Entrusted to Mary

I tell you, my friends, don't be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Aren't five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don't be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God; but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.

	Entrusted to Mary

By Agnes,
Love One Another 12/2009→ A testimony

Only by maturing patiently and uniting myself with the will of God shall I one day know a truly successful, lasting, and sincere marriage based on mutual trust, service, and self-giving.

Being a child of alcoholic parents, I have not had the best example of marriage. The prospect of intimacy and spending the rest of my life with a beloved spouse fills me with great fear and trepidation. I am writing this testimony not just for myself but for the benefit of all lonely people, who owing to various injuries and traumatic childhood experiences are unable to establish a family or, fearing to do so, are forced to wait for marriage, while working patiently on themselves. I wish to use this time of waiting in the most profitable way. That is why I have joined the Movement of Pure Hearts. The fact that I have not yet found a husband saddens me, and I often ask myself why I cannot experience the joy of family life and motherhood? But though I feel very lonely, I do not despair. I know it is only by maturing patiently and uniting myself with the will of God that I will one day know a truly successful, lasting, and sincere marriage based on mutual trust, service, and self-giving.

For me MPH is a marvelous community of souls to which Jesus Himself — the model of purity and goodness — has called me. I feel that He wants me to fulfill myself as a woman, a wife, and a mother. The blessings that flow from saving sex for marriage are obvious to me. It is not easy, but it is possible. In this Mary helps me a great deal. After the example of Servant of God John Paul II, I have entrusted to Our Blessed Mother my future life as a wife and mother. During this recent walking pilgrimage to Our Lady of Czestochowa, I offered up my prayers for the intention of finding a good husband.

I have no doubt that the happiest and most beautiful day of my life will eventually come: the day when I stand before Jesus to pledge my love and fidelity to my dearest husband.
