MARY:
Oh, little Apostle, how Divine Love, in His splendid sovereignty, chose me, a soul, to be born as a lowly handmaid according to His holy will. Oh, how then my Jesus, in all His majesty, surrounded by His angels and the saints, approaches me with great expectancy.
He begins to rest His gaze so profoundly upon me, piercing my Heart like a fiery furnace of divine love. Through that loving gaze, He blesses me and invites me to gaze upon His own, opening before me, through His loving gaze, a window into the treasures of Heaven.
There, I experience anew the immeasurable love of the Most Holy Trinity, into which I am drawn by grace. There we both relive those precious moments of my early earthly existence together, as our Hearts have been united according to the Father's eternal plan.
Oh, how then my Jesus rejoices in beholding the Father's loving design fulfilled according to His Divine Will. He smiles upon me with the tenderness of a loving Son and the majesty of the Eternal King. He gently takes my hands into His own and draws me close to His Sacred Heart in a loving embrace. It is such a delightful and blissful way in which He brings about this sublime moment for me.
As His loving gaze penetrates my own, He gently brings me to the particular moment He desires to share with me—today, the day of my birth. He does this each time as a loving gift to my Heart for having accepted His holy will and for being the Mother of the Church.
I then begin to relive the first moments of my earthly life, and they are felt anew within my Heart, beginning with the first beating of my little heart within the womb of my mother.
Every little movement, every tender embrace of my mother, and every expression of her loving care I remember with great affection. Oh, how precious and dearly treasured was every moment of my life within her womb.
I relive, time and time again, her splendid smile, her joy at beholding her little child, and her expectant motherly affection throughout the years in which she lovingly nurtured me and taught me many beautiful things according to the Father's holy will.
I also remember the loving gaze of my father as he welcomed me into the world and the gentle care with which he watched over me. Both my parents received me with profound gratitude to God and surrounded me with such loving tenderness that my heart treasures those moments forever.
Many members of our family came to rejoice with my parents and to welcome my little life into their midst. Even the beauty of creation seemed to join in giving praise to the Creator. The birds of the air filled the day with their songs, and all around me creation reflected the goodness of God. My little heart delighted in the beauty that surrounded me, for all creation proclaims the glory of its Creator.
The loving remembrance of those early years continues to unfold before me by the loving will of my Son. No earthly book could contain all the little moments of my life, for they are countless.
Today I reveal to you only a small glimpse, dear child, so that my little ones on earth may rejoice in knowing they have a Mother who loves them so dearly, and a God—the Most Holy Trinity—whose love for them surpasses all understanding.
*Although today I bring this little remembrance of my Heart to a close, know, dear child, that these moments remain forever alive within my Heart. My Son reveals them to me, treasure after treasure, each one filling my whole being with heavenly delight.
At times, He also permits the angels and saints to contemplate these mysteries with me, so that together we may rejoice in the glorious plan that God the Almighty Father prepared from all eternity.
This is why you saw the angels singing and the saints rejoicing, for they shared in the jubilation of these heavenly mysteries. After receiving such a gift from my Son, my heart rests in perfect contentment within His immeasurable love
