“Live my messages even more strongly in humility and love”

St. John Eudes
Dear Family of Mary!
In our Gospel today, Jesus warns the disciples: “But many who are first will be last and the last will be first.” (Mt 19:30)
This is such a simple statement! It is the end of a teaching that Jesus gave to His disciples about the dangers of being rich. Actually Jesus’ entire life on earth was a demonstration of this difficult saying. Jesus was poor, of no rank or station in society, a manual laborer like his foster father. He seemed to be the last, but was indeed the first! Jesus is our model of humility. Humility is a precious gift, a blessed state of soul. Our Lady was also humble. She had no station, no power, only her love and humility to give to others. We would do well to imitate Jesus and Mary!
Our Lady has asked us to live in humility in many of her messages. Here are five of them, that we can ponder in our Rosary today. May humility grow in us, as we follow Our Lady!
September 19, 1985 “Dear children! Today I invite you to live in humility all the messages which I am giving you. Do not become arrogant living the messages and saying ‘I am living the messages.’ If you shall bear and live the messages in your heart, everyone will feel it so that words, which serve those who do not obey, will not be necessary. For you, dear children, it is necessary to live and witness by your lives. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
November 25, 1988 “Dear children! I call you to prayer, to have an encounter with God in prayer. God gives Himself to you, but He wants you to answer in your own freedom to his invitation. That is why little children during the day, find yourself a special time when you could pray in peace and humility, and have this meeting with God the creator. I am with you and I intercede for you in front of God, so watch in vigil, so that every encounter in prayer be the joy of your contact with God. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
April 25, 2004 “Dear children! Also today, I call you to live my messages even more strongly in humility and love so that the Holy Spirit may fill you with His grace and strength. Only in this way will you be witnesses of peace and forgiveness. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
October 25, 2005 “Little children, believe, pray and love, and God will be near you. He will give you the gift of all the graces you seek from Him. I am a gift to you, because, from day to day, God permits me to be with you and to love each of you with immeasurable love. Therefore, little children, in prayer and humility, open your hearts and be witnesses of my presence. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
January 25, 2016 “Dear children! Also today I am calling all of you to prayer. You cannot live without prayer, because prayer is a chain which brings you closer to God. Therefore, little children, in humility of heart return to God and to His commandments so that with all of your heart you are able to say: as it is in Heaven so may it be on earth. You, little children, are free to in freedom decide for God or against Him. See where Satan wants to pull you into sin and slavery. Therefore, little children, return to my heart so that I can lead you to my Son Jesus who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
God bless you all today! May the beautiful humility of Our Lady cover you all with peace and joy!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
