What do the children think?

In some schools, we invited the children to write down what they felt in their hearts during their encounter with Mary. Here are some excerpts:

“I feel in my heart like a lit flame, a joy, that makes me remember the Madonna every moment”. (G.V.)

“I asked other girls to pray for all the children of the world so that they too may enter the inflamed and pure Heart of the Madonna. We are now under the gaze of the Madonna and must try every day to better understand the word ‘Consecration’”. (Rosaria D.S)

“Dear Madonna, on October 13 we all came to visit you… I felt you were smiling with joy… call me! And I will do what you want!” (Daniela L.)

“Madonna, I renew at this moment the offering made on October 13, offering all of myself, so that the world may convert and believe in You.”. (Francesco D.)

“Dear Mother of Heaven… when I came to Your altar, I understood the meaning and the reason for that visit”.(Roberta G)

“When we prayed ‘Madonna, I give You my heart and will for eternity’, I felt the Madonna in my heart”. (Antonietta P.)

“That consecration changed something in my heart”. (Dante S.)

“The carnation I offered You means that You must help me and save the world and humanity. I too will be good and help You”. (Maria Beatrice R.)

“While I loudly repeated the words: Mother, I give You my heart and will for eternity, save humanity, a deep joy descended in me”. (Enzo)

“I gave myself with all my heart to the Madonna and then I felt full of joy and lightness in my soul”.(Isa N.)

“We were also invited to give ourselves to the Madonna just as Giacinta, Lucia, and Francesco had done. Our ‘Yes’ had to be sincere, otherwise, as you said, it was better not to say it at all. When in church I said my ‘Yes’ very loudly, I was truly happy and understood that belonging to the Madonna was a very serious thing, and that it means helping Her save humanity. Thanks to you, I now know how to recite the Rosary. We often hear that many people steal, kill, make wars. We can save them by praying for them, with all our hearts. Greetings with affection.” (Pierluigi L.)

“I was very happy to say yes and to have opened my heart to the most beautiful of creatures. When the world lives in peace, I will be proud to remember that I participated in this with my prayer”. (Paola L.)

“The decision was important, requiring particular reflection. But later, when they asked us, I said ‘Yes’ with conviction and firmness, making a plan for how I should lead my life”. (Sabatino S.)

“‘Always smile’ is the word that stayed with me and that you said that day you were here with us… At that moment I saw the world not as a fire burning, with attacks, violence, but at that moment I saw the world as a fragrant flower; and a hope told me that perhaps, in a few years, peace will shine, but it will depend on us. Thank you for the beautiful things you told us last year.”. (Alessia C.)

“Since the day of my consecration, my soul has risen in glory, and that ceremony for me was the greatest mission entrusted to me. Now I love the Madonna more and in my heart there is so much love for everyone, believers and non-believers. Every day when I recite the Rosary, I try to invite a friend”. (Giovanni M.)

“My name is Carmela and I am eight years old. I am very happy to have given myself to the Madonna to help her save humanity. Now I pray much more, I have learned to pray better. Every day that passes I have more and more things to say, to tell the Madonna, because I feel her closer. With Her now I always confide. I have learned to recite the Rosary well. I want to commit myself a lot and try to save many bad people, who always make mistakes causing the Virgin to suffer. In my building, all the children know that I gave myself to the Madonna and in the afternoon, after doing all the homework, we gather at a friend’s house named Francesca to pray. Even my mom is happy and tells me that I have become even better”. (Carmela F.)

“When I said that ‘Yes’ I felt a great love in my heart”.(Pamela M.)

“This morning we said our ‘Yes’ to the Madonna. I felt almost important from that moment, because it was the most demanding ‘Yes’ of my life and I felt like a priest”.(Antonio D’O.)

“The most beautiful word we can say to God is YES”. (Cinthya)
