July 2, 2026 Reflection – Rejoice, little children, and be joyful also in difficulties…
Rejoice, little children, and be joyful also in difficulties… July 2, 2026 Dear Family of Mary! June 25, 2026 (the 45th anniversary message!) “Dear children! Rejoice with me because the Most High permits me to be with you, to lead you to Him Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Rejoice, little children, and be joyful also in difficulties and you will have the strength, because you will be aware that you are transient, and you will know to offer everything to God. That is why, do not forget: I am your Mother and I love you. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) “Rejoice, little children, and be joyful also in difficulties…” Our Lady has spoken to us over the years about suffering. She is always compassionate, but at the same time she calls us to offer our crosses with love and courage for the sake of those in need. And so, she tells us in this message to be joyful also in difficulties… Jesus taught us from the Cross, how to accept suffering for the sake of souls, for the sake of saving those who are lost or weak. It is a difficult call, but one that brings great peace when we realize that we can help the lost and the forsaken. This call to suffer for others is magnificent and beautiful. In heaven we will see the fruit. Our Lady has consistently called us to accept suffering out of love for God and our brothers and sister. Here are 5 messages that contain this call. We can use them as meditations for the Rosary today: September 11, 1986 “Dear children! For these days while you are joyfully celebrating the Cross, I desire that your cross also would be a joy for you. Especially, dear children, pray that you may be able to accept sickness and suffering with love the way Jesus accepted them. Only that way shall I be able with joy to give out to you the graces and healings which Jesus is permitting me. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) September 25, 1996 “Dear children! Today I invite you to offer your crosses and suffering for my intentions. Little children, I am your mother and I wish to help you by seeking for you the grace from God. Little children, offer your sufferings as a gift to God so they become a most beautiful flower of joy. That is why, little children, pray that you may understand that suffering can become joy and the cross the way of joy. Thank you for having for responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) March 25, 2006 “Courage, little children! I decided to lead you on the way of holiness. Renounce sin and set out on the way of salvation, the way which my Son has chosen. Through each of your tribulations and sufferings God will find the way of joy for you. Therefore, little children, pray. We are close to you with our love. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) March 25, 2013 “Dear children! In this time of grace I call you to take the cross of my beloved Son Jesus in your hands and to meditate on His passion and death. May your suffering be united in His suffering and love will win, because He who is love gave Himself out of love to save each of you. Pray, pray, pray until love and peace begin to reign in your hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) March 25, 2025″Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With Ecclesiastical approval) May we discover the beauty of a life given for others. We can make a difference! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
