April 30, 2021 Reflection – I am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart!

I am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart April 30, 2021 St. Pius V Dear Family of Mary! Again, the April 25, 2021 message: “Dear children! Today I am calling you to witness your faith in the colors of spring. May this be a faith of hope and courage. May your faith, little children, not waver in any situation, not even in this time of trial. Go courageously with the risen Christ towards Heaven, which is your goal. I am accompanying you on this way of holiness and am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (April 25, 2021) I am accompanying you on this way of holiness and am placing all of you in my Immaculate Heart. Our Mother is extremely good at accompanying. She accompanied Jesus throughout His infancy and childhood. Her prayerful and loving attention to Jesus’ every need must have been such a comfort and security to Jesus as He grew up. She accompanied Jesus during His entire public ministry, quietly attending to His needs and the needs of His followers. She was so in tune with the Father’s will, that she could anticipate Jesus’ needs and always be a help to Him as the way became more and more contentious. But it was at the Passion of Our Lord that Mary’s accompaniment was most perfect, most powerful and most needed. For only she understood what was really happening during those terrible hours of suffering. Only she could help Jesus with her prayers of assent to the the Father’s will. Only she could deny her own desires and choose what God desired at that moment, the complete offering of Jesus’ life for the sake of the world. And now she is accompanying us in our lives, with that same perfection of love. She is praying for us that we will accept and live the Father’s will for our lives. She is uniting her prayers to ours, so that we can choose and travel the road to Holiness. And most importantly, she is placing each one of us in her Immaculate Heart!! It is in that Motherly Heart that we will be healed of all our wounds and scars from life, and made able to do God’s will. Thanks be to God, we have such a Mother!!
