“You are now having a time of quiet and I invite You to enter into the intimacy of my immaculate Heart to see what an abyss of love and of sorrow it contains.
My Heart is the heart of a Mother, a real living heart of a Mother who is real and living for all her children. All men redeemed by my Son are also my children: they are my children in the fullest sense of the word.Even those who are far away, even the sinners, even the atheists, even those who reject God, those who fight against Him and hate Him: they are all my children. And I am a Mother to them. For many of them I am the only Mother they have, the only person who is taking care of them, who truly loves them. And so my Heart is continually consumed with sorrow and with a greater love for these children of mine.
I want to help them, I want to save them because I am their Mother. Because of this I suffer for them, I suffer for their sins, I suffer because they are so far from God, I suffer because they do wrong, I suffer because of all the harm they are doing to themselves. But how to help them? How to save them? I have need of much prayer, I have need of much suffering. Only through the prayer and the suffering of others, of the good and the generous, will I be able to save these children of mine.
And so there is then the Movement of my Priests: it is desired by Me to make reparation for the immense harm caused in souls by atheism, to restore in so many desecrated hearts the image of God, the merciful countenance of my Son Jesus. My Priests are my restorers: they will restore in so many souls the face of God, and thus they will bring back many of my children from death to life. And in this way they will be the true consolers of my Sorrowful Heart.”
Some Thoughts:
Today we are celebrating the Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and it was under her patronage that I did my consecration this year…over and over and over since Lent. I apparently needed it. Then it clicked like never before. She IS my mother. My union with Jesus is more intense than ever before. 
It saddens me (as it does her) that many not only can’t see her appropriate role in Salvation but actually go about belittling those who do. It is a great sorrow indeed, but it doesn’t detract from the truth of who she is and what assignment God has given to her. That in the Incarnation exists a marriage between heaven and earth…the Divine and the “merely human”. That though Christ, humanity gets elevated and that Mary is the most perfect example of it and a glimpse of what is to come for the church.
As I approached the top of the hill, I saw that I was in paradise, where there was a great variety of exquisite rosas de Castilla, in brilliant dew, which I immediately cut. She had told me that I should bring them to you, and so I do it, so that you may see in them the sign which you asked of me and comply with her wish; also, to make clear the veracity of my word and my message. Behold. Receive them.”
He unfolded his white cloth, where he had the flowers; and when they scattered on the floor, all the different varieties of rosas de Castilla, suddenly there appeared the drawing of the precious Image of the ever-virgin Holy Mary, Mother of God, in the manner as she is today kept in the temple at Tepeyacac, which is named Guadalupe.
969 “This motherhood of Mary in the order of grace continues uninterruptedly from the consent which she loyally gave at the Annunciation and which she sustained without wavering beneath the cross, until the eternal fulfillment of all the elect. Taken up to heaven she did not lay aside this saving office but by her manifold intercession continues to bring us the gifts of eternal salvation . . . . Therefore the Blessed Virgin is invoked in the Church under the titles of Advocate, Helper, Benefactress, and Mediatrix.”512
970 “Mary’s function as mother of men in no way obscures or diminishes this unique mediation of Christ, but rather shows its power. But the Blessed Virgin’s salutary influence on men . . . flows forth from the superabundance of the merits of Christ, rests on his mediation, depends entirely on it, and draws all its power from it.”513 “No creature could ever be counted along with the Incarnate Word and Redeemer; but just as the priesthood of Christ is shared in various ways both by his ministers and the faithful, and as the one goodness of God is radiated in different ways among his creatures, so also the unique mediation of the Redeemer does not exclude but rather gives rise to a manifold cooperation which is but a sharing in this one source.”514
