Witness Courageously!

The Peace March in Medjugorje

Dear Family of Mary!

Today we are going to learn about courage from Our Lady! We face in our day many challenging situations. But Our Lady does not want us to be wimps!!!! She needs us to be courageous even as she was courageous so many times in her earthly life.

Think of the Flight into Egypt. Herod was set on killing little Jesus, and she had no army to defend her. Joseph led the way, leading the donkey carrying her and little Jesus all the way to Egypt. No one knew them there. They were aliens. And the enemy did not give up the chase. Think of the courage it took to live every day as refugees. Mother Mary developed deep courage. Why? Because she knew the love of God was stronger than any difficulty.

She wants us to develop this same courage. Listen to this message:

June 2, 2015 

“Dear children,
I desire to work through you,
my children, my apostles,
so that, in the end,
I may gather all my children
there where everything is prepared
for your happiness.

I am praying for you,
that through works you can convert others,
because the time has come for acts of truth,
for my Son.

My love will work in you –
I will make use of you.

Have trust in me,
because everything that I desire,
I desire for your good,
the eternal good created by the Heavenly Father.

You, my children, my apostles,
are living an earthly life in union with my children
who have not come to know the love of my Son,
who do not call me ‘mother’ –
but do not be afraid to witness Truth.

If you are not afraid
and witness courageously,
the truth will miraculously win,
but remember, strength is in love.

My children, love is
repentance,
forgiveness,
prayer,
sacrifice
and mercy.

If you will know how to love,
by your works you will convert others,
you will enable the light of my Son
to penetrate into souls.

Thank you.

Pray for your shepherds.
They belong to my Son.
He called them.
Pray that they may always have
the strength and the courage
to shine with the light of my Son.”

In order to respond to Our Lady’s call, we must have courage!! We must have strong hearts that impel us into action out of love!! That is courage! Strong hearts full of love. Pray, pray, pray, for God to strengthen our hearts and fill them with His love!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
