June 18, 2021 Reflection – 40th Anniversary Novena, Day 4
Dear Family of Mary!
Day 4 of our Novena before the 40th Anniversary:
December 25, 2020 “Dear children! I am carrying to you little Jesus who brings you peace, Him who is the past, present and future of your existence. Little children, do not permit for your faith and hope in a better future to be extinguished, because you are chosen to be witnesses of hope in every situation. That is why I am here with Jesus that He may bless you with His peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Our Lady gave us her perspective in this message from last Christmas. She carried the Baby Jesus to us, just as she did on the very first day of her apparitions to the visionaries (June 24, 1981). Our Lady brought Jesus that first day as a sign of peace. She didn’t want the young people to be afraid of her then. And she doesn’t want us to be afraid of her now.
With Baby Jesus, Our Lady brings to us the perspective of Heaven. Jesus is the past, present and future of our existences. Jesus gives meaning to everything. He is Lord of everything. There is nothing in our present time that He cannot overcome. There is nothing in the future that is not in His hands. And there is nothing in our past that He cannot heal and forgive.
We should have great hope in every situation because of Jesus. In fact we are called to be hope for all those around us who do not know Jesus. This perspective will give us peace. We have nothing to fear, Jesus and Mary are with us in this time of trial.
Let us pray:
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.
[That I will accept your plan when it differs from mine.]
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!
