August 13, 2021 Reflection – Novena for the Assumption
Have more trust in God… August 13, 2021 Sts. Pontian and Hippolytus Dear Family of Mary! May 25, 2018 “Dear children! In this peaceless time, I am calling you to have more trust in God who is your Father in Heaven and who has sent me to lead you to Him. You, open your hearts to the gifts which He desires to give you and, in the silence of your heart, Adore my Son Jesus who has given His life so that you may live in eternity – where He desires to lead you. May your hope be the joy of a meeting with the Most High in everyday life. Therefore, I am calling you: do not neglect prayer because prayer works miracles. Thank you for having responded to my call.” It can be easy to forget that it is God the Father who has sent Our Lady to us in Medjugorje. These apparitions are not just Our Lady’s idea!! She comes to us under the authority of the Father! She is really His representative to us. Through her Motherly Heart He is calling us to Himself. She comes to lead us to Our Father in Heaven. And she knows the way! Her Assumption proves it!! She knows what we need for this journey: open hearts that desire for the gifts which the Father wants to give us, silent hearts that can adore Her Son Jesus who died so that we might live in Heaven with Him, hopeful and joyful hearts that draw us into a daily meeting with the Most High, and prayerful hearts that work miracles, every day!! This amazing way of life will draw us into Heaven, where Our Lady waits for us!!! Let us pray: The Assumption Novena Mary, Queen Assumed into Heaven, I rejoice that after years of heroic martyrdom on earth, you have at last been taken to the throne prepared for you in heaven by the Holy Trinity. Lift my heart with you in the glory of your Assumption above the dreadful touch of sin and impurity. Teach me how small earth becomes when viewed from heaven. Make me realize that death is the triumphant gate through which I shall pass to your Son, and that someday my body shall rejoin my soul in the unending bliss of heaven. From this earth, over which I tread as a pilgrim, I look to you for help. I ask for this favor: (Mention your request). When my hour of death has come, lead me safely to the presence of Jesus to enjoy the vision of my God for all eternity together with you. Amen Pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary and be filled with joy! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c)Mary TV 2021
