Ave Maria Meditations
Remember, Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, what ineffable power thy Divine Son hath given thee over His Own adorable Heart. Full of trust in thy merits, we come before thee and beg thy protection.
O heavenly Treasurer of the Heart of Jesus, that Heart which is the inexhaustible source of all graces, which thou mayest open to us at thy good pleasure, in order that from it may flow forth upon mankind the riches of love and mercy, light and salvation, that are contained therein; grant unto us, we beseech thee, the favors which we seek.
We can never be refused by thee, and since thou art our Mother, O our Lady of the Sacred Heart, graciously hear our prayers and grant our request. Amen.
How long have you been ordained into the Third Order of the Franciscans of the Immaculate? What would be your advice for someone such as myself, with regards to the first steps in transitioning from laymen to brother of the Third Order? I like your greeting written above and it moved me to ask of you this helpful advice, finding you an unworthy lukewarm person met with an outpouring of grace from our Lady to grant you your hearts desires as such.
