November 9, 2021 Reflection – The Freedom of the Children of God!
“…He who prays, little children, feels the freedom of the children of God and in joy of heart serves for the good for his brother-man…” (10/25/21) November 9, 2021 Dear Family of Mary! “…He who prays, little children, feels the freedom of the children of God and in joy of heart serves for the good for his brother-man…” (10/25/21) Our Mother tells us that if we pray we will feel the freedom of the children of God! She longs for us to feel this freedom. She wants us to feel the joy of living in that freedom. It is a freedom that comes through the knowledge of the Truth. Only when we comprehend the truth about God, the truth about ourselves, and the truth about the world and the devil, will we finally be able to choose the Good! We will understand the spiritual terrain that we live in and know what is best to choose. We have always been able to choose, but we have not always known enough of the truth to choose the good. And so we end up all tied up in lies and bondage. It is the truth that can set us free. As Jesus said in John’s Gospel: Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8:31-32) This freedom to choose the good is really the joy of the children of God!! It is what makes the martyrs so filled with joy even on the way to their death. It is the joy that fills mothers and fathers when they serve their children 24 hours a day! It is the joy that empowers the priest to serve his parish non stop, with such dedication. In that freedom everything makes sense and there is great peace! Our Lady tells us it is through prayer that God can speak to us, and show us His great Truth. Prayer is the only way for each of us, individually to come to the truth. It is not just a matter of study. It is also a matter of the heart. And our hearts must know God in order to know the Truth. So we must pray. She said to us in 2016: January 25, 2016“Dear children! Also today I am calling all of you to prayer. You cannot live without prayer, because prayer is a chain which brings you closer to God. Therefore, little children, in humility of heart return to God and to His commandments so that with all of your heart you are able to say: as it is in Heaven so may it be on earth. You, little children, are free to in freedom decide for God or against Him. See where Satan wants to pull you into sin and slavery. Therefore, little children, return to my heart so that I can lead you to my Son Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We are the most blessed of children, because Our Mother is with us to lead us to Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life!! May we all respond to her call in these days, in which the Truth is all but forgotten by so many. We can be light bearers of the Truth, which is the Love of God! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
