I am calling you to pray with your whole heart...

Dear Family of Mary!
November 13, 1986
"Dear children!
Today again I am calling you
to pray with your whole heart
and day by day to change your life.
Especially, dear children,
I am calling that by your prayers and sacrifices
you begin to live in holiness,
because I desire that each one of you
who has been to this fountain of grace
will come to Paradise with the special gift
which you shall give me...
and that is holiness.
Therefore, dear children,
pray and daily change your life
in order to become fully holy.
I shall always be close to you.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
In this beautiful message, Our Lady calls us to "Pray with your whole heart..." Usually she simply says to pray with the heart! But in this message she doubled down! "Pray with your whole heart..." We
feel her intensity! She knows how much we need to change our lives, to
leave sin behind, and to move into the purity of God's love. She knows
how important it is to be whole-hearted. If we keep back a little bit
of our heart, we will be vulnerable. The enemy finds our weaknesses and
gains entrance into our hearts through them. We need to be
whole-hearted with God. All or nothing.
Lent is a time when we test ourselves through
prayer, fasting, and penance to see where our hearts are divided. Once
we discover those chinks in our armor, we can bring them to prayer, and
ask Jesus to deliver us and show us how to repent and change. This is
such a freeing fruit of Lent!!
Our Lady tells us:
Today again I am calling you
to pray with your whole heart
and day by day to change your life.
May it be so!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
