June 4, 2024 Reflection – Today I call you to give me your heart…
Today I call you to give me your heart! June 4, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady comes to us in Medjugorje with a beautiful plan. Her plan is to gather her children together in Medjugorje and to truly guide us into the life of her Son. She wants to raise up holy people, those who are able to give themselves to Jesus, through Our Lady’s heart. This is a special call! She has revealed this call little by little through her messages. Here is one such message, in which she asks us to give our hearts to her in a special way: May 15, 1986 “Dear children! Today I call you to give me your heart so I can change it to be like mine. You are wondering, dear children, why you cannot respond to that which I am seeking from you. You are not able to because you have not given me your heart so I can change it. You are talking but you are not doing. I call on you to do everything that I am telling you. That way I will be with you. Thank you for having responded to my call! Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady wants us to be hers! She is calling us to give ourselves over into her hands, as a child does to his mother. She needs to guide us in these days in a special way, so that we will be able to help her in the the battle for souls. She needs us to be holy, like she is holy. That is how we can help her. To be holy is a beautiful thing. It means that we have said yes to God with our whole heart, and we are ready to say that yes every day for the rest of our lives. Our Lady said that “yes” every day of her life! And she wants to guide us into that same life for God, that same “yes”! And so she asks us to give her our hearts. What does this mean? I think it means that we give her all our most intimate desires, feelings, memories, hopes, fears, everything that we carry within. We give that all to her, so she can heal us, bless us, inspire us to the good, become healthy and whole like she is. It means we become happy and deeply in love with God! Then we will be able to help Our Lady in her work of saving souls! We will be able to do everything she tells us to do!! Here is a prayer that Our Lady gave Jelena, to help her give herself to her! Maybe we could pray it today, and ask Mother Mary to begin her work in us! How to Give Oneself to Mary Mother of Goodness, of Love and of Mercy (Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 4/19/1984) Oh my Mother! Mother of goodness, love and mercy! I love you immensely, and I offer myself to you. Through your goodness, your love, And your mercy, save me! I wish to be yours. I love you immensely And I wish that you protect me. In my heart, oh mother of goodness, Give me your goodness, So that I go to Heaven. I ask you for your immense love That you may give me the grace That I will be able to love each one Just like you loved Jesus Christ. I ask you in grace That I be able to be merciful* to you. I offer myself completely to you And I wish that you will be with me at each step, Because you are full of grace. I wish never to forget your grace, And if I should lose it, I will ask, make me find it again. Amen. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
