March 4, 2026 Reflection – …that He may lead you towards the resurrection through your personal conversion.
…that He may lead you towards the resurrection through your personal conversion. March 4, 2026 Dear Family of Mary, The February 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace! “Dear children, In this time of grace, anew, I am calling you to offer your lives to God that He may lead you towards the resurrection through your personal conversion. Little children, God is near to you and heeds your prayers, but you are lulled to sleep, and that is why He sent me to you to awaken you, and that you may shine holiness like a spring flower. Thank you for having responded to my call. ” (With ecclesiastical approval) Our Lady calls us to offer our lives to God so that He may lead us towards the resurrection through our personal conversion. She wants us to truly give ourselves to God this Lent because we need conversion, and it will only happen to us if we stay close to Jesus who will help us to repent and change. We can’t convert on our own. It is too hard. We need Jesus to walk us through it, guiding us and teaching us and encouraging us. We need Jesus! Here is a litany based on a litany written by St. John Henry Newman! It will help us to offer our lives to Jesus this Lent!! Jesus can walk us through this Lenten time towards the Resurrection, powered by our conversion and repentance!! Litany of Repentance Based on a Litany of Penance by St. John Henry Newman Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. O Christ, hear us. God, the Father in heaven, have mercy on us. God, the Son, Redeemer of the world, have mercy on us. God, the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. Holy Trinity, one God, have mercy on us. Incarnate Lord, have mercy on us. Lover of souls, have mercy on us. Savior of sinners, have mercy on us. Who came to seek and save those who were lost, have mercy on us. Who fasted for them forty days and nights, have mercy on us. By your tenderness towards Adam when he fell, By your faithfulness to Noah in the ark, By your remembrance of Lot in the midst of sinners, By your mercy on the Israelites in the desert, By your forgiveness of David after his confession, By your patience with the Ninevites when they repented in sackcloth and ashes, By sending John to go before you as the preacher of repentance, By your testimony about the tax collector who hung his head and smote his breast, By your welcome given to the returning Prodigal, By your gentleness with the woman of Samaria, By your mercy towards Zacchæus, leading him to return what he had stolen, By your pity on the woman taken in adultery, By your mercy to Magdalene, who loved much, By your converting look, at which Peter wept, By your gracious words to the thief on the cross, have mercy on us. We poor sinners pray, hear us, Lord God. That we may submit to your loving discipline, That we may bring forth fruits of repentance, That sin may not reign in our mortal bodies, That we may work out our salvation with fear and trembling, hear us, Lord God. Son of God, hear us. Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world; have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world; have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world; grant us your peace. O Christ, hear us. O Lord, hear our prayer. and let our cry come before you. Let us pray. O Lord, give your faithful people pardon and peace that they may be cleansed from all their offences and serve you with a quiet mind; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
