Dear children! My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call. Today I am calling all of you: pray with me for peace and freedom, because Satan is strong and by his deception, wants to lead away all the more hearts from my motherly heart. That is why decide for God so that it may be good for you on the earth which God gave you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
June 25, 2021 was the 40th Anniversary of Our Lady's presence with us in Medjugorje! It was a meaningful anniversary. Didn't Moses spend 40 days on Mount Sinai, receiving the commandments and being instructed in God's plan for the People of Israel? Didn't these same people spend 40 years in the desert, following the Lord and learning His ways before they could enter the Promised Land? Didn't Jesus fast and pray for 40 days and 40 nights in the desert before He began His public ministry? And didin't the resurrected Jesus spend 40 days and nights instructing the Apostles before He ascended to the Father? The number 40 is very important in God's plan.
It seems that Our Lady was not disappointed in the 40 years she had spent with us in Medjugorje. She said, "Dear children! My heart is joyful because through these years I see your love and openness to my call." She is happy with our response. But she goes on to encourage us to pray even more, because the spiritual battle we are in is increasing in intensity. She is remaining with us in this intense battle. We are blessed to be led by Our Lady, our Moses for these days. Let's say yes to her over and over again!
Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
(Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983)
O Immaculate Heart of Mary,
overflowing with goodness,
Show us your love for us.
May the flame of your heart, Oh Mary,
Descend upon all peoples.
We love you immensely.
Impress in our hearts a true love.
May our hearts yearn for you.
Oh Mary, sweet and humble of heart,
Remember us when we sin.
You know that all mankind are sinners.
Through your most sacred and maternal heart,
Cure us from every spiritual illness.
Make us capable of looking at the beauty of your maternal heart,
And that, thus, we may be converted
to the flame of your heart. Amen
Totus Tuus (Totally Yours)
by Mother Immaculata
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!
