In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Your Beloved Spouse! (3x)

Luke 21:5-11

And while some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with noble stones and offerings, He said, “As for these things that you see, the days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down.” And they asked Him, “Teacher, when will these things be, and what will be the sign when these things are about to take place?” And He said, i“See that you are not led astray. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am he!’ and, ‘The time is at hand!’ Do not go after them. And when you hear of wars and tumults, do not be terrified, for these things must first take place, but the end will not be at once.” Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and pestilences. And there will be terrors and great signs from heaven’.

TO ENTRUST THE FUTURE TO JESUS

Let’s pray for a deep sense of safety and trust in Jesus

● I will imagine Jesus walking through the temples of the whole world. He also enters the temple of my family and says: “ The days will come when there will not be left here one stone upon another that will not be thrown down” (5-6). What feelings do Jesus’s words awaken in me?

● The inner beauty of the temple reminds me of the One Who alone is Holy and Eternal. The external will one day be destroyed. Only the everlasting Beauty Who is God Himself will remain.

● Do I long for God? Do I contemplate Him? Am I attracted to being with Him? I will pour out the true feelings of my heart before Him. What would I like to ask Him for ?

● Jesus warns me about the false prophets who will try to seduce me with beautiful words and promises (8). He clearly tells me not to follow them.

● Heeding the warning of Jesus I will ask myself: Whom do I listen to and seek advice from the most willingly in my life? Who do I trust the most? What words do I nourish myself with most often? What place do Jesus and His word have among these people and these words?

● Jesus wishes to give me an inner peace for me to discern the signs preceding His coming (9-11). He also teaches me patience and trust in the word He has given us. Only His word is true and eternal.

● I will fall before Jesus and entrust to Him all my future especially the difficult trials of which I am not aware today. I will also entrust to Him all the decisions of my life. I will repeat with love and faith: “I trust in You, Lord, and I shall not be put to shame forever”.

In the school of Our Lady

Mary is our example. She did not allow herself to be deceived by false prophets. She did not react in fear but in trust, she knew about the transience of the world and lived for eternity. She believed in the only truth, the Gospel – the word of her Son.

Dear children, I call you to accompany me in my mission of God with an open heart and complete trust. The way on which I lead you, through God, is difficult but persevering and in the end we will all rejoice through God. Therefore, my children, do not stop praying for the gift of faith. Only through faith will the Word of God be light in this darkness which desires to envelope us. Do not be afraid, I am with you. Thank you.

Mary, help us to live daily the words of Jesus, which are the only light and hope in the darkness of our times. Amen.

The prayer of consecration to Jesus through Mary

Holy Virgin Mary, today before You and in Your hands I renew and confirm the vows of Holy Baptism.

I renounce satan forever, his works; and I consecrate myself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. I want to carry my cross after Him all the days of my life according to the will of the Heavenly Father.

O Mary, in the presence of all the heavenly court and the whole Church I consecrate myself to Your Immaculate Heart. Be My Mother and Queen. In complete submission and love I give You and consecrate to You my body and soul, my goods, both interior and exterior, the value of all my good actions, past, present and future leaving to Thee the entire and full right of disposing of me, and all that belongs to me according to Thy good pleasure, for the greater glory of God in time and in eternity. Amen.
