April 23, 2021 Reflection – “Thank you for having responded to my call”
Thank you for having responded to my call! April 23, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! For almost 40 years now, Our Lady has been giving us messages through her visionaries in Medjugorje. And one of her favorite ways to end her messages is this: Thank you for having responded to my call.” This wonderful Mother, who has spent these last 40 years attending to our needs and troubles, encouraging us, scolding us when needed, teaching us and inspiring us, always remembers to thank us for having responded to her call. I am sure she receives a broad range of responses from us. Acceptance, excitement, confusion, wonder, fear, hope, love… Our responses may be inadequate and small. But she is grateful for all of them, because she loves us and is trying to help us to change and grow and become holy and ready for eternal life. She will work with anything we give her. Any small gesture or prayer will give her room to come into our hearts and help us. What a Mother!!! On Sunday we hope to receive Our Mother’s message through Marija, who receives messages for the world on the 25th of each month. Our hearts have become accustomed to Our Mother’s love letters. But what if there was no message on Sunday? What would it feel like? It would be very hard for me, I am sure. With that in mind, let’s pray with hope and anticipation for the message to come to us! And let us review the message from March, searching our hearts to be sure we have responded in some concrete way to Our Lady’s words to us: “Dear children! Also, today I am with you to tell you: Little children, [he] who prays does not fear the future and does not lose hope. You are chosen to carry joy and peace, because you are mine. I have come here with the name ‘Queen of Peace’ because the devil wants peacelessness and war, he wants to fill your heart with fear of the future – but the future is God’s. That is why, be humble and pray, and surrender everything into the hands of the Most High Who created you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (March 25, 2021) In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
