Our Lady of Lourdes
Dear Family of Mary,
Here again is our message for this month!
The January 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace!
“Dear children, Today, I am calling you to be prayer and a blessing for all those
who have not come to know God’s love. Little children, be different from others and be positive people of prayer and love towards God, that with your lives, you may be a sign of God’s love to others. I bless you with my motherly blessing and intercede for each of you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call. (With ecclesiastical approval)
Our final Be-attitude from this message is “…that with your lives, you may be a sign of God’s love to others.”
As we grow in all the Be-attitudes, we will grow in love for others. The good we will do, the good we will say, the good we will pray for, it all will help us to be a sign of God’s love to others. When we will be remembered, it will be the good we have done that will stand out. And it will be a sign of God’s love to everyone!
Today is the Optional Memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes! This wonderful apparition took place in 1858, when Our Lady appeared to Bernadette Soubirous, a poor girl who had very little schooling. She was the only visionary. And she was interrigated and disbelieved. But she stuck to her guns even though the rest of her life was not easy. But many, many people did believe her, and came to the grotto to encounter Our Lady. And there have been many, many healings from “The Lady” who appeared to Bernadette.
Here is a quote from Bernadette that acutally demonstrates this Be-attitude we receieved from Our Lady through Marija, “…that with your lives, you may be a sign of God’s love to others.”
Bernadette said: “I shall spend every moment loving. One who loves does not notice her trials; or perhaps more accurately, she is able to love them. I shall do everything for Heaven, my true home. There I shall find my Mother in all the splendour of her glory. I shall delight with her in the joy of Jesus himself in perfect safety.”
Bernadette’s resolve to spend every moment loving can become our resolve as well. We want to spend every moment loving so that we can be a sign of God’s love to others!! This is true fruitfulness!! It is the only witness that matters!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
