February 13, 2023 Reflection – Humble devotion
Humble Devotion February 13, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! I have been hearing the same word over and over these days. It is a simple word to understand but it seems a difficult word to live. The word is humble. I feel it is a key that unlocks so much for us. We live in a fallen world which resists humility. To survive in a fallen world, we need to fight for our rights, compete for a living, defend ourselves, be self concerned so often. But Jesus demonstrated to us the reverse. To bless instead of curse, to forgive when we have been wronged, to trust the Father for our life instead of struggle to get ahead. And the key to all that Jesus asks of us, we must be humble, that is like a child in complete trust in the Heavenly Father. Our Lady is completely humble. She is our model for humility. What a nice teacher to have! Her messages are our school. If we listen to her, we grow in grace! Here is one message she gave to us about humility: October 2, 2010 “Dear children; Today I call you to a humble, my children, humble devotion. Your hearts need to be just. May your crosses be your means in the battle against the sins of the present time. May your weapon be patience and boundless love, a love that knows to wait and which will make you capable of recognizing God’s signs, that your life, by humble love, may show the truth to all those who seek it in the darkness of lies… My children, my apostles, help me to open the paths to my Son. Once again I call you to pray for your shepherds. Alongside them, I will triumph. Thank you.” Everything is here. All the ways to live for God in humility: humble devotion, justice, accepting our crosses, fighting for souls with patience and boundless love! And then seeing the whole world through the eyes of love which help us to see what God is doing and join in! This way of living is heaven! And the result: that your life, by humble love, may show the truth to all those who seek it in the darkness of lies… This is the way to save souls! Through humble love…Like Mary! Help us Mother to live by humble love!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2023
