January 20, 2023 Reflection – Righteousness will go before Him!
Righteousness will go before Him! January 20, 2023 Sts. Sebastian and Fabian Dear Family of Mary! This section of Psalm 85 is one of the most beautiful pronouncements of faith in the Scriptures: Psalm 85: 7-13 Show us Thy steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us Thy salvation. Let me hear what God the Lord will speak, for He will speak peace to His people, to His saints, to those who turn to Him in their hearts. Surely His salvation is at hand for those who fear Him, that glory may dwell in our land. Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other. Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky. Yea, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before Him, and make His footsteps a way. Isn’t this Psalm beautiful!! “Let me hear what God the Lord will speak!” Yes, please! May we hear what the Lord will say!! He will say, “Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet!” He will tell us that “Faithfulness will spring up from the ground!” He will show us that “Righteousness will go before Him.” Lord, I love it when you speak to me like this!!! Sometimes Our Lady’s messages sound a bit like Psalm 85. She can say things in such a way that we feel lifted up to the Lord in prayer! I think this message is like that. Let’s pray it together: January 2, 2020 “Dear children, I know that I am present in your lives and in your hearts. I feel your love, I hear your prayers and direct them to my Son. But, my children, according to motherly love, I desire to be in the lives of all of my children. I desire to gather all of my children around me, beneath my motherly mantle. This is why I am inviting you and calling you, apostles of my love, to help me. My children, my Son pronounced the words of the ‘Our Father’- Our Father, [you] who are everywhere and in our hearts – because He desires to teach you to pray with words and feelings. He desires for you to always be better, to live merciful love which is prayer and limitless sacrifice for others. My children, give to my Son love for your neighbors, give words of consolation, compassion and acts of justice to your neighbors. Everything that you give to others, apostles of my love, my Son accepts as a gift. I am also with you, because my Son desires for my love, as a ray of light, to bring your souls to life; for me to help you in the search for peace and eternal happiness. Therefore, my children, love one another, be united through my Son, be children of God who all together, with full, open and pure heart, pronounce the ‘Our Father’. And do not be afraid! Thank you.” Mother, please give us full, open and pure hearts, so that we can love as your children, and pronounce the ‘Our Father’ with our entire being! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
