Yesterday we celebrated the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and today we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

In a book I’m reading – God’s Final Effort, by John M. Haffert; he talks about the Consecration to the Two Hearts in chapter seven saying:

Not Equal, but One Flame of Love. St. John Eudes was… born in France in 1601, forty-six years before St. Margaret Mary Alacoque [Miraculous Medal]… [and] was perhaps the first to speak of the “Sacred Heart of Mary”.

He composed the Mass and office of the Immaculate Heart and the [same] for the Sacred Heart… he joined the two hearts [and]…spoke of them as one. [These] words might give us pause. But the reality…is transcendentally beautiful. It is the realization that the Hearts of Jesus and Mary are two flames which God has joined together into one great flame of love for Him and for men.  And we poor creatures, can plunge the little love we have into that great flame where it, too, become one with it.

…we, as humans, identifying ourselves with the human heart of Mary, enter into that Flame of Love to be truly one with the Heart of Our Savior. The words of Our Lord…seem to say,… “I have given you this admirable Heart of My dear Mother to be one with yours, so that you might have a heart worthy of Mine.” [Thus] this is not a matter of our choice, but of God’s choice.  This is not a matter of our planning…[intimacy] with our Father God, but His.

We deserve chastisement. God’s final effort to save us is through LOVE.

Wake up! The time has come, the time is NOW.

Change is happening rather quickly.  Agendas are being pushed through congress with very little concern about what the majority of people want.  Our Country is quickly becoming something between a dictatorship and communist regime.

Persecution is imminent especially with the Hate Crime Legislation placing restrictions on what pastors and priests can say from the pulpit – punishable by law.  Hey does that sound familiar… Many are caving in to the agenda today and playing God.

So where does that leave us on this wonderful day?  Wondering when and how soon, can we hold fast to the faith, how many will be lost?  I believe the answers to those questions might be: Soon, if you Keep your Eye’s on Jesus He will help us through, and there will be – as there has already been – those who will “go with the flow” and not pay attention to the “approaching rapids” and somehow close their eyes and take a deep breath with the thoughts “maybe I’ll wake up okay?”

Those who are already in The Bastion are prepared and we pray daily for the graces necessary to see the deception so blatant in this day.  But for those who are unawares, we pray especially for their salvation – for their eternal souls.

Happy Solemnity of the Immaculate Heart!  Her Immaculate Heart WILL triumph with her Eternal Son’s Sacred Heart right at her side.  BELIEVE. PRAY, Pray, pray!

“Dear children! The Most High is giving me the grace that I can still be with you and to lead you in prayer towards the way of peace. Your heart and soul thirst for peace and love, for God and His joy. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray and in prayer you will discover the wisdom of living. I bless you all and intercede for each of you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” ~Monthly Message, Our Lady of Medjugorje’s June 25, 2014.

The Christ Child lived in the womb of the virgin, Mary… Would you call Him a “fetus”???

An excerpt (emphasis added) from an e-mail from HLI (Human Life International), Dateline: Oct 8, 2012

To suffer with the other and for others; to suffer for the sake of truth and justice; to suffer out of love and in order to become a person who truly loves-these are fundamental elements of humanity, and to abandon them would destroy man himself.

Yet once again the question arises: are we capable of this? Is the other important enough to warrant my becoming, on his account, a person who suffers? Does truth matter to me enough to make suffering worthwhile? Is the promise of love so great that it justifies the gift of myself? The saints were able to make the great journey of human existence in the way that Christ had done before them, because they were brimming with great hope. (Pope Benedict XVI, Spe Salvi 39)

Seeing Dan unpack himself from the tiny VW Bug was a sight. He must be six foot five and is very broad shouldered. He must have played football. But on this cool and damp day outside the abortion mill in Wisconsin, it is Dan’s warm smile and gentleness that leave the strongest impression.

He was just one of the unsung 40 Days for Life prayer warriors outside a tragically busy abortion mill in a poor part of Milwaukee. Although we were able to meet for a short while after praying, I was unable to figure out what brings him so often to this dark place, and how he can do it with an obvious love and joy. That is, with so much hope.

A heart filled with love and hope can do amazing things... go HERE to read more!

There are over 247  cities around the WORLD who are participating in this MIRACULOUS event!  Please take a moment to visit their site, and if you are able, become INVOLVED – both in Prayer and Fasting –  and praying at location where children are losing their lives daily.  They NEED your prayers as well as their mothers – who are often forced and coerced into killing their children because they feel they have no choice… or even worse – they’re lied too and told, “it’s not a baby”.  Will you give them your prayers AND your support.  

Thanks for visiting!
