If you only knew, my son, what great glory and what comfort is given to me when I reign as sovereign in your heart! The hearts of all my priests must be the kingdom where I may reign. Thus, very soon, my motherly Heart will triumph in all my children!
Blue Book #56 d
Right on our own doorstep, and in our midst, stands Christ. If only we would listen, we could hear him! He says, “I do not even ask you to watch one hour with me in my agony; I simply ask vou to get out of bed when the alarm rings. I do not ask you to be smitten on your cheeks nor to be spat upon; I just ask you to take correction (which you deserve) humbly, for love of me, with an open heart and mind and a willingness to change. I do not ask you to be bound to a post and flagellated with leaden whips. I simply ask you to do every task that is given to you with total recollection and thoughtfulness.
Grace in Every Season (March 17)
Many may ponder what is the Triumph of the Immaculate Heart. I have a few humble thoughts about this, Mary’s Immaculate Heart was one totally dedicated to the Will of the Father. Born without original sin via her Immaculate Conception (if you’re not Catholic, this might not mean what you think it means), means that she had no natural inclination towards sin (a willful turning away from God) that we all do. So there were no selfish passions and desires in her, all those things that the rest of us need to crucify, she was naturally immune from. That left only total submission to the Divine Will.
So when will her Immaculate Heart Triumph? Only when we are able to do the same. It’ll happen in increments. First will be her children… all those that make up the Body of Christ, and see her not only as Mother of their Savior, but as their Mother in Christ too. Who willingly submit to her guidance through the Holy Spirit, will be able to abide in her Immaculate Heart … at first for short spurts, but with increasing length and intensity.
As more and more are gathered into her Immaculate Heart, a fire will spread across the entire world. I’ve heard it being called the ‘flame of love’. When the words from the Our Father will finally be fulfilled. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”.
It starts with our willingness to do the smallest things that we are called to with great love and dedication as if they were the greatest things.
