 Day 7

Mary consoles us in suffering

 

"Come, Creator Spirit, visit us; come and enlighten the souls of your sons; fill our hearts with grace and light, you who create all things with love. Put your clarity in us, set us ablaze. In our hearts, spread the love of the Father. Come and strengthen our bodies in their weakness, and give us your eternal strength.” 

ALTERNATIVE:

Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest,

and make our hearts your place of rest;

come with your grace and heavenly aid,

and fill the hearts which you have made.

Your light to every thought impart,

and shed your love in every heart;

the weakness of our mortal state

with deathless might invigorate.

Bible verses:

Then Simeon blessed them and said to his mother Mary, “This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your own soul too.” (Lc 2, 34-35) 

"I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us." (Romains 8, 18)

 “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”  (Mt 11, 28-30) 

"I am now rejoicing in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am completing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church." (Col 1, 24)

Messages from Mary

“Dear children, Who could speak to you about the love and the pain of my Son better than I? I lived with Him; I suffered with Him. Living the earthly life I felt pain because I was a mother. My Son loved the thoughts and the works of the Heavenly Father, the true God. And, as He said to me, He came to redeem you. I hid my pain through love, but you, my children, you have numerous questions. You do not comprehend pain. You do not comprehend that through the love of God you need to accept pain and endure it. Every human being will experience it to a lesser or greater measure. But with peace in the soul and in a state of grace, hope exists; this is my Son, God, born of God. His words are the seed of eternal life. Sown in good souls it brings numerous fruits. My Son bore the pain because He took your sins upon Himself. Therefore, you, my children, apostles of my love, you who suffer, know that your pain will become light and glory. My children, while you are enduring pain, while you are suffering, Heaven enters in you and you give a piece of Heaven and much hope to all those around you.” (02.09.2017)

“Dear children, all the more the shadows of darkness and deception are being cast over you, and I am calling you to the light and truth—I am calling you to my Son. Only He can transform despair and suffering into peace and clarity; only He can give hope in the deepest pain. My Son is the life of the world. The more that you come to know Him—the more that you come close to Him—all the more you will love Him, because my Son is love. Love changes everything.” (02.09.2018)

“Dear children, do not have hearts that are hard, closed and filled with fear. Permit my motherly love to illuminate them and fill them with love and hope; so that, as a mother, I may soothe your pains because I know them, I experienced them. Pain elevates and is the greatest prayer. My Son, in a special way, loves those who suffer pains. He sent me to soothe them for you and bring hope. Trust in Him.” (02.04.2016)

“Dear children! Today I invite you to offer your crosses and suffering for my intentions. Little children, I am your mother and I wish to help you by seeking for you the grace from God. Little children, offer your sufferings as a gift to God so they become a most beautiful flower of joy. That is why, little children, pray that you may understand that suffering can become joy and the cross the way of joy.” (25.09.1996)

“Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way which my Son has chosen. Through each of your tribulations and sufferings God will find the way of joy for you. Therefore, little children, pray. We are close to you with our love.” (25.03.2006)

Prayer

O Mother, O well of compassion, what infinite tenderness you feel for your children who are suffering! As you stood at the foot of the cross of your Son Jesus, so you stand close to us who are so vulnerable! In your lifetime, you were spared no hardships! Who knows and shares our sorrows better than you? Help us understand the value of our suffering. You bore it in the painful hours when the Savior let you cooperate in His redemptive work. You offered up your suffering with the same infinite love of the Heart of Christ. Teach us your secret, dear Mother, how did you go through so much pain without complaining and without despair? Your secret is none other than love, because you are a mother. 

O Blessed Virgin Mary, how beautiful is your path of union with your divine Son! Following your example, we want to offer to Jesus all our sufferings so that He may unite them with His own, and so that they may bear abundant fruit of salvation for so many souls. Do not allow the Evil One to poison our suffering with his venom, which would make them unbearable. Soften our sorrows, we beg you! O Mother, come and bring us the consolation and strength of the Holy Spirit, so that we may know how to empathize with the sufferings of our brothers and bear witness to Divine Mercy.
