CONSECRATION PREPARATION FOR THE TRIUMPHANT VICTORY OF THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

33 NOVENA, DAY 5 – The Garden of Holy Expectations

INTRODUCTION:

How often do we ask something of God without pausing to ask what He asks of us? As we continue this journey of consecration, the dawn of Mary's Triumph meets the soil of our soul — and there, expectations take root. Are we open, truly open, to hear what the Mother desires from us?

TODAY'S GRACE:

The grace to listen deeply and respond faithfully to the desires of the Immaculate Heart.

MESSAGE FROM MARY:

“Dear children, you are awakening to the dawn of My Triumph. I pray for your unity in the response to My call.

I give you the choice for peace in the world. Place into effect, dear ones, the requests of my Immaculate Heart. I am awaiting your response in the land of my greatest victory, Russia.

Spread your conversion throughout this place to answer the call of these children upon my heart. I entrust to you the conclusion of my message of the past, to give life and effect to my words.”

SPIRITUAL PREPARATION

GUIDANCE:

In preparing to make the consecration, the soul must first become entirely open and the fundamental desire of love for Our Lady must be present. This must be a pure desire, uncomplicated without any other motive except pure love for Her.

• Second, the soul must desire complete reconciliation with God. This grace is granted partly within the consecration itself because it is a grace of unity.

Without reconciliation, total unity cannot be formed as the fullness of the grace given is, in effect, blocked. Grace must be placed within the depths of the soul and it is only through reconciliation that the grace from God can be received perfectly. As intense as the grace is given, so must the reconciliation be.

• Third, the solitude of the soul must be found to nurture the state of love for Our Lady. Only in solitude may her love be manifested to the soul and the realization be given

• Fourth, an awareness of Our Lady’s expectations from the soul must be gained. It is very easy to find all our expectations of her, but we seldom allow the expectations from her to be known. We must have a clear understanding of what she expects of us. Without this knowledge, it is very difficult for the soul to fulfill the fruits of the consecration.

  
  

Let us pray for the understanding of the expectations of God, through Our Lady, to become manifested in our soul.

DIRECTION: 

In our desire for perfection, we should frequently seek the most exalted virtue; to love God more than all the saints, to suffer more than all the martyrs, to bear and to pardon all injuries, to embrace every sort of suffering for the sake of saving a single soul, and to perform acts of charity for the love of others first.

These holy aspirations and desires will create in our soul the flame of virtue, and the realm of purity and simplicity. These are the cornerstones of the consecration.

MEDITATION: 

O’Immaculate Heart of Mary, help me to advance in perfection through desiring virtue and purity. May I contemplate the goodness of God in my life, and open my heart to those less able to recognize His favours upon them.

Ask great pardon on my behalf for the fault of not loving and honouring your tender heart more fervently. Dear Mother, bind and unite me to your Son, so that I may become entirely His, as He desires me to be.

REFLECTION – THE BLESSED WORD

Mary’s voice in today’s message is full of hope, but also of holy urgency: “I give you the choice for peace.” In this sacred dialogue, She places the continuation of her heavenly work into our human hands. Not out of need — but out of divine invitation.

We are entrusted with the conclusion of her message, called to be not just recipients but co-workers in this plan of grace.

And just like in a garden, fruit doesn’t grow by wishes alone. It needs earth turned by effort, roots strengthened by reconciliation, and solitude — not as loneliness, but as a sacred space where Love plants and prunes.

To consecrate is not to escape, but to allow the fire of transformation to burn away distractions, and to step into a deeper “Yes” — one shaped not by what we expect from Our Lady, but what She expects from us.

REFLECT & PRAY

Today's Grace:

To enter the solitude where divine expectations can be revealed.

Reflection WORD:

“Without reconciliation, total unity cannot be formed… as the fullness of the grace given is, in effect, blocked.”

SCRIPTURE ANCHOR:

“Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.”

– 1 Samuel 3:10

Saint Quote:

Day 5 of the 33-Day Novena calls us to quiet the soul and listen not to our desires but to Mary’s. In silence and solitude, through reconciliation and love, we become fertile soil for the Triumph. We are entrusted with her message — and her mission.
