Ecstasy
date May 15, 1919:
Marie-Julie:
“For a special intention.” (i.e. Marie-Julie is asking for a
special intention to be granted for someone who asked her to
intercede on their behalf.)
The
Blessed Virgin responds: - “My
little children, I love to exercise their patience to increase their
merits and give graces long after the prayer of petition. Persevere
and you will obtain.”
:::::::::::::::
NOTE:
This published text is short, but contains a consoling revelation.
The people who asked for Marie-Julie to intercede for them were not
getting their prayers answered right away because Our Lady says
waiting for an answer gives an occasion to practice the virtue of
patience, and thereby gain extra merits by patience and
perseverance in prayer.
So,
the same obviously goes for us too - a slow answer doesn't always
mean our prayers are not going to be answered, Heaven wishes us to gain
more than what we ask for. They more we pray and wait, we gain
strength in the virtues of patience and perseverance, and, also gain
extra merits by our prayers.
