“I desire to lead you…”
May 12, 2025
Dear Family of Mary!
As we move through Easter Season, there is one thing that continues to show up in the readings at Mass. As the Apostles begin to spread out throughout the countryside, they experience the guidance of the Holy Spirit! They begin to rely on God’s guidance in amazing ways!! The first reading at Mass today from the Acts of the Apostles tells of a vision that Peter had in which it was made clear to him that all people were included in their evangelization, not just the Jews! This was very new to the Apostles, but the miracles that the Lord did as they began to reach out to non-Jewish people confirmed it. (Read Acts 11:1-18)
It seems that Our Lady is calling us to learn to be led by the Holy Spirit as well. She wants us to receive guidance from the Lord in our prayer and in her messages so that God can work miracles in and through us as well. She said to us:
July 25, 1985
“Dear children! I desire to lead you, but you do not wish to listen to my messages. Today I am calling you to listen to the messages and then you will be able to live everything which God tells me to convey to you. Open yourselves to God and God will work through you and keep on giving you everything you need. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Our Lady tells us that her messages are indeed a way for God to lead us in these days. We need to listen to them, so that we can receive all that God is telling Our Lady to tell us! We need to let God lead us through Our Lady in these very difficult but very gracefilled days!
July 3, 1986
“Dear children! Today I am calling you all to prayer. Without prayer, dear children, you are not able to experience either God, or me or the graces which I am giving you. Therefore, my call to you is that the beginning and end of your day always be prayer. Dear children, I wish to lead you daily more and more in prayer, but you are not able to grow because you do not desire it. My call, dear children, is that for you prayer be in the first place. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
We need to be led in prayer, taught and guided by Our Lady and God Himself! This is the missing piece to our lives of faith. We need a daily prayer life that will open up the communication lines with Our Lady and with the Lord! Without this experience of God and Our Lady on a daily basis, we will not be able to do the works of God that we are called to do, just as the Apostles were called to do all those years ago.
We are called to walk with Our Lady and with the Lord, in a real way, through daily prayer that is open to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit! We are needed!!! May we renew daily prayer, and expect God to be with us in that prayer, inspiring and teaching us and leading us to help Him!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
