Ask and it will be given to you…
March 13, 2025
Dear Family of Mary
This is the Gospel for today:
Matthew 7:7-12
Jesus said to his disciples: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asked for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asked for a fish? If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him. “Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.” The Gospel of the Lord.
How comforting it is to know that we can simply ask the Lord for what we need, seek it from Him, and we will find it, and knock on His door and He will open it to us. The Lord is not far off, aloof, and indifferent. He is ready to help us at all times. Denis and I have experienced God’s great love over the past week. In the face of a serious illness, Jesus has surrounded us with wonderful doctors and health care workers, and with incredibly loving family and friends, including all of you shipmates! We have experienced the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, through all of you!
Thank you!!
Our Lady also taught us about asking for what we need from Jesus, in this message:
Thursday, December 1, 1983
“Thanks to all of you who have come here, so numerous during this year, in spite of snow, ice and bad weather, to pray to Jesus. Continue, hold on in your suffering. You know well that when a friend asks you for something, you give it to him. It is thus with Jesus. When you pray without ceasing, and you come in spite of your fatigue, He will give you all that you ask from Him. For that, pray.”
This message is very consoling! We have a God who loves us. And Our Lady is so happy that we come to pray with her even when it is difficult. Let’s continue to pray for her intentions in the midst of our difficulties.
What more do we need? Jesus has given us far more than we could have asked for in this difficult time.
Denis has a long road to recovery, and so we ask you to be patient with us. We probably will not be able to do the Daily Rosary or Divine Mercy for a few more days. So pray for us some more! I will send out more news as I can. Know that we are praying for all of you, offering this up for all of you and for Our Lady’s plan to be fulfilled.
More info to come!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
