 Greetings in Jesus and Mary....
Today is the Feast day of Mother Mariana de Jesus of Quito Ecuador who received the vision of Our Lady of Good Success. The Novena for Our Lady of Good Success starts soon and begins on January 24th. (I will post it below but again when it nears that date) I am posting an image of Our Lady of the Most Miraculous Medal here because of the topic of this article....I will post one of Our Lady of Good Success in a few days! Today was posted a talk by Fr. Ripperger on Youtube about the evil we face today but also the fact that because of this evil.....God is more generous in giving us the necessary graces to combat these seemingly overwhelming temptations IF WE ARE FAITHFUL! We must be faithful to Him in placing Him first in our daily lives with prayer, penance, self-sacrifice and of course frequenting the Sacraments for that sacramental grace which far exceeds actual graces. Receiving Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is the greatest means of grace we can receive. If we can not get to a daily Mass, we can make multiple Spiritual Communions throughout our day! Sr. Lucia, in one of her last interviews, stated the same thing ...... that since we are living in unprecedented times; Our Lady has given a greater efficacy to the Rosary than at any other time in history. Also, St. Catherine Laboure who received the messages of the Miraculous Medal was shown by the rays coming from the hands of Our Lady all the graces She will give to mankind. BUT it was also revealed that the rays are coming from behind her hands because this represents the graces that She has which mankind WILL NEVER SEE because they do not ask for them. We also know that the Sacred Heart of Jesus is burning with love for all of us! He died for all of us! He has all the graces we ALL NEED contained within His Most Sacred Heart and we know that there are enough riches contained within that Most Sacred Heart to make ALL OF US SAINTS! St. Francis de Sales stated that we are not saints because we do not want to be! WE NEED TO PRAY....SEEK......AND ASK! These are the conditions to unlock the love contained within the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! WE MUST PERSEVERE AND PRAY AND LIVE IN GREAT HOPE DURING THESE TRYING TIMES!!! WE MUST HAVE CONFIDENCE BECAUSE WE ALREADY KNOW THAT GOD WINS IN THE END! WE ARE ON THE WINNING SIDE! THERE IS NO ROOM FOR DESPAIR AND IT SADDENS THE BLESSED TRINITY TO SEE US IN A PITIFUL STATE WHEN WE HAVE THE RESOURCES OF GRACE TO BE TRUE SOLDIERS OF HIS LOVE FOR OURSELVES, OUR FAMILIES, AND THE WORLD! Spiritual Communion by St. Alphonsus Liguori: My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, pray for us to be saints! Holy Angels and Saints, pray for us on earth! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, show us Your Love and Please Be Merciful To Us!
