“Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.”
July 21, 2025
Saint Lawrence of Brindisi
Dear Family of Mary!
God sends us many signs of His love for us. But we are so often hard-hearted, and unable to perceive those signs. As we read the Gospels, we hear of sign after sign which Jesus did publicly! Healings abounded, there was the multiplication of loaves and fish, and so many conversions happened to the most unlikely of people! And yet, in the Gospel for today, the Pharisees seem to be oblivious to these miracles, and ask for a sign.
“Some of the scribes anad Pharisees said to Jesus, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” He said to them in reply, “An evil and unfaithful generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah the prophet. Just as Jonah was in the belly of the whale three days and three nights, so will the Son of Man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. At the judgment, the men of Nineveh will arise with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and there is something greter than Jonah here. At the judgment the queen of the soulth will arise with this generation and condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and there is something greater than Solomon here.” (Mt. 12:38-42)
To us, it sounds rediculous for the Pharaisees to be so blind to Jesus’ works. But we can be pretty blind ourselves in our day. Our own preconcieved notions can get in the way of our seeing what God is doing!! In this message below, Our Lady warns us of our own blindness to the graces of this time! And she offers us the cure!
December 25, 2015 (Jakov)
(The apparition began at 2:08 pm and lasted 10 minutes. Afterwards Jakov transmitted the message):
Dear children! All these years that God permits me to be with you are a sign of the immeasurable love which God has for each one of you and a sign of how much God loves you.
Little children, how many graces the Most High has given to you and how many graces he desires to give to you.
But, little children, your hearts are closed and live in fear, and do not permit Jesus to have His love and His peace overcome your hearts and to begin to reign in your lives.
To live without God means to live in darkness and never to come to know the Father’s love and His care for each of you.
Therefore, little children, today in a special way pray to Jesus that as of today your life may experience a new birth in God and become a light which will radiate from within you, and thus that you may become witnesses of God’s presence in the world to every person who lives in darkness.
Little children, I love you and daily intercede before the Most High for you. Thank you for having responded to my call.
The Pharisees lived in fear. They saw Jesus as a threat to their positions of power over the people. And they let that fear blind them to the great works of mercy and love that Jesus was doing. Our Lady tells us that we too can live in fear and not permit Jesus to have His love and His peace overcome our hearts!! This is a tragedy.
Today lets take her advice:
“Therefore, little children, today in a special way pray to Jesus that as of today your life may experience a new birth in God and become a light which will radiate from within you, and thus that you may become witnesses of God’s presence in the world to every person who lives in darkness.”
Yes, we will pray to Jesus for a new birth in God! We want to be lights that radiate and witness God’s presence in the world!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
