June 18, 2023 Reflection – Anniversary Novena Day 4

Dear Family of Mary!

Our Lady has never stopped calling us to prayer. Prayer is for her the basis for our entire life with God. We must pray. We must grow in prayer. We much persevere in prayer! And so she has built a powerful prayer program in Medjugorje, through which we become accustomed to prayer. Holy Mass, the Rosary, Adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, personal prayer, family prayer, and climbing the mountains in prayer. Prayer is like the air you breathe in Medjugorje!

Our Lady said to us on June 25, 2017:

“Dear children! Today, I desire to thank you for your perseverance and call you to open yourselves to profound prayer. Prayer, little children, is the heart of faith and is hope in eternal life. Therefore, pray with the heart until your heart sings with thanksgiving to God the Creator who gave you life. I am with you, little children, and carry to you my motherly blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call…”

Dearest Mother, we understand your call to us to pray with perseverance. We choose to follow your plan for us to pray many hours a day! Please help us to continue on this road of prayer until we are in heaven with you forever.

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. Amen

Totus Tuus (Totally Yours)
by Mother Immaculata

Immaculate Conception,
Mary my Mother,
Live in me,
Act in me,
Speak in me and through me,

Think your thoughts in my mind,
Love through my heart,
Give me your dispositions and feelings,

Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus,
Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior,
Possess my soul,

Take over my entire personality and life,
replace it with Yourself,
Incline me to constant adoration,
Pray in me and through me,
Let me live in you
and keep me in this union always.

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
