Love one another!
May 20, 2022
Dear Family of Mary!
We have been pondering the Gospel Readings for the 5th week of Easter in a special way, allowing Jesus’ words to sink into our hearts, and then listening to Our Lady’s words which help us to respond to Jesus! It has been very good for me, and I hope for you!!
Today Jesus teaches us His Commandment. It is so simple sounding, but actually it is so difficult to do.
But we can’t let the difficulty stop us! We are called to love one another! And so when we fail, we must simply run to Jesus for forgiveness and the run to our brother or sister and ask for their forgiveness, and then start anew! Jesus has given us the way, through humility and contrition. Knowing this let us listen to Our Savior’s Commandment!
John 15:12-17
Jesus said to his disciples:
“This is my commandment:
love one another as I love you.
No one has greater love than this,
to lay down his life for his friends.
You are my friends
if you do what I command you.
I no longer call you slaves,
because a slave does not know
what his master is doing.
I have called you friends,
because I have told you
everything I have heard from my Father.
It was not you who chose me,
but I who chose you
and appointed you
to go and bear fruit that will remain,
so that whatever you ask the Father
in my name
he may give you.
This I command you:
love one another.”
(John 15: 12-17)
Jesus tells us that He has chosen us. And Our Lady has called us! We are so blessed to be chosen and called by Jesus and Mary!
Our Lady teaches us about our calling:

“Dear children,
My dear apostles of love,
my carriers of truth,
again I am calling you
and gathering you around me to help me,
to help all of my children
who thirst for love and truth –
who thirst for my Son.
I am a grace from the Heavenly Father,
sent to help you
to live the word of my Son.
Love one another.
I lived your earthly life.
I know that it is not always easy,
but if you will love each other,
you will pray with the heart,
you will reach spiritual heights
and the way to heaven will be opened for you.
I, your mother,
am waiting for you there
because I am there.
Be faithful to my Son
and teach others faithfulness.
I am with you.
I will help you.
I will teach you faith
that you may know how to transmit it to others
in the right way.
I will teach you truth
that you may know how to discern.
I will teach you love
that you may come to know what real love is…
My children,
my Son will make it
so as to speak through your words
and your actions.
Thank you.”
Our Lady is with us, so we have only joy ahead…She will lead us on the way!!
I am a grace from the Heavenly Father,
sent to help you
to live the word of my Son.
Love one another.
Yes Mother, we will follow you, and live the word of your Son, “Love one another!’
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
