Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.

Dear Family of Mary!
The Gospel for today is one to remember. Jesus not only spoke these words but He lived them. Help us, Lord, to do the same!!!
Luke 6:27 – 38
“But I say to you that hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. To him who strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from him who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt.
“Give to every one who begs from you; and of him who takes away your goods do not ask them again. And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.
“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
“And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
“But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the selfish.
“Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
“Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be
forgiven; give, and it will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap.
“For the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
Our Lady gave us a beautiful message that echoes Jesus’ words:
February 2, 2013
“Dear children,
love is bringing me to you –
the love which I desire to teach you also –
real love;
the love which my Son showed you
when He died on the Cross out of love for you;
the love which is always ready to forgive
and to ask for forgiveness.
How great is your love?
My motherly heart is sorrowful
as it searches for love in your hearts.
You are not ready to submit your will
to God’s will out of love.
You cannot help me to have those
who have not come to know God’s love
to come to know it,
because you do not have real love.
Consecrate your hearts to me
and I will lead you.
I will teach you to forgive,
to love your enemies
and to live according to my Son.
Do not be afraid for yourselves.
In afflictions my Son does not forget
those who love.
I will be beside you.
I will implore the Heavenly Father
for the light of eternal truth and love
to illuminate you.
Pray for your shepherds
so that through your fasting and prayer
they can lead you in love.
Thank you.”
Real love! This is what Jesus taught us by His life!! Mother Mary did the same! May we follow their lead, and learn “real love”!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
