  “Surrender your hearts to Jesus!” January 8, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “…That is why, my children, surrender your hearts to Jesus and permit Him to begin to rule your lives, because only in this way, will you accept the present and be able to face the world in which you live today. With Jesus, every fear, suffering, and pain disappear, because your heart accepts His will and everything that comes into your life. Jesus will give you the faith to accept everything and nothing will distance you from Him — because He firmly holds you by the hand and does not permit for you to distance and lose yourselves in difficult moments — because He has become the Lord of your life. (12/25/20 – Jakov) Our Lady knows the great power of Jesus’ love, the great peace of living with Jesus day in and day out, the great hope of placing our lives in Jesus’ hands! May we listen to her words, and surrender ourselves to Jesus: Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy Christ, have mercy Christ, have mercy Lord, have mercy Lord, have mercy Jesus, hear us Jesus, hear us Jesus, graciously hear us Jesus, graciously hear us God, the Father of Heaven, have mercy on us God, the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us God, the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us Jesus, Son of the living God, have mercy on us Jesus, Splendor of the Father, have mercy on us Jesus, Brightness of eternal Light, have mercy on us Jesus, King of Glory, have mercy on us Jesus, Sun of Justice, have mercy on us Jesus, Son of the Virgin Mary, have mercy on us Jesus, most amiable, have mercy on us Jesus, most admirable, have mercy on us Jesus, the mighty God, have mercy on us Jesus, Father of the world to come, have mercy on us Jesus, Angel of Great Council, have mercy on us Jesus, most powerful, have mercy on us Jesus, most patient, have mercy on us Jesus, most obedient, have mercy on us Jesus, meek and humble of heart, have mercy on us Jesus, Lover of Chastity, have mercy on us Jesus, our Lover, have mercy on us Jesus, God of Peace, have mercy on us Jesus, Author of Life, have mercy on us Jesus, Model of Virtue, have mercy on us Jesus, zealous for souls, have mercy on us Jesus, our God, have mercy on us Jesus, our Refuge, have mercy on us Jesus, Father of the Poor, have mercy on us Jesus, Treasure of the Faithful, have mercy on us Jesus, good Shepherd, have mercy on us Jesus, true Light, have mercy on us Jesus, eternal Wisdom, have mercy on us Jesus, infinite Goodness, have mercy on us Jesus, our Way, and our Life, have mercy on us Jesus, joy of the Angels, have mercy on us Jesus, King of the Patriarchs, have mercy on us Jesus, Master of the Apostles, have mercy on us Jesus, Teacher of the Evangelists, have mercy on us Jesus, Strength of Martyrs, have mercy on us Jesus, Light of Confessors, have mercy on us Jesus, Purity of Virgins, have mercy on us Jesus, Crown of all Saints, have mercy on us Be merciful, spare us O Jesus Be merciful, graciously hear us, O Jesus From all evil, deliver us, O Jesus From all sin, deliver us, O Jesus From Thy wrath, deliver us, O Jesus From the snares of the devil, deliver us, O Jesus From the spirit of fornication, deliver us, O Jesus From everlasting death, deliver us, O Jesus From the neglect of Thy inspirations, deliver us, O Jesus Through the mystery of Thy holy Incarnation, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Nativity, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Infancy, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy most divine Life, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Labors, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Agony and Passion, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Cross and Dereliction, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Sufferings, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Death and Burial, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Resurrection, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Ascension, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Institution of the Most Holy Eucharist, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Joys, deliver us, O Jesus Through Thy Glory, deliver us, O Jesus Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, spare us, O Jesus Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, graciously hear us, O Jesus Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, have mercy on us, O Jesus Jesus hear us Jesus, graciously hear us Let us pray: O Lord Jesus Christ, Thou hast said, “Ask and you shall receive; seek and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you”; mercifully attend to our supplications, and grant us the grace of Thy most divine love, that we may love Thee with all our hearts, and in all our words and actions, and never cease to praise Thee Make us, O Lord, to have a perpetual fear and love of Thy holy name, for Thou never frailest to govern those who Thou dost solidly establish in Thy love.

“Children, is your heart open towards Jesus?   January 7, 2021 St. Raymond of Penafort Dear Family of Mary! “…Children, is your heart open towards Jesus? Have you completely surrendered your life into His hands? Have you accepted Jesus as your father, to whom you can always turn and in Him find consolation and everything you need to live true faith?…” (12/25/20 Jakov) Our Lady asks us very good questions in her message through Jakov.  They are foundational questions.  She wants us to look at our relationship to Jesus and be honest with ourselves.  How open am I to Jesus?  Do I have secrets in my heart that I do not want to share with Him?  Am I afraid of Jesus?  Do I really believe He is my God?  Have I closed my heart to His presence in the Eucharist?  Have I completely surrendered my life to Jesus, given it into His hands?  Do I hold on to certain habits or desires that Jesus would like me to change?  Am I stubborn?  Am I lazy?  What keeps me from surrendering to Jesus? And do I believe that Jesus is my father, the one I can always count on to care about me and console me, and provide for me as His little one? Good questions. Fr. Slavko Barbaric understood that we have to answer these questions.  In his meditations for Adoration, at St. James, he prayed so sweetly and deeply for us before Jesus.  Here is one of his prayers during Adoration: “Be praised, my Lord, for eternity, because with Your Words You are calling me to Yourself.  You are my Lord and my master.  It is only You Who I want to serve and no-one else.  In this moment I place at Your feet all my worries and fears, my sadness, and my mistrust.  I entrust to You everything that is tormenting me.  Life is difficult when we are bound, held captive, and overwhelmed by our concerns.  But You, in your love, You offer us the freedom of birds and the beauty of lilies. Because of my worries and plans, I don not have the time for those close to me, not even for my friends.  And yet, You promised me that You would take care of me… “Oh my God, You want me to become like a child, so that from the early morning until late at night I live joyfully with total devotion to You, without wracking my brain as to how I should continue.  Naturally, I also wonder if it is possible to live in such a carefree manner.  Yes, it’s possible because You tell me that it is, Lord Jesus.  I will certainly understand it when I reach the point when You are everything to me and my highest good.  My Jesus, How could You not be praised, not be adored!  How could I not pray to You day and night!  Therefore, My Jesus, make me understand that You are the only love, the ultimate goal of my life!”  (“Medjugorje and Fr. Slavko Barbaric” p. 259) As we begin this new and very challenging year, may we draw ever closer to Jesus.  Mother Mary, pray for us!  Fr. Slavko, pray for us! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
