"If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts."
March 12, 2026
Dear Family of Mary,
The February 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace!
"Dear children, In this time of grace, anew, I am calling you to offer your lives to God that He may lead you towards the resurrection through your personal conversion. Little children, God is near to you and heeds your prayers, but you are lulled to sleep, and that is why He sent me to you to awaken you, and that you may shine holiness like a spring flower. Thank you for having responded to my call. " (With ecclesiastical approval)
The Responsorial Psalm for today is a call to hear God's voice!! Truly, the Lord of Heaven and Earth speaks to us in many a varied ways. He never stops calling us back to Him! He loves us so much. Here is the Psalm:
Psalm 95
R. "If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts."
Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord;
let us acclaim the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come into His presence with thanksgiving;
let us joyfully sing psalms to Him.
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the Lord who made us.
For He is our God,
and we are the people He shepherds, the flock He guides.
Oh, that today you would hear His voice:
"Harden not your hearts as at Meribah,
as in the day of Massah in the desert,
Where your fathers tempted Me;
they tested me though they had seen my works."
R. "If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts."
Our God loves us so much! He longs for us to hear His voice and respond to His call. But we must learn to listen for Him. We need to grow more silent and attentive within, so that His soft voice can be heard. We also need to pray constantly, so as to fill our hearts with God's word and with hope. We need to soften our hearts through prayer so that His voice will penetrate them. And we need to defend our hearts by renouncing evil and choosing the good!
Our Lady has told us:
July 11, 1985 "Dear children! I love the parish and with my mantle I protect it from every work of satan. Pray that satan retreats from the parish and from every individual who comes into the parish. In that way you shall be able to hear every call of God and answer it with your life. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Monday, September 10, 1984 (To Jelena):
"Dear children, you must understand that one has to pray. Prayer is no joke; prayer is a conversation with God. In every prayer you must listen to the voice of God. Without prayer one cannot live. Prayer is life."
February 2, 2015
"Dear children! I am here, I am among you. I am looking at you, am smiling at you and I love you in the way that only a mother can. Through the Holy Spirit who comes through my purity, I see your hearts and I offer them to my Son.
Already for a long time I have been asking of you to be my apostles, to pray for those who have not come to know God's love. I am asking for prayer said out of love, prayer which carries out works and sacrifices.
Do not waste time thinking about whether you are worthy to be my apostles. The Heavenly Father will judge everyone; and you, love Him and listen to Him.
I know that all of this confuses you, even my very stay among you, but accept it with joy and pray that you may comprehend that you are worthy to work for Heaven. My love is upon you. Pray that my love may win in all hearts, because that is the love which forgives, gives and never stops. Thank you."
It is vitally important to listen for God's voice. He wants to lead us and direct us as we live our lives for Him. Surely we need to respond to His voice! We are His children and His followers. He needs to guide us. Let's learn to hear His voice this Lent!
R. "If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts."
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
