Ten minutes with the Madonna

Dear Mother, Most Holy Mary, I am here at your feet. What to tell you! My life is not quite simple but I hope in you that you are a heavenly mother and often I look at you. I look for you in the affairs of the world and I do not always feel your presence, but not because of you, in reality I am too attached to what is happening and engaged in daily evils I cannot perceive your love.

Mamma Maria I have a strong desire for Heaven. I often turn to you to ask you for help for what happens to me but the reality I want Heaven. I am sure of the existence of eternal life and when I think of you, I think of Paradise. I only regret losing myself in the affairs of the world and not thinking about the true meaning of life that comes from you, from your son Jesus. Now that I read this passage, I imagine you beside me, that you embrace me, you whisper in my ears that you love me, that you encourage me in this life, as a good mother you comfort me and do everything for me. You can't imagine mother how I live in disappointment. By now I have realized that the world is all illusion, all garbage. You and Jesus are truth, you are eternal life. After a long life of chasing after goals, riches, goals, goals, I realized that the smoke of this world has clouded me, has excluded me from true values.

Mom but I'm here now, after so many struggles just to tell you that I love you. Yes, dear Mother Maria Santissima, I love you and for me you are the sun that illuminates my day, you are the moon that illuminates my nights, you are the bread that nourishes my body, you are the air that gives me life, you are the breath, every single breath I emit. Holy Mary bless my life! You who are a mother of mercy and forgiveness accept this little prayer of mine and do not remove your presence from my life. I have now decided to spend ten minutes with you to read this prayer in your presence, but what matters now, dear mother, who promises to put my life in the palm of your hand, to write my name in your heart, that you nourish my existence of the divine grace that comes from you. Madonna, my mother, lady and divine power of my life, now that I feel you beside me, hold me close to your chest. I feel naked in front of you. Only in front of you can I be sincere. In this world in order to live I have to wear the mask of the character I am speaking to, instead I am sincere near you, I am true. I place all my sins at your feet, I place all my prayers, my charities, all that I possess, my evil, my good at your feet. Dear mother, you have given me everything, you in this world have not made me suffer any evil, if those same evils caused by me. But I don't want the events of the world to drive us away, I don't want life to divide us. I now with tears in my eyes, I tell you "I love you, like a son loves a mother, like a man loves the only real thing he has". Yes! Mother! I only have you. Even if my life is surrounded by people, riches, materialism and consumerism, I can only see true love, which is you dear mother.

Now that my time with you is over, now I ask you "let's hug". Let me feel your warmth, the power of your divine grace. Give me a kiss Madonna Mother of Jesus. As at the foot of the Cross you implored help from the Father for your son Jesus so now ask the Father for mercy for me so that his forgiveness and love may descend on me.

Shake your hands on mine. Never leave me and on the last day of my life be you dear mother to pick me up together with your angels to take me to Heaven. Only knowing them that we will always be together will my heart rest in peace and I will be happy because by forgetting the world I will always stay with you and I will no longer need anything. You will be my everything. I love you Most Holy Mary.
