June 21, 2021 Reflection – 40th Anniversary Novena, Day 7

Day 7 of our Novena before the 40th Anniversary:

March 25, 2021

“Dear children! Also, today I am with you to tell you: Little children, he who prays does not fear the future and does not lose hope. You are chosen to carry joy and peace, because you are mine.

I have come here with the name ‘Queen of Peace’ because the devil wants peacelessness and war, he wants to fill your heart with fear of the future – but the future is God’s.

That is why, be humble and pray, and surrender everything into the hands of the Most High Who created you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

In this message Our Lady addressed all our fears: “…Little children, he who prays does not fear the future and does not lose hope…”

We can learn from these words of our Mother that he who fears the future and is losing hope is he who does not pray. If we find ourselves awash in fear, seeing the future as dark and foreboding, then we need to repent, and start to pray from the heart as she has taught us to do all these years. Wouldn’t we be fools to disregard what Our Mother had taught us for 40 years, and to let the darkness overcome us?

Our Lady told us: “I have come here with the name ‘Queen of Peace'”

Our Lady came to us, sent by God, to bring a message. And the message came in her title first announced by her on Thursday, August 6, 1981:“I am the Queen of Peace.”

Our Lady came with this title, because she was sent to stand in opposition to the devil who was instigating wars and hatred throughout the world – “…because the devil wants peacelessness and war, he wants to fill your heart with fear of the future…”

Our adversary is casting a web of fear and despair over the world in our day. It is his plan to lead us to despair. He wants to kill all hope, and fill us with darkness.

But with four words Our Lady stops him in his tracks: “…but the future is God’s.”

Whenever we are tempted to fear or despair, to hopelessness or darkness, we need only say those four words with faith, the the darkness will dissipate: “…but the future is God’s.”

And then live Our Lady’s call, her messages, her life: That is why, be humble and pray, and surrender everything into the hands of the Most High Who created you.

This is our future, our hope, and our safety: humility, prayer and surrender into the hands of our Creator and God!
