Greetings in Jesus and Mary.... Here we are, almost half way through the month of August already. August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary whose feastday is August 22nd. We are in the novena for the Assumption of Our Lady which is just four days away! Time is flying by. I have spent time focusing on the global elites war against humanity for the last few posts and so it is time to go interior. May we offer ourselves in a pure way to Our Lady so that She may use us in order for Her Reign to come upon this earth and replace the coldness and hate with Her Flame of Love which is Jesus....This can only begin in our hearts and souls first. Our first step, of course, is to be obedient to Our Lady of Fatima which asked us to consecrate ourselves to Her Immaculate Heart. She had asked Sr. Lucia to spread this devotion while being kept here on earth longer than Jacinta and Francesco. Many have done this Consecration which can only be done by ..... wearing the Brown Scapular and praying Her Rosary as She had asked. So how do we intensify our commitment to Her each day? We enter each day with a renewed commitment to offer the Fatima prayers of Reparation taught at Fatima, to offer our Rosary and to always wear the Scapular, to make the Five First Saturdays (as well as the Nine First Fridays for more reparation to the Heart of Jesus). To live in the presence of God every minute of our lives.....in imitation of Our Mother! Many who have made this Consecration live not fully understanding or knowing that Our Lady takes possession of them. She influences them, dwells in them (if hopefully in the state of grace)....She takes root within the one consecrated to Her. We can ask our Guardian Angel to help us be more faithful to this knowledge and to our duty to Her Immaculate Heart. We must realize that we are participating in a work of love that will influence eternity. Know that we are few in number which means we need to be more diligent in this work of love. St. Teresa of Avila is noted as saying....."because He has so few friends....we need to be good ones!" Our Mother Mary is so willing to help Her own if only they would allow Her. She will lead us by the hand and show us the best way of praying and drawing closer to union with God. We must have the right intention and the right spirit. I am guilty of waking up to "getting my Office done, Morning Prayers" but all the while being distracted thinking of the tasks in my day and many times hasten into them not realizing that the greatest task of the day is giving the first fruits of my morning in meditation to God....He wants to hear...."I love You....I thank You....I need You!" with a heart full of Love! Being united to God in love while praying is living in imitation of Our Lady. She was in perpetual union with God....which we can strive to do if we only ask Our Lady to help us! She longs for this prayer. She wants this for us more than we do. May we ask Her to pray with the spirit of Her Heart....may all our prayers go to Her so that they will reach the throne of God by Her hands....all purified and filled with Her love. May we live and work in the presence of God by a constant offering of whatever we are doing. This is what our Mother wants. She will influence our lives and help us grow under Her care and help us to cease entirely living for ourselves.....but ONLY FOR GOD AND HIS GLORY AND FOR THE SALVATION OF SOULS! In conclusion.....Our Mother's Immaculate Heart ALWAYS beat in unison with the Heart of Her Son Jesus. The greatest moment for us, Her children, is to unite our hearts to Her Heart as we receive Him in Holy Communion. May Jesus find Her in our souls waiting for Him. He will surely come knowing that His Mother is there. Together, Jesus and Mary will transform us and unite us to their Hearts so that someday the world will find this same peace when God allows the Reign of Her Immaculate Heart to come here on earth in place of the coldness and hatred found now through the presence of the enemy. May we all surrender our will to God's and help Our Lady to be loved and known so that Jesus may reign as King in ALL HEARTS through Her intercession! Our Lady of Fatima, pray for us! Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary, show us the way to Your Son!
