June 19, 2021 Reflection – 40th Anniversary Novena, Day 5

40th Anniversary Novena, Day 5
Be strong in faith!
June 19, 2021Dear Family of Mary!

Day 5 of our Novena before the 40th Anniversary:

January 25, 2021 “Dear children! I am calling you at this time to prayer, fasting and renunciation, that you may be stronger in faith. This is a time of awakening and of giving birth. As nature, which gives itself, you also, little children, ponder how much you have received. Be joyful bearers of peace and love that it may be good for you on earth. Yearn for Heaven; and in Heaven there is no sorrow or hatred. That is why, little children, decide anew for conversion and let holiness begin to reign in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Lady started us off in 2021 with some strong directives:

A call to prayer, fasting and renunciation…

A call to be stronger in faith…

A call to awaken and give birth…

A call to ponder how much you have received…

A call to be joyful bearers of peace and love…

A call to yearn for Heaven…

A call to have no sorrow or hatred…

A call to decide anew for conversion…

A call to let holiness begin to reign in your life….

We see that Our Lady doesn’t coddle us! She has big plans for us that require holiness, strength and discipline. Mary has big plans for new awakenings and new births into holiness!!

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!

What happens to my petition?

The Information Center collects your petitions and makes sure they are given to either Vicka or Ivan to be presented to Our Lady during one of their daily apparitions.

Although hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of petitions are offered to Our Lady at one time, Our Lady knows the content of each petition. Our Lady tells us that she will pray with us and intercede for us before her Son Jesus for our intentions.

After every apparition, the petitions are burned.
