October 9, 2025 Reflection – Put your life in God’s hands.
Therefore, dear children put your life in God’s hands. October 9, 2025 St. Denis and Companions Dear Family of Mary! Let’s remember Our Lady’s September 25, 2025 Message: “Dear Children! May this time for you be a time of prayer for peace. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesial Approval) In our Gospel for today, Luke 11:5-13, Jesus teaches us how to pray for what we need! We all have needs. But we probably don’t turn to God in our need right away. We are used to thinking that we somehow need to provide for ourselves. But Jesus wants us to turn to the Father immdiately, and ask Him for what we need. Why wait? Here is Luke 11:5 to 13: And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything’? I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs. And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” I believe that we do not go to our Father in Heaven often enough. It doesn’t even occur to us that we should turn to the Father and pray when we are in need. Maybe we should pray first to Him for a need, and then allow Him to show us how to receive it. Here is a message from Our Lady about turning to God in our need: January 25, 1988 “Dear children! Today again I am calling you to complete conversion, which is difficult for those who have not chosen God. God can give you everything that you seek from Him. But you seek God only when sicknesses, problems and difficulties come to you and you think that God is far from you and is not listening and does not hear your prayers. No, dear children, that is not the truth. When you are far from God, you cannot receive graces because you do not seek them with a firm faith. Day by day, I am praying for you, and I want to draw you ever more near to God, but I cannot if you don’t want it. Therefore, dear children put your life in God’s hands. I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We have to learn to put our lives in God’s hands!! How? By turning to Him for everything. By always turning to Him first, and then allowing Him to show us the way He wants to provide for us in our needs. The more we do this, the more we will realize that God is with us to love us! We are not orphans who have to fend for themselves. We have a Father who loves us. Jesus told us so!! As Our Lady said to us: Therefore, dear children put your life in God’s hands.
