Do we ever feel battered too and fro by the mighty hurricane force winds and waves that are especially upon us in our times; which seek to distract, discourage, and draw us away from the deep peace, joy and love that we find in our Lord Jesus Christ?
Here lies the one true "silver bullet," the "secret" remedy to ALL of life's woes:
-Consecrating ones life to the Immaculate Heart of Mary and living in the "ark" of her Immaculate Heart, as, there is "enmity between the Woman and the serpent, his offspring and her's... [and] she will crush his head" (Gen 3:15).
-And, Living daily, moment-by-moment this 3rd degree of Consecration to Jesus through Mary; which is "to do all things with, in, through and for Mary, in order to do all things most fully in, with, through and for Jesus" (St.Louis de Montfort).
To live our consecration is RADICAL, because Mary is not just a statue or a distant Mother in Heaven, but she is alive and in our mist, as Jesus is, "and blessed are those who do not see but believe."
In the following reported words (to Fr. Stefano Gobbi, which have the imprimatur), Mary tells us how to live it . If we heed her words it is like RIDING THE WAVE OF GRACE RATHER THAN BEING TUMBLED UNDERNEATH IT!
TRUTH CARD
"Accustom yourself to a new way of thinking.
It is not your place to think of what is best for you.
Let it be I, Who build moment by moment your future.
Be ever in My heart and at each moment you will find peace.
Do not be worried about what you are to do. One who has Consecrated himself to Me, belongs totally to Me. He can not at any moment of the day decide freely what he is to do with himself.
If you remain with Me, I Myself will tell you at every moment what I would like for you to do, and then whatever you do will always be according to My will (the perfect will of God).
I Myself will take you by the hand, and together we shall do everything. With you, I am like a Mother who is teaching its child to take its first steps.
Live with perfect love and perfect abandonment the present, which I moment-by-moment arrange for you my little babe.
You are no longer alone, you always have with you the Mother who leads you by the hand, who clasps you to Her Immaculate Heart."
