July 28, 2023 Reflection – Pure hearts are always young!
Pure hearts are always young! July 28, 2023 Dear Family of Mary! The first full day of the Youth Festival was very powerful and very long!! Hundreds of participants climbed Apparition Hill early in the morning, arriving at 6:00 am for prayer with Ivan, the visionary, and Fr. Zvonomir! It was so moving! Then followed a three hour session around the church in the morning, another 2 hour session in the afternoon, and the evening session that went from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm!! Wow! You can watch it all on Mary TV! I found this message in which Our Lady spoke powerfully to all of us about how to live the faith. In it she told us that “pure hearts are always young and joyful”! Certainly we see young and joyful hearts at the Youth Festival! This message is really helpful for all of us today: January 2, 2018 “Dear children, when love is beginning to disappear on earth, when the way of salvation is not being found, I, the mother, am coming to help you to come to know true faith – living and profound – so as to help you to truly love. As a mother, I am longing for your mutual love, goodness, and purity. My desire is that you be just and that you love each other. My children, be joyful in your soul, be pure, be children. My Son used to say that he loves to be among pure hearts, because pure hearts are always young and joyful. My Son said to you to forgive and to love each other. I know that this is not always easy. Suffering makes you grow in spirit. For you to spiritually grow all the more, you must sincerely and truly forgive and love. Many of my children on earth do not know my Son, they do not love Him; but you who do love my Son, you who carry Him in your heart, pray, pray and in praying feel my Son beside you. May your soul breathe in His spirit. I am among you and am speaking about little and great things. I will not grow tired speaking to you about my Son – the true love. Therefore, my children, open your hearts to me. Permit me to lead you as a mother. Be apostles of the love of my Son and of me. As a mother I implore you not to forget those whom my Son has called to lead you. Carry them in your heart and pray for them. Thank you.” May we live her words with all our hearts. Especially these: My children, be joyful in your soul, be pure, be children. My Son used to say that he loves to be among pure hearts, because pure hearts are always young and joyful. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph, Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. You can watch every moment of the Youth Festival on Mary TV!!! Join us!!!
