We praise you, Lord Jesus Christ!
St. Robert Bellarmine
Dear Family of Mary!
Our Lady said to us:
November 2, 2016 “Dear children, to come to you and to make myself known to you is a great joy for my motherly heart. It is a gift from my Son for you and for others who are coming. As a mother I am calling you: love my Son above everything.
In order to love Him with all your heart, you need to come to know Him. You will come to know Him through prayer. Pray with the heart and with your feelings. To pray means to think of His love and sacrifice. To pray means to love, to give, to suffer and to offer. I am calling you, my children, to be apostles of prayer and love.
My children, it is a time of vigilance. In this vigil I am calling you to prayer, love and trust. As my Son will be looking in your hearts, my motherly heart desires for Him to see unconditional trust and love in them. The united love of my apostles will live, will conquer and will expose evil.
My children, I was a chalice of the God-man; I was God’s instrument. That is why I am calling you, my apostles, to be a chalice of the true and pure love of my Son. I am calling you to be an instrument through which all those who have not come to know the love of God – who have never loved – may comprehend, accept and be saved. Thank you, my children.”
In these difficult days, it is very important to keep our hearts focused on Jesus. He is our hope and life, our future and our joy! Our Lady wants this for us, as she said in the message above. I found this beautiful litany of praise by William McDermott based on Scripture titles that honor and praise Jesus. This litany is one way to come to know Jesus, through prayer! Let the titles from Scripture in this litany fill your hearts with wonder and awe for our Risen Lord! It will help us to keep our gaze and heart upon the Lord!

Give praise with blasts upon the horn, praise Him with harp and lyre. Give praise with tambourines and dance, praise Him with strings and pipes. Give praise with crashing cymbals, praise Him with sounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath give praise to the LORD! Hallelujah!
