November 29, 2019 Reflection – May Jesus be born in our hearts!

(c)Mary TV 2019 November 29, 2019 Dear Family of Mary! “Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for you. Without God you do not have peace. Therefore, little children, pray for peace in your hearts and families, so that Jesus can be born in you and give you His love and blessing. The world is at war because hearts are full of hatred and jealousy. In the eyes, little children, peacelessness is seen because you have not permitted Jesus to be born in your lives. Seek Him, pray, and He will give Himself to you in the Child who is joy and peace. I am with you and I pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (November 25, 2019) The more I read this message, the more I understand that Our Lady is trying to prepare us for Christmas. This message is an Advent message. “May this time be a time of prayer for you.” Advent is a time of prayer, very much like Lent. In Advent we try to pray more. So, Our Lady is talking about how to spend our Advent. More Prayer!! “Without God you do not have peace.” This simple statement has never been more evident. Without God, peace is impossible. And we see that peacelessness everywhere today. “Therefore, little children, pray for peace in your hearts and families, so that Jesus can be born in you and give you His love and blessing.” If we pray for peace during this Advent, Jesus will come to us and be born in our hearts. Isn’t that what we need the most? Our poor hearts are like the stable at Bethlehem, empty, dirty and forlorn. There is no light there. Our Lady tells us to yearn for Jesus, yearn for peace, and Jesus will be born in us. “The world is at war because hearts are full of hatred and jealousy.” When we are far from God, we are unprotected from our enemy. If Jesus is not born in our hearts, they are vacant and vulnerable. Satan can enter and create hatred and jealousy in our thoughts, feeling and actions. Satan can turn us inward, where we care only about ourselves, and the result is loneliness and anxiety, hatred and jealousy. “In the eyes, little children, peacelessness is seen because you have not permitted Jesus to be born in your lives.” Our Lady sees us, she looks in our eyes. She can see if we are at peace. She knows that Jesus is the only one who can save us. She wants Him to be born in us, just as He was born in the stable all those years ago. She wants us to welcome Him, let Him come into us, and save us. “Seek Him, pray, and He will give Himself to you in the Child who is joy and peace.” The answer for us is so simple. Seek Jesus, just ask Him to come, look for Him, and He will come on Christmas Day as He did all those years ago, and give Himself to us – in the Child!!! Baby Jesus will come to us, to save us. “I am with you and I pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady is with us to help us achieve this wonderful union with Baby Jesus. She wants us to receive the Child in our hearts on Christmas Day. We must pray for this to happen this Advent. This message should be our Daily Advent prayer!   In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan© Mary TV 2019
