Texts for Meditation


Jesus said to his disciples: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness,
but will have the light of life." (Jn 8,12)
 
"Dear Children! Today I am happy to see you in such great numbers, that you have responded and
have come to live my messages. I invite you, little children, to be my joyful carriers of peace in this
troubled world. Pray for peace so that as soon as possible a time of peace, which my heart waits
impatiently for, may reign. I am near to you, little children, and intercede for every one of you before
the Most High. I bless you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
(Message, June 25, 1995)
 
The heart is the dwelling-place where I am, where I live; according to the Semitic or Biblical
expression, the heart is the place "to which I withdraw." The heart is our hidden centre, beyond the
grasp of our reason and of others; only the Spirit of God can fathom the human heart and know it fully.
The heart is the place of decision, deeper than our psychic drives. It is the place of truth, where we
choose life or death. It is the place of encounter, because as image of God we live in relation: it is the
place of covenant. (CCC: 2563)
 

4. The Litany of the Blessed Virgin

 
Concluding prayer: Thank You, O Lord, for giving us the Church as Mother and Spouse, to lead us
in our earthly life on a path of light towards You.  Thank You, because in the Church we are all
brothers and sisters, and embers of one Mystical Body. Today we pray for those who lead the Church:
may they unceasingly renew within themselves their covenant with You, the One and Only True Head,
so as to become faithful and joyful carriers of peace and truth in this troubled world. Amen.
