Virgin Mary

When I became a Catholic, the year 2000, a whole new world of spirituality opened for me. The door opened and I walked through to learn, find hope n’ peace in mystical places like  Fatima, Lourdes, Guadalupe, and Medjugorje, where the Virgin Mary appears.

The Holy Mother is being given a period of time to try and birth the world into holiness. As Our Lady bore Jesus in Her womb those nine months in which the Savior came to term, the world is placed in Her hands for a term to ready it for the return of its Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lady preceded Her Son, and She is now preceding His return, preparing the world for the glorious moment. When will that be? We cannot know. Yet, it can be said Our Lady is preparing us to meet Jesus eye to eye.

Her messages at Medjugorje, come on the 25th of each month…

“Dear children! A new I call you to follow me with joy. I desire to lead all of you to my Son, your Savior. You are not aware that without Him you do not have joy and peace, nor a future or eternal life. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time of joyful prayer and surrender. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Prayers to a Saint…

Josemaría Escrivá, the founder of Opus Dei

Since I’ve become a Catholic (by choice)  I’ve become interested in asking Saints to pray for me. I found this prayer asking St Josemaría Escrivá for prayer for those needing work.

Prayer to St Josemaría Escrivá

“O God, through the mediation of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, you granted countless graces to your priest Saint Josemaría, choosing him as a most faithful instrument to found Opus Dei, a way to holiness through daily work and the ordinary duties of a Christian. Grant that I also may learn to turn all the circumstances and events of my life into opportunities to love you and serve the Church, the Pope and all souls, with joy and simplicity, lighting up the paths of the earth with faith and love. Through the intercession of Saint Josemaría, please grant me the favor I request… (here make your petition)…. Amen.”

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father…

I usually say a novena prayer for 9 days, but I would persevere and say this prayer until God answers.

May God bless the work of your hands,
Elizabeth
