“To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul!”
June 5, 2024
Dear Family of Mary!
At Holy Mass today, in the Psalm response we pray: “To you, O Lord, I lift up my eyes.” It is a wonderful prayer. We admit our need for the Lord our God, and in prayer we lift up our eyes…hoping to gaze upon the mercy of God. This inner disposition of humility is a good basis for our relationship with our God.
Our Lady models this humility to us, and speaks to us about it often. In this beautiful message from September 2, 2018, she shares her humility and wisdom with us:
September 2, 2018
“Dear children,
my words are simple
but are filled with motherly love and care.
My children,
all the more the shadows of darkness and deception
are being cast over you,
and I am calling you to the light and truth – I
am calling you to my Son.
Only He can transform despair and suffering
into peace and clarity;
only He can give hope in the deepest pain.
My Son is the life of the world.
The more that you come to know Him –
the more that you come close to Him –
all the more you will love Him,
because my Son is love.
Love changes everything;
it makes most beautiful also
that which, without love, seems insignificant to you.
That is why, anew, I am saying to you
that you must love a lot
if you desire to grow spiritually.
I know, apostles of my love,
that it is not always easy,
but, my children, also the painful paths
are paths which lead to spiritual growth,
to faith, and to my Son.
My children,
pray – think of my Son.
In all the moments of the day,
raise your soul to Him,
and I will gather your prayers
as flowers from the most beautiful garden
and give them as a gift to my Son.
Be true apostles of my love;
spread the love of my Son to everyone.
Be gardens of the most beautiful flowers.
With your prayers help your shepherds
that they may be spiritual fathers
filled with love for all people.
Thank you.”

“In all the moments of the day, raise your soul to Him…”
“To you, O Lord, I lift up my eyes.”
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
