You are the crown of love woven by me to place, as a source of comfort, about the Heart of my Son Jesus and of his Vicar on earth.
Blue Book #95 k-n
Therefore I ask you again for prayer, suffering and silence,
But your light must shine ever more and more brightly as the darkness envelops everything.
And yours will be the light of my presence in this most severe trial. And my motherly and merciful intervention will then become manifest to all.”
“And whatever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.” COLOSSIANS 3:23
Sometimes it seems so difficult to get any work done… our bodies, minds and even spirit, may fail us from time to time. It’s easy to fall into despair and consider ourselves as useless. However that’s not how God sees us.
Our most important work may not be what we think at all. Sometimes He allows blocks to be put in our way, so that we may finally see it. But even then it can take a while for some of us.
In the above Blue Book passage, Our Blessed Mother is asking once again for our prayer, suffering and silence. She says that we are being called to ‘be a light as the darkness envelopes everything’. EVERYTHING! Can you not feel it? I can. It’s threatening to engulf me at the moment.
So, what to do? How are we (how am I) to be light when all I can feel is darkness? Our Blessed Mother then says that the light that we are to shine is her presence. We aren’t just called to become another Christ (with her help), we are being called to be another replica of her, another ‘Mary’. To be Mother and comforter to a broken and hurting church. Yes, even when we are in dire need of it ourselves. Good mother that she is, she then comes and sends out her other children to help strengthen us.
