April 15, 2024 – Believe in Christ!
Believe in Christ! April 15, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! These words from St. Augustine are priceless: So when you hear “Believe in Christ,” don’t imagine it’s enough for you to believe Christ, that is, to believe that the things Christ says are true; don’t imagine it’s enough for you to believe that Christ is himself the one whom God foretold through the prophets; but believe in Christ, that is, love Christ. It is when you have fulfilled this that nothing more will be required of you, because love is the fullness of the law (Rom 13:10). When you’ve believed in Christ like that, so that you have that kind of ardent love for Christ, see if you won’t be able to make these words your own: Who shall separate us from the love of God? (Rom 8:35). So don’t waste time wondering how to do what Christ commands; you cannot not do it if you love Christ. Love, and you do it. (St. Augustine – from Magnificat April 2024 p.211) And these words from Our Lady are also priceless: May 25, 1999 “Dear children! Also today I call you to convert and to more firmly believe in God. Children, you seek peace and pray in different ways, but you have not yet given your hearts to God for Him to fill them with His love. So, I am with you to teach you and to bring you closer to the love of God. If you love God above all else, it will be easy for you to pray and to open your hearts to Him. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Remember, “You cannot not do it if you love Christ!!!” In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan (c) Mary TV 2024
