My motherly heart desires for you …to be little lights of the world   April 16, 2025 Wednesday of Holy Week Dear Family of Mary! In today’s readings we hear Jesus warning his disciples that He will be betrayed by one of His own. It is heart-rending. Yet this is the road that the Father has asked Him to walk, and Jesus will not hold back. And at Mass today in Psalm 69 we can hear the deep submission and trust in the Father that Jesus had: Psalm 69: For your sake I bear insult, And shame covers my face. I have become an outcast to my brother, a stranger to my mother’s sons, Because zeal for your house consumes me, and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me. Insult has broken my heart, and I am weak, I looked for sympathy, but there was none; for consolers, not one could I find. Rather they put gall in my food, and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink. I will praise the name of God in song, And I will glorify Him with thanksgiving: “See, you lowly ones, and be glad; you who seek God, may your hearts revive! For the Lord hears the poor, And his own who are in bonds he spurns not.” Our Lady has asked us to have deep trust in the Father, in imitation of Jesus. This amazing message will help us: June 2, 2017  “Dear children, as in the other places where I have come to you, also here I am calling you to prayer. Pray for those who do not know my Son, for those who have not come to know the love of God, against sin, for the consecrated – for those whom my Son called to have love and the spirit of strength for you, for the Church. Pray to my Son, and the love which you experience from His nearness will give you the strength to make you ready for the works of love, which you will do in His name. My children, be ready. This time is a turning point. That is why I am calling you anew to faith and hope. I am showing you the way by which you need to go, and those are the words of the Gospel. Apostles of my love, the world is in such need of your arms raised towards Heaven, towards my Son, towards the Heavenly Father. Much humility and purity of heart are needed. Have trust in my Son and know that you can always be better. My motherly heart desires for you, apostles of my love, to be little lights of the world, to illuminate there where darkness wants to begin to reign, to show the true way by your prayer and love, to save souls. I am with you. Thank you.” May we carry this love for Jesus in our hearts at all times, and share it will all we meet. May this be a time of faith, no matter what!!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

My children, my Son is the heart of the world.   April 15, 2025 Tuesday of Holy Week Dear Family of Mary! In today’s Gospel we see that disastrous results of betrayal. There is nothing more hideous than witnessing someone good being betrayed by another, by one who was intimate with him and should have known better. Betrayal comes in many forms, but it is ultimately the failure of a friend to cherish the life of someone who had loved them well. No personal gain can ever wash away the hideousness of that loveless act. We see Judas’ failure all too clearly. But of course we all have failed someone in our lifes. It is the favorite trick of our enemy to lure us into betrayal, disguised as something true or good. It never is. But we can be blinded by it so easily. Here is that sad account: John 13:21-30  Reclining at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, “Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus’ side. So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. He leaned back against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Master, who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it.” So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or to give something to the poor. So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night. It was night, in Judas’ soul. The blindness of his conscience was complete. Judas traded Jesus for some unknown gain that not even 30 pieces of silver could satisfy. And only after the deed, did Judas regain his sight. But too late. Our Lady warned us about betrayal, and urged us to be better in this message from 2017: May 2, 2017  “Dear children, I am calling you to pray, not to ask for but to offer sacrifice – sacrificing yourselves. I am calling you to reveal the truth and merciful love. I am praying to my Son for you, for your faith which is all the more diminishing in your hearts. I am imploring Him to help you with the divine spirit, as I also desire to help you with my motherly spirit. My children, you must be better. Only those who are pure, humble and filled with love sustain the world – they are saving themselves and the world. My children, my Son is the heart of the world. He should be loved and prayed to, and not always betrayed anew. Therefore, you, apostles of my love, spread the faith in the hearts of people by your example, your prayer and merciful love. I am beside you, I will help you. Pray for your shepherds to have all the more light, so as to be able to illuminate all those who live in darkness. Thank you.” “My children, my Son is the heart of the world. He should be loved and prayed to, and not always betrayed anew.” Our Lady needs us to stand with Jesus, through our love for Him. May we be pure, humble and filled with love…so that we can help Our Lady to sustain the world and save as many souls as possible. Our Lady asks us to spread the faith in the hearts of people by our example, our prayer and merciful love. We can be part of the renewal of the world, with Our Lady leading us. May it be so!
