Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant! February 6, 2025 St Paul Miki and Companions Dear Family of Mary! In our first reading for Mass today we hear more from the Letter to the Hebrews! It is an eloquent call to understand what an awesome thing it is to approach the Living God!! What should we expect? Listen to this!! Hebrews 12:18-19, 21-24 Brothers and sisters: You have not approached that which could be touched and a blazing fire and gloomy darkness and storm and a trumpet blast and a voice speaking words such that those who heard begged that no message be further addressed to them. Indeed, so fearful was the spectacle that Moses said, “I am terrified and trembling.” No, you have approached Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and countless angels in festal gathering, and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, and God the judge of all, and the spirits of the just made ­perfect, and Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and the sprinkled Blood that speaks more eloquently than that of Abel. The word of the Lord Before Jesus came, the Father related to His people through signs and wonders that were awesome and terrible. But when He sent His Son, Jesus, that old dispensation passed away, and the new one began! We see Jesus!! He explains everything. He brings all into the light!! But still, even in this day, there are far too many who do not know Jesus. Our Lady warns us in this message not to miss out. We need to enter into the reality of Jesus as well: June 2, 2011  “Dear children! As I call you to prayer for those who have not come to know the love of God, if you were to look into your hearts you would comprehend that I am speaking about many of you. With an open heart, sincerely ask yourselves if you want the living God or do you want to eliminate Him and live as you want. Look around you, my children, and see where the world is going, the world that thinks of doing everything without the Father, and which wanders in the darkness of temptation. I am offering to you the light of the Truth and the Holy Spirit. According to God’s plan I am with you to help you to have my Son, His Cross and Resurrection, triumph in your hearts. As a mother, I desire and pray for your unity with my Son and His works. I am with you; you decide. Thank you.” Mother is clear, we each have to decide! Do we follow Jesus? Do we worship Him? Do we long to the Father in Heaven? Are we open to the Holy Spirit? We must decide. Let us decide each day for Jesus! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!   February 5, 2025 St. Agatha Dear Family of Mary! Today, our Psalm for Holy Mass is taken from Psalm 103! It is a wonderful remembrance of the incredible goodness of the Lord!! His great love for us! Here it is: Psalm 103 (for Holy Mass, February 5, 2025) Response: The Lord’s kindness is everlasting to those who fear him. Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all my being, bless his holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. R/ As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him, For he knows how we are formed;  he remembers that we are dust. R/ But the kindness of the Lord is from eternity to eternity toward those who fear him, And his justice toward children’s children among those who keep his covenant. R/ Amen, and amen!! The Lord our God loves us as a father. He looks after us as a gentle Father who provides for His children, and follows them throughout their life with His love and concern!! Our Lady gave us a message in which she shared the very same gratitude to God for His great love for each one of us. Here it is: October 25, 1995 “Dear Children! Today I invite you to go into nature because there you will meet God the Creator. Today I invite you, little children, to thank God for all that He gives you. In thanking Him you will discover the Most High and all the goods that surround you. Little children, God is great and His love for every creature is great. Therefore, pray to be able to understand the love and goodness of God. In the goodness and the love of God the Creator, I also am with you as a gift. Thank you for having responded to my call.” We have been created by the only true God, who is only Good!! We have only to turn to Him with thanksgiving and trust, and He will take care of our future according to His wonderful love! And so we sing: Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all my being, bless his holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits!!!! God bless you all today and always!!
