Let everything you do be for the glory of God!
October 10, 2023
Dear Family of Mary!
September 25, 2020 “Dear children! I am with you for so long because God is great in His love and in my presence. I am calling you, little children: return to God and to prayer. May the measure of your [way of] living be love and do not forget, little children, that prayer and fasting work miracles in you and around you. May everything you do be for the glory of God, and then Heaven will fill your heart with joy and you will feel that God loves you and is sending me to save you and the earth on which you live. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Our Lady makes it clear that it is our job to give Glory to God! “May everything you do be for the glory of God!” Now that is our job! It is our job to give glory to God in everything! Then it is God’s job to deliver us and defeat our enemy. We have been told in the Scriptures of many such moments when God miraculously saved his faithful people from impossible odds. One such moment is when the three young men refused to deny God and were thrown into a fiery furnace. But the flames could not touch them, because the Lord sent an angel into the furnace to protect them from the flames, and they gave Glory to God for their deliverance!!
Here is that account from the Book of Daniel. These young men risked their lives for the Lord, and he came to their rescue:
Daniel 15: 24-68:
Now the king’s servants who threw them in did not cease feeding the furnace fires with naphtha, pitch, tow, and brush. And the flame streamed out above the furnace forty-nine cubits, and it broke through and burned those of the Chaldeans whom it caught about the furnace. But the angel of the Lord came down into the furnace to be with Azariah and his companions, and drove the fiery flame out of the furnace, and made the midst of the furnace like a moist whistling wind, so that the fire did not touch them at all or hurt or trouble them.
Then the three, as with one mouth, praised and glorified and blessed God in the furnace, saying:
“Blessed art thou, O Lord, God of our fathers,
and to be praised and highly exalted for ever;
And blessed is thy glorious, holy name
and to be highly praised and highly exalted for ever;
Blessed art thou in the temple of thy holy glory
and to be extolled and highly glorified for ever.
Blessed art thou, who sittest upon cherubim
and lookest upon the deeps,
and to be praised and highly exalted for ever.
Blessed art thou upon the throne of thy kingdom
and to be extolled and highly exalted for ever.

and to be sung and glorified for ever.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his mercy endures for ever.
Bless him, all who worship the Lord, the God of gods,
sing praise to him and give thanks to him,
for his mercy endures for ever.”
Amen and Amen!!! Glory to God forever!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
