Be witnesses of love without bounds!

October 18, 2022
St. Luke, Evangelist

Dear Family of Mary!

September 25, 2022 “Dear children! Pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten you that you be joyful seekers of God and witnesses of love without bounds. I am with you, little children, and, anew, I am calling all of you: take courage and bear witness to the good works that God is doing in and through you. Be joyful in God. Do good to your neighbor so that it will be good for you on earth and pray for peace, which is threatened because Satan wants war and peacelessness. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Our Lady told us to pray in this way in the September 25 message:
“Pray that the Holy Spirit may enlighten you that you be… witnesses of love without bounds!”

What does it mean to be witnesses?  She has asked us to witness many times.  What does it mean to be a witness?  The simple answer is: a witness is a person who saw, or can give a firsthand account of, something.

Witnesses experience an event or see something happen that they later can attest to.  They share through their own words an experience they have had.  Our Lady tells us to pray to the Holy Spirit so that we can be witnesses of “love without bounds”!  We have to ask ourselves when we have seen love without bounds?  When have we experienced love without bounds so that we can witness to others about it?

Our Lady answers this question in the next line:
“I am with you, little children, and, anew, I am calling all of you: take courage and bear witness to the good works that God is doing in and through you.”

The love without bounds is the love which God does within us, which He lavishes upon us as we draw close to Him.  The love without bounds is demonstrated each time we go to Confession and we are absolved of all our sins!  The love without bounds exists in the Eucharist which is the Body and Blood of our Savior, sacrificed for our salvation, and given to us as daily food!  The love without bounds is Jesus, conceived in a Virgin’s womb, who is born, lives, heals, ministers, teaches and loves all those He meets, and then dies on the Cross, completely poured out for our sins, and uttering forgiveness to His last breath.  This is the love without bounds.  This is the love that has saved us all.

The boundless love we are to witness is the love that has saved us!  It is the love that won for us eternal life!!  It is boundless!! It is so huge the universe cannot hold it.  It is so powerful that no one can stop it!!

This is the witness that the Apostles gave in Jerusalem.  And it is the witness we must give wherever we live.  The witness of the boundless love of God!!

Our Lady is with us to live this love and witness it as well.  This message is very consoling:

March 25, 2005 “Dear children! Today I call you to love. Little children, love each other with God’s love. At every moment, in joy and in sorrow, may love prevail and, in this way, love will begin to reign in your hearts. The risen Jesus will be with you and you will be his witnesses. I will rejoice with you and protect you with my motherly mantle. Especially, little children, I will watch your daily conversion with love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Thank you dearest Mother!  We want to be witnesses of love without bounds!!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
