November 14, 2022 Reflection – Heaven and Eternity
Heaven and Eternity November 14, 2022 Dear Family of Mary! A couple of days ago, as I was praying after Communion, I had a brief but vivid image of Our Lady, standing beside me. She was tall and beautiful, and her robes were flowing around me. I was like a little child. I looked up at her, as if to ask her a question, and she looked down at me, placed her finger over her lips as if to say “Shhhhh”, and then pointed with that same finger upwards. It was as if she was telling me not to speak but to lift my gaze heavenward, because God was about to do something. That was what I saw, and it filled me with peace. I feel that there is so much we do not know, so much that is happening that is simply out of our ken! We can waste countless hours trying to figure out how to make the world a better place, or to stop evil. But there is only one thing necessary. To silence our hearts and look up…look towards Heaven and eternity, as Our Lady has said. Looking up is an act of hope, an act of faith, an act of trust in God. We can at least be those who believe, hope and trust in God. That counts for something! Our Lady told us: December 25, 2016 “Dear children! With great joy, today I am carrying my Son Jesus to you, for Him to give you His peace. Open your hearts, little children, and be joyful that you can receive it. Heaven is with you and is fighting for peace in your hearts, in the families and in the world; and you, little children, help with your prayers for it to be so. I bless you with my Son Jesus and call you not to lose hope; and for your gaze and heart to always be directed towards Heaven and eternity. In this way, you will be open to God and to His plans. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother, help us to keep our gaze and our heart always directed towards Heaven and eternity. We want to be open to God and to His plans! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2022
