Always carry my Son in your hearts and thoughts…
March 31, 2026
Dear Family of Mary,
The March 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje
”Dear children! The poison of selfishness and hatred rules human hearts and that is why you do not have peace. I am calling you, little children: be love and my extended hands to all those whom you meet. In humility, pray for peace and work on reconciliation among people, so that it may be good for every person on earth. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (With ecclesiastical approval)
We see the poison of selfishness and hatred at work in the heart of Judas in today’s Gospel. It is heart-rending. How could anyone who had lived with the Lord for three years, turn away from Him? It seems impossible, but it happened then and it happens now. Here is the Gospel for today:
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 13:21-33, 36-38
Reclining at table with his disciples, Jesus was deeply troubled and testified, “Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” The disciples looked at one another, at a loss as to whom he meant. One of his disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was reclining at Jesus’ side. So Simon Peter nodded to him to find out whom he meant. He leaned back against Jesus’ chest and said to him, “Master, who is it?” Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I hand the morsel after I have dipped it.” So he dipped the morsel and took it and handed it to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot. After Judas took the morsel, Satan entered him. So Jesus said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” Now none of those reclining at table realized why he said this to him. Some thought that since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus had told him, “Buy what we need for the feast,” or to give something to the poor. So Judas took the morsel and left at once. And it was night.
When he had left, Jesus said, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him at once. My children, I will be with you only a little while longer. You will look for me, and as I told the Jews, ‘Where I go you cannot come,’ so now I say it to you.”
Simon Peter said to him, “Master, where are you going?” Jesus answered him, “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later.” Peter said to him, “Master, why can I not follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Betrayal and denial. This is the story of Jesus’ Crucifixion and Death. He was abandoned by almost everyone. Judas betrayed him to his death. Peter denied him three times. The apostles all ran away, but for John.
We must not assume we are any different. Our Lady has warned us of such a fate. She calls us to always carry Jesus in our hearts and to pray for those who betray him:
September 2, 2014
“Dear children, I, your mother, am coming anew among you out of love which has no end, from endless love of the endless Heavenly Father. And as I am looking into your hearts, I see that many of you accept me as a mother and, with sincere and pure hearts, you desire to be my apostles.
But I am also the mother of those of you who do not accept me and who, in the hardness of your hearts, do not desire to come to know the love of my Son. And you [who do not desire my Son] do not know how much my heart suffers and how much I pray to my Son for you. I pray to Him to heal your souls because He can do so. I pray to Him to illuminate you with the miracle of the Holy Spirit so that you may stop, always anew, betraying, cursing and wounding Him. With all my heart I pray for you to understand that only my Son is the salvation and the light of the world.
And you, my children, my dear apostles, always carry my Son in your hearts and thoughts. In this way you are carrying love. All those who do not know Him will recognize Him in your love. I am always beside you. In a special way I am beside your shepherds because my Son has called them to lead you on the way to eternity. Thank you, my apostles, for your sacrifice and love.”
Our Lady prays for all those who betray and abandon her Son. She does not give up on them. And she asks us to love and reach out to those who are far from Jesus. She asks us to help her to reach them. This is the kind of love that Our Lady has for every person. She is Mother of all!
And so, She tells us: In humility, pray for peace and work on reconciliation among people, so that it may be good for every person on earth.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
