Dear Family of Mary!
It seems that in these times we need Jesus to guide us more than ever. As tensions rise in the world, and people grow anxious, like sheep without a shepherd, we must bring them the incredible peace and security that Jesus gives us as our Good Shepherd. He alone knows the way to peace. He alone knows the way to the Father. Our Lady longs for us to follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd:
November 25, 2006 “Dear children! Also today I call you to pray, pray, pray. Little children, when you pray you are close to God and He gives you the desire for eternity. This is a time when you can speak more about God and do more for God. Therefore, little children, do not resist but permit Him to lead you, to change you and to enter into your life. Do not forget that you are travelers on the way toward eternity. Therefore, little children, permit God to lead you as a shepherd leads his flock. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Let’s permit Jesus to lead us, to change us and to enter into our lives! Let’s follow Him as sheep follow their shepherd. We will find peace!
Our Lady gave Jelena this wonderful prayer to Jesus, our Shepherd:
Consecration to the Heart of Jesus
(Given by Our Lady to Jelena Vasilj, 11/28/1983)
O Jesus, we know that You are sweet (Mt. 11:29).
That you have given Your heart for us.
It was crowned with thorns by our sins.
We know that today You still pray for us
so that we will not be lost.
Jesus, remember us if we fall into sin.
Through Your most Sacred Heart,
make us all love one another.
Cause hatred to disappear among men.
Show us Your love.
All of us love You.
And we desire that you protect us with Your
Heart of the Good Shepherd.
Enter into each heart, Jesus!
Knock on the door of our hearts.
Be patient and tenacious with us.
We are still locked up in ourselves, because we
have not understood Your will.
Knock continuously, Oh Jesus.
Make our hearts open up to you,
at least in reminding us of the passion
which you suffered for us. Amen
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
