June 13, 2023 Reflection – St. Anthony of Padua

Dear Family of Mary!

Today is the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. He is a marvelous saint, and is very well loved by the people of Bosnia Hercegovina. On this day people walk many miles to go to the Shrine of St. Anthony at Humac, Lubuski and attend Mass, Confession, and pray to St. Anthony! It is a very deep tradition for the people.

We need the saints. And the saints want to help us! They are our brothers and sisters in eternity. And they love us! Truly they do!!

Our Lady has asked us to call on the saints, to ask for their intercession and their help. In these days, we really need them. Here are several messages in which she explains why we need them!

October 25, 2010 “Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for you. My call, little children, desires to be for you a call to decide to follow the way of conversion; therefore, pray and seek the intercession of all the saints. May they be for you an example, an incentive and a joy towards eternal life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

October 25, 2014 “Dear children! Pray in this time of grace and seek the intercession of all the saints who are already in the light. From day to day may they be an example and encouragement to you on the way of your conversion. Little children, be aware that your life is short and passing. Therefore, yearn for eternity and keep preparing your hearts in prayer. I am with you and intercede before my Son for each of you, especially for those who have consecrated themselves to me and to my Son. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

October 25, 2020 “Dear children, At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

September 25, 2021 “Dear children! Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. Be aware, little children, that life is short and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints. Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Let’s pray to St. Anthony today!! Believe in his help, and tell him everything. Heaven is near us with all the help we need in our day!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
