Mar. 25 - Total Consecration

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Each Morning before I post anything, I click on the Daily Mass Readings. Today's Reading from Hebrews and the Gospel from John are so perfectly suited to our day of total Consecration ( or re-consecration)! Listen to God's Word as Jesus who Consecrated Himself for us reveals how we are to live our consecration:

Hebrews 5: 7 – 9

In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,

John 12: 20 – 33

20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Beth-sa’ida in Galilee, and said to him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew went with Philip and they told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If any one serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there shall my servant be also; if any one serves me, the Father will honor him. 27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? `Father, save me from this hour’? No, for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd standing by heard it and said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast out; 32 and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.” 33 He said this to show by what death he was to die.

With humble and grateful hearts, we too are seeking to "see Jesus" with eyes of faith, and by our Mother's help, so let us pray our Act of Consecration, more fervently than we have ever prayed before today. Let us continue to be grateful to God, to our Mother Mary, and to one another, praying for one another and for all those in most need of His Mercy.
