  (c) Anthony Zubac\Marytv 2018 August 27, 2018 St. Monica Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! This is a time of grace. Little children, pray more, speak less and permit God to lead you on the way of conversion. I am with you and love you with my motherly love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (August 25, 2018) Our Lady has often cautioned us to speak less and pray more. But in this moment, when our Church is in convulsions, we need to do as she says, because through our silence, we will grow in strength and courage, and our interior life will explode with inspiration and spiritual power. In our silence we will perceive the road God is leading us on. We will follow Him much more effectively. Pray more, speak less… St. Faustina spoke about interior silence in this way. She can help us respond to Our Lady’s message: Silence is a sword in the spiritual struggle. A talkative soul will never attain sanctity. The sword of silence will cut off everything that would like to cling to the soul. We are sensitive to words and quickly want to answer back, without taking any regard as to whether it is God’s will that we should speak. A silent soul is strong; no adversities will harm it if it perseveres in silence. The silent soul is capable of attaining the closest union with God. It lives almost always under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. God works in a silent soul without hindrance. (Diary, 477) In the sufferings of soul or body, I try to keep silence, for then my spirit gains the strength that flows from the Passion of Jesus. I have ever before my eyes His sorrowful Face, abused and disfigured, His divine Heart pierced by our sins and especially by the ingratitude of chosen souls. (Diary, 487) November 29, [1936]. The Mother of God has taught me how to prepare for the Feast of Christmas. I saw Her today, without the Infant Jesus. She said to me: My daughter, strive after silence and humility, so that Jesus, who dwells in your heart continuously, may be able to rest. Adore Him in your heart; do not go out from your inmost being. My daughter, I shall obtain for you the grace of an interior life which will be such that, without ever leaving that interior life, you will be able to carry out all your external duties with even greater care. Dwell with Him continuously in your own heart. He will be your strength. Communicate with creatures only in so far as is necessary and is required by your duties. You are a dwelling place pleasing to the living God, in you He dwells continuously with love and delight. And the living presence of God, which you experience in a more vivid and distinct way, will confirm you, my daughter, in the things I have told you. Try to act in this way until Christmas Day, and then He himself will make known to you in what way you will be communing and uniting yourself with Him. (Diary, 785) Silence is so powerful a language that it reaches the throne of the living God. Silence is His language, though secret, yet living and powerful. (888) Pray more and speak less! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2018 PS. Thanks again for choosing to support Mary TV!! Wow, it’s a miracle!!! Donate
