February 2, 2013 “Dear children, love is bringing me to you – the love which I desire to teach you also – real love; the love which my Son showed you when He died on the Cross out of love for you; the love which is always ready to forgive and to ask for forgiveness. How great is your love? My motherly heart is sorrowful as it searches for love in your hearts. You are not ready to submit your will to God’s will out of love. You cannot help me to have those who have not come to know God’s love to come to know it, because you do not have real love. Consecrate your hearts to me and I will lead you. I will teach you to forgive, to love your enemies and to live according to my Son. Do not be afraid for yourselves. In afflictions my Son does not forget those who love. I will be beside you. I will implore the Heavenly Father for the light of eternal truth and love to illuminate you. Pray for your shepherds so that through your fasting and prayer they can lead you in love. Thank you.”

Resolution:

Let us pray for the gift of God’s love for those we have hurt.

Prayer:
Mary, we thank you for your school of love. You teach us that true love is always ready to ask for forgiveness. Pour your humility into our hearts, that we may recognize those we have wounded through our lack of love. Help us to see them clearly, to seek their forgiveness sincerely.

We ask for the gift of God’s love for them—for forgiveness and healing in our relationships. Grant us the sensitivity to recognize those moments when our failure to love causes others to suffer.

Mary, in humility and love, teach us always to ask for forgiveness.

Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well-beloved spouse! (3x)

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
