December 14, 2022 Reflection – Justice and Peace shall Kiss!

Justice and Peace shall kiss!

Dear Family of Mary!

The Responsorial Psalm for today is exceedingly beautiful! Let’s pray it together and feel the great love of God raining down upon us:

R. (Isaiah 45:8) Let the clouds rain down the Just One, and the earth bring forth a Savior.

I will hear what God proclaims;
the LORD–for he proclaims peace to his people.
Near indeed is his salvation to those who fear him,
glory dwelling in our land.

R. Let the clouds rain down the Just One, and the earth bring forth a Savior.

Kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss.
Truth shall spring out of the earth,
and justice shall look down from heaven.

R. Let the clouds rain down the Just One, and the earth bring forth a Savior.

The LORD himself will give his benefits;
our land shall yield its increase.
Justice shall walk before him,
and salvation, along the way of his steps.

R. Let the clouds rain down the Just One, and the earth bring forth a Savior.

Truly, our God wants to rain down His Love upon us, to pour out His salvation upon us, to fill us with His Kindness and truth! He wants us to have all these good things. Can we open our hearts to Him so that He can fill them? Can we say yes to Him, and in humility await His coming?

Our Lady gave us a message in which she told us that she wants to lead us into that loving relationship with her Son. She has been sent in these days to establish us in His Love, in His Justice and His Truth so that we can reflect that Love, Justice, and Truth to all those who have not yet experienced it. Listen to her invitation:

“Dear children,
Through the great love of the Heavenly Father
I am beside you as your mother
and you are beside me as my children,
as apostles of my love
whom I ceaselessly gather around me.

My children,
you are those who,
along with prayer,
need to completely surrender to my Son
so that you may no longer live
but my Son may live in you –

so that all those who do not know my Son
may see Him in you
and come to desire to know Him.

Pray that in you they may see
resolute humility and goodness,
a readiness to serve others;

that in you they may see
that you live your vocation in the world with the heart,
in communion with my Son;

that in you they may see
meekness, tenderness and love for my Son
as well as for all brothers and sisters.

Apostles of my love,
you must pray much and cleanse your hearts
so that you may be the first
to walk on the way of my Son,

that you may be the just
who are united with the justice of my Son.

My children,
as apostles of my love,
you must be united in the communion
which emanates from my Son,
so that my children who do not know my Son
may recognize the communion of love
and may come to desire to walk
on the way of life,
the way of unity with my Son.

Thank you.”

Mother may we help all your children to know the great love of your Son through our witness. May we help your Heart to Triumph and Jesus’ Heart to rain down upon the earth His Peace!

May it be so!
Amen!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
