June 17, 2023 Reflection – Anniversary Novena Day 3
I call you to persevere in prayer so that, with you, I can realize my plans. Anniversary Novena, Day 3 June 17, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has a plan. She has not come to Medjugorje randomly and without reason! The Father in Heaven has sent her for a reason. It can only be a plan that involves the salvation of as many people as possible!! But it is a plan that necessitates the cooperation of her children. We have been called to help her. And though we don’t see the entire plan, we do know that our holiness is needed, and our complete cooperation with her through the messages. One day at a time, we will help her to win this battle for souls. Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2016: “Dear children! Give thanks to God with me for the gift of my being with you. Pray, little children, and live God’s commandments that it may be good for you on earth. Today, on this day of grace, I desire to give you my motherly blessing of peace and of my love. I intercede for you with my Son and call you to persevere in prayer so that, with you, I can realize my plans. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Dearest Mother, we believe that you are interceding for us, and that you need us to do our part for your plans. Help us to remember our part of the plan, to live God’s commandments and to pray. We will try because we trust you so much! 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.
