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

DAY 7  – The Seed of Grace

INTRODUCTION:

Mary’s invitation today is clear and personal: “I promise you to never leave your side.” Her Saturday summons is a call to union—a YES rooted in trust and readiness. Today, we focus on preparation—cultivating our soul so that the seed of grace may take deep root and grow into virtue.

TODAY'S GRACE:

The grace to receive Heaven’s gifts with readiness, humility, and joyful expectation.

MESSAGE:

“My dear children, I come to call you forth in this mission for peace.

I promise you to never leave your side.

I shall return to you on this, my Saturday each month, to prepare and teach you of your part in this divine plan of grace.

My dear ones, I call you here to complete all that I have requested. Now is the culmination of My message of peace. Gather together faithfully for our consecration of YES to God the Father on my feast day in March.

In this consecration, I will be given the avenue to make your desires to help this mission possible. Come together under the guidance of My Heart and My chosen shepherds. I shall plant within you the seed of holiness from which shall grow grace and virtue.”

SPIRITUAL PREPARATION

GUIDANCE:

The central purpose of the consecration is to create a union. Our Lady will give special grace to instill this union. It is very necessary that we prepare our souls to receive this holy grace, otherwise, we are left with only a part of what she had intended to bestow.

This grace cannot be manifested in the perfection it was intended if the soul has not prepared the vessel to receive it in.

The soul will receive only the level of graces it is prepared to receive.

The soul must then acknowledge the purpose for which Our Lady brings this grace to us and the expectation of the fruits of this grace. We should remember that all graces are a pure gift and are given for the purpose of glorifying God. This is the end purpose of every gift from heaven.

DIRECTION:

Do not lose courage when you find that you have not yet arrived at the perfection to which you would wish.

To become discouraged by the imperfections which you desire to correct would be to give in to a great illusion of Satan.

The soul that always cherishes an ardent desire to advance in virtue, and strives continually to go forward, will, with divine assistance, obtain the perfection that can be attained in this life.

To become disheartened gives way to the loss of hope in the graces obtained through the pledge of your consecration. The promise of the consecration is the mark of the eternal bond of a pure FIAT.

MEDITATION: 

O’Immaculate Heart of Mary, through the interior lights infused upon my soul in its consecration through you, help me to receive and gain in grace.

May I seek continually the will of God just as you did, and execute it without reserve. I give of myself totally to be deprived of all earthly attachments, to suffer the cross which I embrace with passion, to stand at your side in battle array, and to defend the Triumph of your Immaculate Heart.

REFLECTION – THE BLESSED WORD

Mary does not come empty-handed. She comes with the fullness of grace and with the tenderness of a mother planting seeds.

Her promise is not passive—she invites us to participate in a divine exchange: our YES in consecration opens the way for her to act more fully in and through us.

But there’s a condition—preparation. A soul that is cluttered, distracted, or indifferent cannot absorb the full measure of grace intended for it. The purity of the vessel determines the depth of the gift.

God’s grace always flows freely, but how much we can receive depends on how open, clean, and willing we are to welcome it.

Let us not grow discouraged by our imperfections. God is not calling us to flawlessness, but to faithfulness. What matters is the soul that keeps striving, loving, hoping. Every "yes" spoken in weakness is still powerful in His eyes.

REFLECT & PRAY

Today’s Grace:

To prepare my soul as good soil for the seed of grace and never lose heart on the path to virtue.

Reflection WORD:

“To become disheartened gives way to the loss of hope in the graces obtained through the pledge of your consecration.”

SCRIPTURE ANCHOR:

“The seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it.”

– Matthew 13:23

Saint Quote:

Day 7 of the 33-Day Novena reminds us that grace is freely given but must be prepared for. Mary calls us to till the soil of our hearts so that the seed of virtue may take root and flourish. Never grow discouraged—your yes is fertile ground for divine transformation.

Mary plants the seed of grace in consecrated souls. Prepare your heart to receive Heaven’s gift. Faithfulness, not perfection, opens the way for virtue.
