December 3, 2021 Reflection -May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God

May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God…

 

December 3, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

“May your hearts be filled with joy and faith in God; that, little children, you may have complete trust in His holy will…” (November 25, 2021)

These words (almost a prayer) from Our Lady carry in them an immense confidence in God. She is communicating to us in this message (November 25, 2021) her complete trust in God and His plan for her children in this time.

Our Lady is not a worry wart. She does not speak words of discouragement or fear. She stands on her knowledge of God which is complete and perfect! She knows who wins!! And she wants us to join her in that confidence and perfect trust, even though we are not in heaven yet. We are sojourners on our way to Heaven. And she is encouraging us to keep going, to not flag in zeal or hope. She is our cheerleader, you might say!

And so she wishes that our hearts would be filled with joy and faith in God. She hopes we will come to a place of complete trust in God’s holy will. She wants us to trust the Father just as she did throughout her life on earth. Even during the Crucifixion of her Son, she did not lose that trust. So she is a very credible witness to us. We can accept her guidance with our whole hearts, because she is worthy of that trust.

So, how can we fill our hearts with joy and faith in God? How can we come to have complete trust in His holy will?

It is through prayer, and through concrete actions that are based on our faith and joy in God.

Here is a litany written by Tom Hoopes that really speaks to this process of faith and joy and trust in God’s will. I hope you can pray it this weekend, and let your trust in God grow!

Litany of Faith, Hope, and Love

Lord God, please give me the grace of the virtues of faith, hope, and love that you promised at baptism and that only you can give.

Act of faith. My God, I believe in you, and all that your Church teaches, because you have said it, and your word is true.

Lord, I believe in you …

… Because the beauty of the world speaks of you.
… Because the goodness in the world comes from you.
… Because I can discern and know the truth.
… Because the laws of the universe are ordered.
… Because your creation is sustained in being.
… Because I am a mystery to myself that your words illuminate.
… Because you are the foundation of truth.
… Because you are too great for me to fully understand.
… Because trustworthy people have believed in you for centuries.
… Because of the witness of science.
… Because of the witness of the saints.
… Because of the witness of the Gospels.
… Because you have given me the gift of faith.
… Increase my faith.

Act of hope. My God, I hope in you, for grace and for glory, because of your mercy, your promises and your power.

Lord, I hope in you …

… Because everything else decays.
… Because you always keep your promises.
… Because you are the King of the Universe.
… Because you created me for your purpose.
… Because I have seen your hand in my own life.
… Because your words direct me.
… Because your goodness is the ground I walk on.
… Because you are greater than anything that threatens me.
… Because in history, good has triumphed.
… Because you have sustained your Church despite the weakness of men.
… Because you have provided for me all my life.
… Because you are all powerful.
… Because without you, I would not exist.
… Because of the witness of the saints.
… That I may I be happy with you forever.
… Increase my hope.

Act of love. O my God, because You are so good, I love You above all things and for your sake I love my neighbor as myself.

Lord, I love you …

… Because you loved me first.
… Because you are infinite goodness.
… Because you are inexhaustible beauty.
… Because you are unfathomable truth.
… Because you made love the fundamental law.
… Because I wouldn’t exist without love.
… Because you created me.
… Because you gave me every good thing.
… Because you gave me my faith.
… Because you have protected me.
… Because you have tested me.
… Because you have trusted me with your life in my soul.
… Because you have surrounded me with love.
… Because you died for me.
… Give me deeds of love and not just words.
… Increase my love.

Let us pray
Lord God, give me the faith I need to know your will, the hope I need to accept your will, and the love I need to do your will, even when I don’t understand it, knowing that your way is better. I ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

Our Lady Speaks

Vicka's Note MaryTV

Vicka, one of the visionaries in Medjugorje, wrote the note (above) after Our Lady spoke with her during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about Mary TV’s  plan to build a television facility in Medjugorje.

Vicka wrote to Denis: “Our Lady says that the plan is good – but you need to wait a little.  Now you can get prepared little by little, until Our Lady tells when the right moment is.  You don’t need to hurry, make haste, but to be patient.”

When Our Lady said this to Vicka, the technical genius in Medjugorje that she had her eyes upon, who would begin Mary TV’s live streaming from Medjugorje, was seven years old.

Totus Tuus (Totally Yours)

Immaculate Conception, Mary my Mother, Live in me, Act in me, Speak in me and through me, Think your thoughts in my mind, Love through my heart, Give me your dispositions and feelings, Teach, lead me and guide me to Jesus, Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts and behavior, Possess my soul, Take over my entire personality and life, replace it with Yourself, Incline me to constant adoration, Pray in me and through me, Let me live in you and keep me in this union always.

Our Lady gave this prayer 25 years before She started appearing in Medjugorje. This prayer is being answered through Our Lady’s presence in Medjugorje and through Her messages. Mother Immaculata writes: “This is Mary’s hour and She is about to crush Satan’s head. Her very being is like incandescent heat in the center of the Trinity and the manifestation of Her power is growing daily. The Immaculate Conception prayer (which is what Our Lady called the prayer she gave me for union with Her) has been used by exorcists who have told me that the devil reacts violently to it and is subdued by it. We are praying daily for the success of Mary TV!“

Our Lady Gives A Sign…

Mary_with_Sun

MARY TV was LIVE STREAMING Ivan’s May 24, 2013 apparition on Mt. Podbrdo (Apparition Hill) in Medjugorje. My wife, Cathy, was praying in front of her computer in the US, connected through the Internet, welcoming Our Lady along with everyone gathered on the mountain. She couldn’t see anything on her computer screen because it was late at night and Ivan had said, “No lights.” She found herself asking Our Lady for a sign – a little light – as a sign that MARY TV was on the right track and really serving her. Just after the apparition, when she went to give an account on Mary TV’s Facebook page, the page opened with this picture that she had never seen before, captioned: “MARY APPEARS OVER BUILDING IN MEDJUGORJE, PHOTO TAKEN BY PILGRIM.” Our Lady is standing directly over MARY TV’s studios, her feet right where we have two POV cameras STREAMING 24/7 LIVE TO THE WORLD Apparition Hill & Cross Mountain!

ASK JESUS IF HE’D LIKE YOU TO START SENDING A MONTHLY DONATION TO MARY TV.
TO CONTINUE SAILING WITH OUR LADY UPON THE DIGITAL SEA THIS BOAT NEEDS FINANCIAL HELP.

Our Lady spoke to Vicka during an apparition in Medjugorje in April, 1999, about the importance of Mary TV’s mission. At that time she told Vicka that she herself (Our Lady) would begin Mary TV! She did! But she didn’t do it alone. The generosity of her children made Mary TV a reality for her. Your generosity is needed now for it to continue!
