magnificat

My child, I felt devoured with the desire...

to pour out the flames of love that consumed me, and to reveal my secret to Elisabeth, who also longed for the Messiah to come upon earth. A secret is a need of the heart which is revealed, irresistibly, to people who are capable of understanding each other.

Who can ever tell you how much good my visit brought to Elisabeth, to John, and to their house? Everyone was sanctified, filled with gladness, felt unusual joys, and comprehended things unheard-of.

John, in particular, received all the graces which were necessary for him, to prepare himself to be the Precursor of my Son.

-

Dearest child, the Divine Will does great and unheard-of things wherever It reigns. If I worked many prodigies, it was because It had Its royal place in me. 

If you let the Divine Will reign in your soul, you too will become the bearer of Jesus to the creatures – you too will feel the irresistible need to give Him to all!

The soul:

Holy Mama, how I thank you for your beautiful lessons! I feel that they have such power over me as to make me yearn continuously to live in the Divine Will. But to obtain this grace – come, descend into my soul together with Jesus. 

Renew in me the visit you made to St. Elisabeth and the prodigies you worked for her. Ah, yes, my Mama, bring me Jesus - sanctify me. With Jesus I will be able to do His Most Holy Will.

Little Sacrifice:

To honor me, you will recite the Magnificat three times... 

in thanksgiving for the visit I made to St. Elisabeth.

Ejaculatory Prayer:

Holy Mama, visit my soul, and prepare in it... 

a worthy dwelling for the Divine Will.
