Jesus explains the Our Father, Hail Mary
From out of the blue, I decided to give way to a quote of Our Lord Jesus by mystic Maria Valtorta- she whose written work Padre Pio had ordered a follower to read, she whose work the Blessed Mother in Medjugorje had certified as truthful.
This is because in one of her recent messages, the Blessed Mother said that time will come when the rosary (yes, that repetitive prayer that often makes us snooze off) will be a sole defense from the unfolding apocalypse (when other religious practices, including Holy Masses, are suppressed). What better way to inspire ourselves to pray the rosary from how Our Lord Jesus explained the Our Father and the Hail Mary to Valtorta?
Jesus did so in the following direct quotes (as translated from the original Italian).
"Maria— you who love the Divine Light more than yourself, and feel you are happy the more it penetrates into you— today I want you to know the supernatural meaning of a phrase that you say, but do not understand well.
"As the Pater [Our Father] should be said with supernatural reference— and foolish would he be who said it while applying to it only a human meaning and human request— so the Ave
Maria [Hail Mary] should be said, not with your mind fixed on the Earth and on your flesh— which is dust that will return to dust— but should be said with your spirit lifted toward Heaven, beyond life, beyond the
Earth. It is where Most Holy
Mary, My Mother and yours, lives in body and soul after having lived on Earth with
Her soul always soaring into Heaven.
"The Pater is the prayer to your Father. The Ave
[Hail Mary] is the prayer to your Mother.
Father "The is first praise part of of God. the Our The first part of the Hail Mary is praise to M ar y.
"The second part of the Our Father is a request— to the Father— for all your needs as sons of God, in your temporary stop on Earth, but destined for Heaven. The second part of the Hail Mary is a request— of your Mother— for your needs as mortals and as immortals in your spirit.
"Your Mother should be invoked like your Father. You should not think that She is without Mercy and Power and cannot help you in your battles, in your pains, and in your needs and temptations.
"One must know how to pray. And one must know how to pray in moments of peace, in order to invoke help in the hours of struggle.
"He is a fool who says: 'When the time comes I will do it.' Do you know if you will be able to do it then? If God will give you time to do it? Necessities, misfortunes, and even death, often come like a sudden lightning flash. Death is sometimes like a thunderbolt that strikes unexpectedly.
"The Mercy of God is infinite. But it is said in the words of the Law: "Do not tempt the Lord your God". And, truly, you do tempt Him when you lead a life completely [and only] human, without thinking of what awaits you in the Beyond, in which you will be judged for your actions.
"In the Hail Mary it is said:'Pray for us now and in the hour of death.' Here, Maria. Let us read together these words which many, too many, say with their mind lifted by only one degree from the mud of Earth. With their heart they worry about the unknown only at their last moment.— a moment which makes them fear because they are not sufficiently sons of God. If they were [truly sons of God, and perfectly so, death would cause no fear.
"Death is the last trial. And it merits all your attention, so that it becomes a 'death in the Lord'. For you, a death in the Lord merits every pardon, gives eternal life in the Lord, and with its power annuls the consequences of even a culpable existence. So you have done well up till now to invoke My Mother and yours for that hour, and in that hour [of your physical death]. But know how to pray better. Not just from fear of that hour, but for so many other hours in which true death looms over you.
"I have already explained to you many times, Maria, what that true death is. It is that of the spirit. And you all kill [your spirit] so often, if not always by your direct will, certainly through indifference toward that most select part of yourselves: the soul.
"In the Our Father I instructed you to say: 'Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the Evil [one]. In the Hail Mary I make you say: 'Pray for us now and in the hour of death.'
