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)

Mt 15, 29-37

After leaving that region, Jesus walked along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, and going up onto the mountain, he sat down. Large crowds flocked to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the deformed, the mute, and many others. They placed them at his feet, and he cured them. The crowds were amazed when they observed the mute speaking, the crippled made whole, the lame walking, and the blind with their sight restored, and they gave praise to the God of Israel. Jesus called his disciples to him and said, “I am moved with compassion for these people, because they have been with me now for three days and have nothing to eat. I do not want to send them away hungry, or they may collapse on the way.” The disciples said to him, “Where can we ever get enough bread in this deserted place to feed such a great crowd?” Jesus asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” “Seven,” they replied, “and a few small fish.” He ordered the crowd to sit down on the ground.  Then he took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks he broke them and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied. Afterward, they picked up seven baskets full of what remained.

To rEVEAL YOUR FRAGILITY TO JESUS

What do I ask for?

For the strength to entrust my fragility to Jesus.

• I approach Jesus, who is standing by the Sea of ​​Galilee. I ask him to let me go up the mountain with him (v. 29). I sit down next to him. I will remain with him in silence and I will lett him to nourish me by his presence. For Jesus, my presence is the most important thing.

• I notice the crowd of people coming from all directions (v. 30). They are longing to be healed. I approach. I enter the crowd to see the lame, the crippled, the blind up close… How do I feel among them in that crowd?

• What is my greatest wound? I stop at this question. What hurts me the most, what prevents me from living fully? Do I talk about it with Jesus? What would I like to ask him for today?

• I stay in the crowd. I will approach the blind, the mute, the lame. I will see how Jesus restores their sight, speech, and health. People tired of suffering, sad, are transformed into a crowd full of wonder, joy, and praise to God (v. 31).

• I will recall moments in my life when I clearly felt that Jesus was healing me. When was it? Under what circumstances? What did Jesus heal me from? What is prevailing in me today: joy, gratitude, sadness?

• I will catch Jesus’ gaze. I will notice love and pity in his eyes (v. 32). He looks at the hungry… and at me. Can I perceive the tenderness with which he looks at me? I will look at Jesus and ask him to penetrate me with his love.

• Jesus sees deeply into my every hunger. He longs to satisfy it (vv. 33-37). What is my greatest hunger? I will rest my head on his chest and repeat, “Only you can satisfy my hunger.”

In the school of Our Lady:

Mary teaches us – when we feed ourselves with Jesus, he will feed others through us.

Dear children! Also today, I call you to be love where there is hatred and food where there is hunger. Open your hearts, little children, and let your hands be extended and generous so that, through you, every creature may thank God the Creator. Pray, little children, and open your heart to God’s love, but you cannot if you do not pray. Therefore, pray, pray, pray. Thank you for having responded to my call.

Mary, you know Jesus’ gaze best. Ask for me the grace to see in his eyes the love and tenderness with which he looks at me, at my hunger and desire to be loved, to be healed. Teach me to rest on Jesus’ chest and whisper with you: “Only you, Jesus, can satisfy my hunger. Satisfy me, Jesus, so that through me you yourself may become food for others.
