My motherly heart desires for you …to be little lights of the world

April 16, 2025
Wednesday of Holy Week

Dear Family of Mary!

In today’s readings we hear Jesus warning his disciples that He will be betrayed by one of His own. It is heart-rending. Yet this is the road that the Father has asked Him to walk, and Jesus will not hold back. And at Mass today in Psalm 69 we can hear the deep submission and trust in the Father that Jesus had:

Psalm 69:
For your sake I bear insult,
And shame covers my face.
I have become an outcast to my brother,
a stranger to my mother’s sons,
Because zeal for your house consumes me,
and the insults of those who blaspheme you fall upon me.

Insult has broken my heart, and I am weak,
I looked for sympathy, but there was none;
for consolers, not one could I find.
Rather they put gall in my food,
and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

I will praise the name of God in song,
And I will glorify Him with thanksgiving:
“See, you lowly ones, and be glad;
you who seek God, may your hearts revive!
For the Lord hears the poor,
And his own who are in bonds he spurns not.”

Our Lady has asked us to have deep trust in the Father, in imitation of Jesus. This amazing message will help us:

“Dear children,
as in the other places where I have come to you,
also here I am calling you to prayer.

Pray for those who do not know my Son,
for those who have not come to know the love of God,
against sin,
for the consecrated –
for those whom my Son called
to have love and the spirit of strength for you,
for the Church.

Pray to my Son,
and the love which you experience from His nearness
will give you the strength to make you ready
for the works of love,
which you will do in His name.

My children, be ready.
This time is a turning point.

That is why I am calling you anew to faith and hope.
I am showing you the way by which you need to go,
and those are the words of the Gospel.

Apostles of my love,
the world is in such need of your arms
raised towards Heaven,
towards my Son,
towards the Heavenly Father.

Much humility and purity of heart are needed.
Have trust in my Son
and know that you can always be better.

My motherly heart desires for you,
apostles of my love,
to be little lights of the world,
to illuminate there where darkness wants to begin to reign,
to show the true way by your prayer and love,
to save souls.

I am with you. Thank you.”

May we carry this love for Jesus in our hearts at all times, and share it will all we meet. May this be a time of faith, no matter what!!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
