February 12, 2025 Reflection – Give glory to God the Creator in the colors of nature!

Give glory to God the Creator in the colors of nature!   February 12, 2025 Dear Family of Mary! Today for Holy Mass, we again read from Genisis about our creation! The narrative zooms down, presenting how God made man from the clay of the ground… God makes all the trees and plants for man’s sustainance and warns him not to eat of a certain tree. How present and loving God is to Adam and Eve. How generous and also wise He is. Let’s prayerfully read this account: Genesis 2:4b-9, 15-17 At the time when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens—while as yet there was no field shrub on earth and no grass of the field had sprouted, for the Lord God had sent no rain upon the earth and there was no man to till the soil, but a stream was welling up out of the earth and was watering all the surface of the ground—the Lord God formed man out of the clay of the ground and blew into his nos­trils the breath of life, and so man became a living being.  Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and he placed there the man whom he had formed. Out of the ground the Lord God made various trees grow that were delightful to look at and good for food, with the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  The Lord God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it. The Lord God gave man this order: “You are free to eat from any of the trees of the garden except the tree of knowledge of good and evil. From that tree you shall not eat; the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die.” We know the outcome of this situation, and it is painful. But we also know that God did not give up on Adam and Eve and He will not give up on us. This message from Our Lady reflects the love of God for us, and calls us to relate to Him as the loving Father He is!! August 25, 1999  “Dear children! Also today I call you to give glory to God the Creator in the colors of nature. He speaks to you also through the smallest flower about His beauty and the depth of love with which He has created you. Little children, may prayer flow from your hearts like fresh water from a spring. May the wheat fields speak to you about the mercy of God towards every creature. That is why, renew prayer of thanksgiving for everything He gives you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” May we follow Our Lady’s advice. Give glory to God!! Give thanks to Him for all He has done for us!! Let prayer flow from our hearts like fresh water from a spring!! We are so loved by God!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

February 11, 2025 Reflection – Open yourselves to profound prayer…

Open yourselves to profound prayer…   February 11, 2025 Our Lady of Lourdes Dear Family of Mary! Here is the second half of the Creation account, found in Genesis 1:20 – 2:3! It is really good to read these anointed words with quiet hearts and minds, so that we can again realize our deep dependence upon God, for our entire being. This dependence is actually Heaven! Genesis 1: 20 – 31 And God said, “Let the waters bring forth swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the firmament of the heavens.” So God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day. And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the cattle according to their kinds, and everything that creeps upon the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God finished his work which he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done. So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all his work which he had done in creation. (Genesis 1: 20 – 31) God did everything He could to bless and care for us. He set up a world of plenty and peace. But we know the rest of the story. It is very sad, so sad. But no matter how much we have strayed from God, He always tries to draw us back to Himself. And in these days, the Father has sent our Heavenly Mother, Mary most Holy, to draw us back to Himself again. And she has stayed with us for over 43 years, constantly encouraging us and correcting us so that we will grow ever closer to God and not fall away. Her messages are incredibly helpful to us. Here is one: June 25, 2017 “Dear children! Today, I desire to thank you for your perseverance and call you to open yourselves to profound prayer. Prayer, little children, is the heart of faith and is hope in eternal life. Therefore, pray with the heart until your heart sings with thanksgiving to God the Creator who gave you life. I am with you, little children, and carry to you my motherly blessing of peace. Thank you for having responded to my call…” May we respond to her call to profound prayer until our hearts sing with thanksgiving to God the Creator who gave us life!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
