The Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

2022-09-28%20-%20BM%20IMG_4759%20copy.jpeg

 

Words of Jesus to Maria Valtorta:

"It is always Mary who gives you Jesus. 
She is the Bearer of the Eucharist.
She is the Living Pyx.
Who goes to Mary, finds Me.
Who asks Her for Me receives Me from Her.
When a creature says to Mary: 
'Give me Your Jesus that I may love Him,'
My Mother's smile causes Heavens colors to change into a more lively brightness because of its greater delight.


Say therefore to Her:
'Let me kiss Jesus' dress, let me kiss His wounds.'   
And dare even more: 
'Let me rest my head on Your Jesus' Heart, that I may delight in it.'
Come. And rest.
Like Jesus in His cradle, between Jesus and Mary."

(Poem of the Man-God  Vol. One pg. 154)

A NETWORK OF TRUST 

"This is what MDM is called to be: a growing communion of trust in His Mercy for our needy world." ~ Fr. John Mary

MDM started encouraging people to pray "Jesus, I trust in You"  ten times a day back in 2011. Recently we felt it was important to remind people to turn to Jesus with this simple, powerful prayer in a world that feels more and more out of control. We are suggesting 20 times, but some people find themselves repeating it hundreds of times. It reminds our troubled souls that GOD IS IN CONTROL. 

Many of you have put your name on our growing list and have also left a prayer intention or testimony:

God Bless! I just found this mission online!~Troy

Father God. Thank you for your most precious love. I believe that Jesus is the fulfillment of your every promise. Holy Spirit grant me grace to Surrender to Jesus and abandon myself to the Divine Assistance. Jesus I Trust in You. Bless and protect our little mission providing Sacred Space for our soul.~Jill

I am praying to find community to be a part of, myself. ~Anonymous

Jesus, I trust you with my health. I’m asking and believing in a miracle to heal completely from cancer. You are and always will be a miracle worker and healer. In Jesus Holy name I pray.~Angelica

So glad I found your mission. I woke up at 5 am and couldn’t sleep. Had been reading earlier about the Traditional Latin Mass. Apparently left browser open on The Reverent Catholic Mass website - opened map and there you were. I live in Buda, not too too far away. Will try to come out for Mass soon! I’m very drawn to converting to Catholicism and never been to Mass - raised Baptist (baptized). Have no idea why I’m “scared”, haha. I watch Mass on YouTube (Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA) so am very familiar with the Marians. I know God is reaching out to me! 😊❤️🙏. Thanks for all you do!~ Martha


Dear Jesus, I pray for your Bride, the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church. I pray for her special sons, the successors to Your first Apostles, that they may serve Her courageously as true Shepherds of the flock. ~ E.
