April 28, 2026 Reflection-“May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children…”
“May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children…” April 28, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace “Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With ecclesiastical approval) “May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children…” Our Mother truly wants us to be filled with the Holy Spirit! She knows that it is only by the power of the Holy Spirit that we can fully understand her Son and learn to follow Him completely. With our own intelligence and desire, we can only understand and follow Jesus a little bit. We are like little blind puppies, hardly able to find our way without the Spirit of God leading us! Listen to how Jesus prepared His apostles and disciples for the Holy Spirit, so they could live out the Father’s plan for them after Jesus ascended: Acts.1:1-15 In the first book, O The-oph’ilus, I have dealt with all that Jesus began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. To them he presented himself alive after his passion by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God. And while staying with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, he said, “you heard from me, for John baptized with water, but before many days you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Sama’ria and to the end of the earth.” And when he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath day’s journey away; and when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord devoted themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. (Acts 1:1-15) It is very clear that without the infilling of the Holy Spirit, the apostles would not have been able to follow the Lord after His Ascension. How could they have managed?? But by the Holy Spirit, they were expertly guided along their way, spreading the Gospel to all those they met. This is how the Church was begun!! Only through the Holy Spirit’s power and guidance. We are not living in a time that is much different from that of the Apostles. We are surrounded by those who do not know Jesus and who need Him very much. We also need the Holy Spirit if we are going to help them find the Lord! May it be so!! God bless you all! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.
