Our Lady of La Salette Novena - Day 6

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. O Virgin, in whom God did such great things because of Your abasements, obtain for me the grace to become little in my eyes, so that I may participate in Your ineffable secrets. I want to establish my soul in peace and in a detachment that will allow You to always manifest to me the will of God over me. Make my heart, dried up until now by the fire of passions, quench its thirst only at the pure sources of virtue and the sacraments. (mention request here…) Do you pray well, my child? You should pray morning and evening. You know what my Son says about prayer in His Gospel: We ought always to pray, and not to faint, that is, not to be faint-hearted in prayer. For without me, that is, without my grace, you can do nothing meritorious for heaven. Remember that grace is granted only through prayer. But, says my Son, if you ask the Father anything in My name, He will give it to you. Ask, therefore, with a pure and righteous heart, confidently, submissively, perseveringly, and you shall receive. Prayer is the key of the heavenly treasures. The cry of your misery goest up to God, and mercy descends forthwith. If, then, you wish to be a saint, be a lover of prayer. I myself pray incessantly for you in heaven. –O sweet Mother, help me to understand the deep meaning of these few words! I will never forget that prayer is a necessity for the human heart, and the happiness of life. Lord Jesus Christ, who, in Thy infinite mercy, didst send to us on the mountain of La Salette Thy ever glorious Mother in order to remind us of our Christian duties, grant that, moved by her tears and docile to her warnings, we may appease in this life Thy just anger by a sincere repentance, and that we may merit by our good works the grace to enjoy Thee eternally in heaven. Thou who livest and reignest world without end. Amen. Our Lady of La Salette, pray for us! In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
