January 30, 2025 Reflection – the fruits will be love towards neighbor…
The fruits will be love towards neighbor… January 30, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Dear children, In this year of grace, I am calling you to conversion. Put God, dear children, in the center of your living and the fruits will be love towards neighbor and joy of witnessing; and the holiness of your life will become a true witness of faith. Thank you for having responded to my call. (January 25, 2025) When God is in the center of our living, the fruits of love and joy will abound! It is so true!! I have told this story already on the Rosary, but it still lingers in my heart with such warmth. So I will share it with all of you! Two days ago, I had signed up to bring dinner to a family near by. One of the children had been in the hospital, and so we were hoping to help them a little by bringing dinners. I brought dinner that night, but told the mom I was running to the store to get some bread for the meal, and I would be back soon. I ran to a nearby store and picked out some bread, but as I went by the flowers, I decided to get a bouquet for the sweet mom, just to cheer her up. When I went to the check out station, the young man started a little conversation. He asked me who the flowers were for, and I told him they were for my friend, whose child was sick, and that I was bring dinner tonight for them. When he gave me the total for my purchase, it was only the amount for the bread! I looked up at him, and he smiled and said, “The flowers are a gift from me for your friend.” I blushed, and thanked him from my heart. And when I asked him his name, he told me, “Emmanuel”!! I immediately replied, “God is with us!!” He smiled and said “yes”!! I cried on my way to deliver the flowers, and when I told my friend about the little miracle of love, she cried too! We were both overwhelmed with the love of God, expressed to us through that young man. Truly, when we put God in the center of our living, the fruits are love towards neighbor and the joy of witnessing!! I thank God for that wonderful young man, Emmanuel, and for my dear friend and her family, that together we could all experience love and joy in Jesus that night! God bless you all!! Together we will bring about the true witness of faith in our world!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S. Again I want to share with you the link to our donation page.
