The Deep Wounds

"I am your Immaculate Mother. I am the consoler of the afflicted. How many sufferings you find, O son, along this route of yours. While you receive from all sides such a generous response to my call, on the part of my priests and above all on the part of so many of my faithful, you see everywhere the deep wounds and the great sufferings, which are the signs of the wicked times in which you are living.
They are suffering, those who reject God and are walking along the road of an empty and hopeless life.
They are suffering, the little ones who are opening up to life upon a world which has become an immense desert, for lack of love.
They are suffering, the youth to whom are proposed all the experiences of evil and who are being betrayed by such a vast diffusion of impurity and of drugs.
They are suffering, the adults, because of the division which has entered into families and because of the tremendous wound of divorce.
They are suffering, the old people who have been abandoned to themselves and who are looked upon as an insupportable burden.
Your days of chastisement through which you are living are marked by profound sufferings.
Do not be discouraged. Enter into the refuge of my Immaculate Heart. Allow yourselves to be led by my light, which will shine out more and more, because these are my times. I am the dew upon all of your wounds; I am the consolation for all your sufferings.
I am your tender Mother, who is at your side to conduct you to the Lord of salvation and of joy."--To The Priests-Our Lady's Beloved Sons, MMP (2009); Interior locutions to Fr. Stefano Gobbi, MMP [1973-97]. #353, pp. 512-13

Prayer:
Glorious Queen of the most Holy Rosary, refuge of the human race, we humbly
kneel before Your Heavenly Throne, fully confident that it is in Your power
to save us and all mankind in the present calamity.
Animate the faithful with a genuine love for their God and neighbor; stem the
overwhelming flood of modern paganism;
Fill all hearts with a dread of sin, the first and foremost cause of war.
Enkindle in them the real meaning of sacrifice, the practice of Christian life,
a deep love for prayer, and an apostolic zeal, that men everywhere my soon
return to their senses and to their God.
In accordance with Your ardent wish, we consecrate to Your Immaculate Heart
our entire selves, all that we have, all that we love, all that we are.
To You we give our bodies and our souls, our minds and our hearts;
To You we consecrate our families, our homes, our country, and the whole
human race.
May the golden chain of today's Rosary bind our hearts, those of our loved ones,
and all hearts the world over to Your Immaculate Heart,
where alone they can find the true blessings of peace...Amen
