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)

Lk 17, 7-10

Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, ‘Come along now and sit

down to eat’? Won’t he rather say, ‘Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink’?  Will

he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, ‘We are unworthy

servants; we have only done our duty.’

Serve to  Jesus without self-pity

Let us pray for service that is full of love and self-sacrifice 

• I will sit down beside My Teacher to listen to His guidance. He wants to show me the qualities of Jesus’ true disciple. I will spend more time reflecting

on each piece of advice that He gives me.

• First of all He desires to be My God (7-10). However He wants this relationship to be based not on fear but on devoted submission. He wishes to reign

over my whole life – in my dreams, in my heart and in my freedom.

• Am I ready to surrender myself to Jesus out of love? Do I enjoy serving Jesus? Is there any fear in my relationship with Jesus? If so, then what is it

about? I will entrust this to Jesus. 

• Jesus expects that while serving Him I will not think about my weariness, lack of time or my own needs (8-9). Do I remember the situations in which I

have sacrificed myself for Jesus even to the point of denying my own needs? I will tell Him about them

• Jesus counts on my sacrifice even if it means the renunciation of my personal hunger and desires (9). Am I ready for such a sacrifice? What kind of renunciation

awakens the greatest resistance within me? I will give this resistance to Jesus.

• When serving Jesus I can not expect payment or even appreciation. Jesus wants to protect me from my slavery of needing reward. He Himself is my greatest

reward. Service that is full of freedom and love gives rise to  irreplaceable happiness.

• Jesus leaves me the words that I may repeat during my daily ministry: ”I am unworthy servant; I have only done my duty” (10).

In the school of Our Lady:

Mary never sought herself. Everything she did came from a quiet surrender: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be done to me according to your word.” She did not need recognition, words of praise, or the praise of men. Her joy was to serve – invisibly, simply, in the silence of Nazareth and under the cross. In her heart there was nothing of her own – everything belonged to Jesus.

Dear children, Through the great love of the Heavenly Father I am beside you as your mother and you are beside me as my children, as apostles of my love whom I ceaselessly gather around me.

My children, you are those who, along with prayer, need to completely surrender to my Son so that you may no longer live but my Son may live in you – so that all those who do not know my Son may see Him in you and come to desire to know Him.

Pray that in you they may see resolute humility and goodness, a readiness to serve others; that in you they may see that you live your vocation in the world with the heart, in communion with my Son; that in you they may see meekness, tenderness and love for my Son as well as for all brothers and sisters.

Apostles of my love, you must pray much and cleanse your hearts so that you may be the first to walk on the way of my Son, that you may be the just who are united with the justice of my Son.

My children, as apostles of my love, you must be united in the communion which emanates from my Son, so that my children who do not know my Son may recognize the communion of love and may come to desire to walk on the way of life, the way of unity with my Son.

Thank you.

Mary, help us to follow your path of service without the desire for recognition. Help us to do good in silence, looking to Jesus.

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 gloryof God in time and in eternity. Amen.
