Dear Family of Mary!
The September 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace.
“Dear children! May this time be a time of prayer for peace. I am calling you to renew in your families the prayer of the Rosary for my intentions, so that I may be able to multiply your prayers and intercede for you before the Most High, [for Him] to heed your prayers and to give you peace. I am with you and like never before I pray for you and with you, my little children. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Yesterday I had a chance to visit with Mike Nolan, our son. He spent some time trying to explain to me the importance of not just speaking to and listening to my fears, but to speak to and listen to the Holy Spirit. He is constantly driving home to me that I won’t find answers to my trouble in my own brain. I need to go to the Lord Jesus and talk to Him about those fears. And I need to constantly turn to the Holy Spirit with all those things I try to understand myself. Nothing will be solved by my internal ponderings!!
I know he is right! Whenever I do pray about a situation or a relationship, the answers come clearly and with great joy and power.
This Psalm prayer for Holy Mass today is a good one to remember and pray often. It describes the process of going to the Lord for help, discernment, understanding, and guidance, instead of trying to understand and solve my problems. Read the Psalm within the context of going to the Lord for help and wisdom. You could even recite the Psalm before you go to prayer about something. It makes the process tangible.
R/ (3b) The Lord made us, we belong to him.
Sing joyfully to the Lord all you lands;
serve the Lord with gladness;
come before him with joyful song. R/
Know that the Lord is God;
he made us, his we are;
his people, the flock he tends. R/
Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
his courts with praise. R/
Give thanks to him; bless his name, for he is good:
the Lord, whose kindness endures forever,
and his faithfulness, to all generations. R
When you have a problem or a serious decision, or whatever, sing to the Lord!! Come before him with a joyful song! Tell Him you love Him!! Tell Him you know that He is God, and He made you, and you are His! Give Him thanks for all that!! Bless His name and realize how good He Is!! Let His kindness surround you and His faithfulness make you feel secure. And then ask Him how to solve your problem!! It works!!!
Our Lady has advised us in the same way. These five messages might make a good meditation for your rosary:
Monday, February 25, 1985 “For next week, I invite you to say these words: ‘I love God in everything’. With love, one obtains everything. You can receive many things, even the most impossible. The Lord wishes for all the parishes to surrender to Him, and I too, in Him. I desire it. Each evening, make your examination of conscience, but only to give thanks in acknowledgment for everything that His love offers us at Medjugorje.”
August 25, 1988 “Dear children! Today I invite you all to rejoice in the life which God gives you. Little children, rejoice in God, the Creator, because He has created you so wonderfully. Pray that your life be joyful thanksgiving which flows out of your heart like a river of joy. Little children, give thanks unceasingly for all that you possess, for each little gift which God has given you, so that a joyful blessing always comes down from God upon your life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
April 25, 1989 “Dear children! I am calling you to a complete surrender to God. Let everything that you possess be in the hands of God. Only in that way shall you have joy in your heart. Little children, rejoice in everything that you have. Give thanks to God because everything is God’s gift to you. That way in your life you shall be able to give thanks for everything and discover God in everything even in the smallest flower. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
September 25, 1989 “Dear children! Today I invite you to give thanks to God for all the gifts you have discovered in the course of your life and even for the least gift that you have perceived. I give thanks with you and want all of you to experience the joy of these gifts. And I want God to be everything for each one of you. And then, little children, you can grow continuously on the way of holiness. Thank you for responding to my call.”
Monday, February 25, 1985 “For next week, I invite you to say these words: ‘I love God in everything’. With love, one obtains everything. You can receive many things, even the most impossible. The Lord wishes for all the parishes to surrender to Him, and I too, in Him. I desire it. Each evening, make your examination of conscience, but only to give thanks in acknowledgment for everything that His love offers us at Medjugorje.”
Amen! “I love God in everything!!”
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
