August 31, 2022 Reflection – God permits me to be with you…
God permits me to be with you… August 31, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! “…God permits me to be with you…” (August 25, 2022) At intervals throughout these 41 years, Our Lady has reminded us that God is permitting her to be with us! She is not a free agent! Mother Mary wants only the Father’s will to be done in her. But she does have a free will, none the less. And when she tells us that God permits her to be with us, I hear in those words her personal desire to be with us, which God honors with His permission! Our Lady loves us as her very own children. And mother’s like nothing more than to be with their children! It is a very strong feeling, which must be even stronger for someone as pure and holy as Mary. She longs for her children. And the Father, in His great mercy and love understands this and permits her to come to us in these difficult days. “…God permits me to be with you…” (August 25, 2022) This generous and moving permission should make us all feel so loved by God!! Our Mother is with us!! Our Lady has spoken several times about this permission that she has received. Each time is enlightening. Here is a message from 1988 in which she told us of the Father’s permission: March 25, 1988 “Dear children! Today also I am inviting you to a complete surrender to God. Dear children, you are not conscious of how God loves you with such a great love because He permits me to be with you so I can instruct you and help you to find the way of peace. This way, however, you cannot discover if you do not pray. Therefore, dear children, forsake everything and consecrate your time to God and God will bestow gifts upon you and bless you. Little children, don’t forget that your life is fleeting like a spring flower which today is wondrously beautiful but tomorrow has vanished. Therefore, pray in such a way that your prayer, your surrender to God, may become like a road sign. That way, your witness will not only have value for yourselves but for all eternity. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Our Lady loves us with a deep motherly love! God the Father loves us with an even deeper fatherly love, and therefore he is sending Our Mother to us in these very frightful and difficult days so that we can find the way to peace! Let us never lose sight of this incredible gift! Mary is with us to draw us into eternal life, where there is endless peace! And as we follow her, our lives will be like road signs for others, examples of how God’s love through Mary’s heart saves us! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV
