Come and Listen to Your Mother

Jesus:

My brother, you are beginning to understand what I did for My Mother and what you should do after My example. You have not yet learned all she did for Me and all she wants to do for you. She brought Me up just as every real mother rears her child, and she was associated with Me in My mission of redemption. She wishes to bring you up, in turn, and to associate you in her mission of Co-Redemptrix.

But she herself is going to explain her plans. Listen to her with docility and obey her with love, even as I was subject to her with an infinite love.

The Faithful Soul:
O Jesus, Son of God and Son of Mary, my Creator and my Brother, what return shall I make for all You have done for me? You know very well that I have nothing of my own but my weakness and my sins. With Your grace, however, I can give You what You expect from me; I want to be to Mary what You were; I want to allow You to continue loving her through me. And you, O Mary, Mother of God and my Mother! You have chosen me as your child of predilection. With your help I shall be another Jesus toward you. At present you want to instruct and direct me. Speak, Mother, your child is listening. Command me to do whatever you wish, and give me the grace to carry out your commands.
