Prayer from the heart is heard

THIS month being traditionally the month of the Rosary, I think we would do well to pray the Rosary from the heart.

We should remember that when Our Blessed Mother told Jacinta and Francisco at Fatima that she would take them to Heaven soon, she said: “But Francisco must pray many Rosaries first.” He was only 10-years-old.

I wonder sometimes when the Book of Life is open to us, will we see ourselves more guilty in our omissions than in our wrongful deeds? Sr Lucy of Fatima tells us that Medjugorge is a continuation of Fatima. At Medjugorge, our Blessed Mother tells us that the world stands on the brink of its own destruction, and that it can only be saved by prayer, fasting and reconciliation. She tells us that it is prayer said with love from the heart that is heard and answered.
