October 21, 2024 Reflection – Special Graces!
Special Graces! October 21, 2024 Dear Family of Mary! Our Lady has spoken about grace in many messages. She wants us to realize that God is giving us graces during these days! But I wonder if we have fully pondered what grace is? There are two kinds of grace, Sanctifying Grace and Actual Grace. I found a very good article about the Catholic understanding of Grace which I am giving you all as homework for today! Here is the link to the article that I found on Catholic Answers.com. I urge you to just read it. It is not too long, but it is thorough. https://www.catholic.com/tract/grace-what-it-is-and-what-it-does After reading this article, read this message from Our Lady. I think it will make even more sense after reading the article: March 25, 1987 “Dear children! Today I am grateful to you for your presence in this place, where I am giving you special graces. I call each one of you to begin to live as of today that life which God wishes of you and to begin to perform good works of love and mercy. I do not want you, dear children, to live the message and be committing sin which is displeasing to me. Therefore, dear children, I want each of you to live a new life without destroying all that God produces in you and is giving you. I give you my special blessing and I am remaining with you on your way of conversion. Thank you for having responded to my call.” Mother Mary wants us to live the new life of Grace! We need Sanctifying Grace, which comes through the Sacraments of Baptism and Confession, and Actual Grace which helps us to choose the good each moment of our lives. I believe the graces that Our Lady gives us are Actual Graces that make it easier for us to choose the good!! Those graces help us maintain our souls in Sanctifying Grace! Well, let’s all read the article a couple times and talk about it tomorrow!! In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV
