March 10, 2025 Reflection – Only through the love of God is eternity gained.
Only through the love of God is eternity gained. March 10, 2025 Dear Family of Mary Here is the responsorial psalm for today’s Mass – Psalm 19: R/ (Jn 6:63b) Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life. The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The decree of the Lord is trustworthy, giving wisdom to the simple. R/ The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is clear, enlightening the eye. R/ The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever; The ordinances of the Lord are true, all of them just. R/ Let the words of my mouth and the thought of my heart find favor before you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. R/ We often think of God’s Law as something restrictive and distasteful. Fasting, penance, “thou shalt not” stuff. Our modern world encourages us to do what we want to do! I am my own boss. But we know what a mess we can make of our lives with that attitude. God gives us laws because they can help us to find our true selves and the happiness of living a good life. His law refreshes the soul, rejoices the heart, enlightens the eye, gives purity and truth to those who live it. Mother Mary gave us a message in which she gave us the secret to understanding and living God’s law! October 2, 2006 “Dear Children! I am coming to you in this your time to direct the call to eternity to you. This is the call of love. I call you to love because only through love will you come to know the love of God. Many think that they have faith in God and that they know His laws. They try to live according to them; but they do not do what is the most important; they do not love Him. My children, pray and fast. This is the way which will help you to open yourselves and to love. Only through the love of God is eternity gained. I am with you. I will lead you with the motherly love. Thank you for having responded.” The secret to living God’s law is to love Him! When we love God, we can live His law, because it comes from Him. It is His love sent to us in a practical way, to lead us into the joy of life! This Lent let’s love God with our entire heart, and see how beautiful our lives will become, lives that embody the law through love! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.
