“Oh, how precious are our souls to Jesus and Mary, our blood Brother and our mother. The best expression of our gratitude for such love is the irrevocable consecration of ourselves to them – in the gloom of uncertainty, in the anguish of doubt, in the heart-riving loneliness of interior desolation, when God seems to desert us, by complete abandonment to the divine will.”

For Reflection:             

Do I have difficulty seeing myself as “precious?” Ask the Holy Spirit to heal the area of your heart where this wound is lodged. Turn your eyes to the hearts of Jesus and Mary and picture them brimming with love for you. Return to this image every time the evil one seeks to sow uncertainty, anguish, doubt, and desolation into your soul. Journal your insights and reflections.
