4.    HOW TO ANSWER GOD’S CALL TO LOVE AND HOLINESS:

IMITATE MARY: THE LOVE OF JESUS IN ACTION

JESUS:  The Holy Spirit told you that Mary is the love of Jesus in action. Imitate her. Desire her qualities. Her virtues are most pleasing to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Beg for graces from Me through her so that you also may be clothed with the virtues of your Christ, your lover, Who anxiously and patiently awaits your fiat to My call (pp41-2HLAW).

JESUS: She is your perfect model.  She is able to be copied and I present her to you as your very own Mother and friend, the Queen of the universe and of peace who will take the time with great devotion and patience to help you become a lover of Mine; that is, one who loves Me with a love like hers, a love that becomes warm and vital with My own heavenly divine love. (pp608-9HLAW).

WHAT IS OUR VOCATION IN LIFE?

My mother and my brethren are they who hear the word of God, and do it (Lk8:21).

JESUS: You are free to choose My love or to reject My love, in whatever way you wish.  You can work half-heartedly for Me and still be My friend, or you can be daring in your pursuit of Me, of Me in your neighbour, in your friends, and in your enemies. Love them all with your Mother’s love, because this is your vocation in life: to be a mother to all mankind just as your Mother is.

To do this job well, you need to love with a mother’s loving heart. So take My Mother’s Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart, and ask her to dwell in your own poor heart forever. She’ll do this for you, because this is her role as Mother of all men, women and children. Use her. Borrow her Heart’s charms and love, and practise loving all in your care and all in your heart. Soon you’ll soar on eagle’s wings directly into My arms, where I’ll present you directly to our Father in our homeland. When you see the kind loving eyes of our Father, you’ll never again doubt the love of God. He is so majestic and yet, so gentle and humble (cf Matthew 11:27), (p332HLAW).
