August 13, 2024 Reflection – Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven

Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven

Dear Family of Mary!

Today is Day 7 of our little novena before the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary! And here is the message for today:

May 25, 2017

“Dear children!

The Most High has permitted me
to call you anew to conversion.

Little children,
open your hearts to the grace
to which you are all called.

Be witnesses of peace and love
in this peaceless world.

Your life here on earth is passing.

Pray that through prayer
you may yearn for Heaven
and the things of Heaven
and your hearts will see everything differently.

You are not alone;
I am with you
and intercede before my Son Jesus for you.

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Lady counsels us to “Pray that through prayer you may yearn for Heaven!” She knows that it is only when we pray that we will begin to have the desire for Heaven. We are like little blind puppies before we learn to pray. It is in prayer itself, that our eyes are opened to the things of God and we begin to yearn for God and Heaven. As Our Lady tells us, through prayer “your hearts will see everything differently”. She knows what she is talking about! We need the salve of prayer generously applied to our spiritual eyes, so that we will be healed of our blindness, begin to see our world in all its poverty, and yearn for Heaven in the far distance!

Dearest Mother Mary, we know that you were assumed into Heaven, body and soul, to be with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and all the Heavenly Host, for eternity. From Heaven, you come to us now, every day, in Medjugorje! You bring Heaven with you, and we all have felt it. We want to do everything we can to prepare for Heaven. We will listen to your words with our hearts, and respond as best we can. Thank you, dearest Mother, for being with us in Medjugorje! Amen, Alleluia!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
