Your Sufferings

Mary

Can a tired, weary world, beset with every evil, become once more vibrant and living, filled with every faith and abounding in hope? Can I not speak a word to the weary? Yes, that is what I will begin to do. I will point out the plan of heaven, the helps that the heavenly Father will provide and the steps that each and every person can take.

Turn your eyes away, for these moments, from all of the world events that you cannot control.

Look to the Woman, who would be your heavenly Mother. Realize that I have a plan for you, to save you and to bring you to a moment of great faith. Let us begin with all your sufferings.

Fill your mind with the memories of all that you have suffered. Are these memories not also in my heart? I remember every moment when you were disappointed, treated unjustly, and set aside.

I remember every moment when you failed in your endeavors and you painfully saw all your limitations. I saw the relationships that did not last and those who even today take advantage. All of these are collected in my heart. I see you as wounded, frail, hurt, set aside, misunderstood. I see the pain in your heart and the failure of your hopes. All of this calls forth my greatest tenderness. That is where we must begin on this Mother’s day.

Comment: Before beginning, Our Lady binds up our wounds.
