Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary

Spiritual Exexrcises in the Form of a Cenacle with the Youth of the M.M.P. from Sardinia

Your Refuge


"Today you find yourself here, my little son, in a continuous cenacle of prayer and fraternity, with many young people of my Movement, to celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Heart of your heavenly Mother. See how I am loved by all these young people! Their love, their enthusiasm, their prayer, and their consecration to my Immaculate Heart close the deep wounds of my great sorrow.
I open the golden door of my motherly Heart in order to have enter there all my children, exposed to many dangers, stricken by many sorrows, wearied by many battles, wounded by many defeats. In these difficult and painful years, I open the refuge of my Immaculate Heart especially to my young folk. My Heart-of-a-Mother thus becomes for you your secure refuge.

--- It is your refuge, in which you take shelter from the grave and threatening dangers which surround you. The pagan society in which you live - a society which has denied its God, in order to build the idols of pleasure and money, of pride and egotism, of amusement and impurity - constitutes for you a grave danger of betraying your Baptism and of violating the obligations which you have assumed before God and the Church.
In my Immaculate Heart you will be formed to the perfect glory of the Lord, , through your promise of a life offered to Him, in the fulfillment of the divine will and in the observance of his law.

--- It is your refuge, in which you are defended against the wicked influence which this world - so materialistic and utterly bent on the mad search for pleasure - has over you.
In my Immaculate Heart, you will be trained in renunciation and mortification, in prayer and penance, in poverty and the perfection of love. In this way, you will experience the joy of walking along the road which Jesus has pointed out for you, in a spirit of freedom, and of correspondence with the great gift which He has given you.

--- It is your refuge, which protects you from being contaminated by sin and impurity. How impregnated with immorality and evil are the surroundings in which you live! Sin is committed and justified. Disobedience to the Laws of God is extolled and publicized. The diabolical power of Satan spreads more and more over individuals and countries. How are you to protect yourselves from this flood of misery, of corruption and of godlessness?

--- My Immaculate Heart is your refuge. It is given to you precisely for these times of yours. Enter in, my dearly beloved children, and thus you will journey along the road which brings you to the God of salvation and peace.

--- My Immaculate Heart is your refuge, in which I gather you together, as in a new spiritual Cenacle, to obtain for you the gift of the Holy Spirit, who would transform you into apostles of the second evangelization.
Be apostles of this, my Work, in all Sardinia. Go out from this cenacle and go everywhere in search of my children who have strayed along the roads of sin and evil, of unbelief and pleasure, of impurity and drugs. Bring them all into the same refuge which I have prepared for you.
I am with you and am lighting up for you the way along which you must go. Today I look upon you with motherly tenderness and, with all those who are dear to you, I bless you and encourage you to walk along the way of holiness and love, of purity and joy."
