In everything, seek God’s way of thinking…

Dear Family of Mary!
In the Gospel for today, Mark 8:27-33, Jesus rebukes Peter for not understanding Jesus’ teaching. Peter could not accept that Jesus would one day be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the scribes, and be killed…Peter’s heart could not believe such a thing!
“Then Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him [Jesus]. At this he turned around and, looking at the disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Mk 8:32-33
Jesus needed to prepare his disciples for that very thing, and so Peter had to be corrected!! We often need correction by the Lord, so that our thoughts line up with His thoughts. It is so necessary, if we are going to be able to help the Lord in our day.
Our Lady has spoken about the very same problem…how we think!

“Dear children,
with a motherly love and a motherly patience
I am looking at your ceaseless wandering
and how lost you are…
That is why I am with you.
I desire to help you to first
find and come to know yourself,
so that, then, you would be able to recognize
and to admit everything
that does not permit you
to get to know the love of the Heavenly Father,
honestly and wholeheartedly.
My children,
the Father comes to be known through the cross.
Therefore, do not reject the cross.
Strive to comprehend and accept it with my help.
When you will be able to accept the cross
you will also understand the love of the Heavenly Father;
you will walk with my Son and with me;
you will differ from those who have not come
to know the love of the Heavenly Father,
those who listen to Him but do not understand Him,
those who do not walk with Him –
who have not come to know Him.
I desire for you to come to know the truth of my Son
and to be my apostles;
that, as children of God, you may rise above
the human way of thinking
and always, and in everything,
seek God’s way of thinking, anew.
My children,
pray and fast
that you may be able to recognize
all of this which I am seeking of you.
Pray for your shepherds
and long to come to know
the love of your Heavenly Father,
in union with them.
Thank you.”
May we learn to think like Jesus thinks, to love as Jesus loves, and to live as Jesus lives. The school through which we learn these things is the Cross. God be praised!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
