July 7, 2026 Reflection – Like sheep without a shepherd…
Like sheep without a shepherd… July 7, 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) In our Gospel today, Mathew 9:32-38, Jesus shows His great compassion for us. It says: “Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdon, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd.” The crowds…abandoned and without a shepherd…it is heart breaking. But this sense of abandonment is with us today as well. So many people today feel lost and alone. Even we can feel this sometimes. It is so important to stay in daily communication with Our Lord and Our Lady!! Here is a message given through Jakov in which Our Lady speaks to this problem of abandonment: December 25, 2019 – Jakov The apparition began at 2:25 pm and lasted 9 minutes. Our Lady came with little Jesus in her arms. Through Jakov, Our Lady gave the following message: “Dear children, today, on this day of grace, in a special way I am calling you to open your hearts and to implore Jesus to strengthen your faith. Children, through prayer with the heart, faith and works you will come to know what it means to live a sincere Christian life. Often times, children, darkness, pain and crosses overwhelm your hearts. Do not waver in faith and ask ‘why’ because you think that you are alone and abandoned. Instead, open your hearts, pray and believe firmly and then your heart will feel God’s nearness and that God never abandons you – that He is beside you at every moment. Through prayer and faith, God will answer your every ‘why’ and transform your every pain, darkness and cross into light. Thank you.” Thank you, dearest Mother, for addressing our every need through your visionaries. We thank you for this message, filled with light and good counsel. We will open our hearts, pray and believe firmly until we feel God’s nearness!! Thank you, Mother!! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan Mary TV P.S.
