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)
One of the most painful and difficult temptations in our lives is the desire to judge others. We live in societies. Our choices have consequences for others. And their choices have consequences for us. It is a risky business, this life we live.
We must always be discerning the truth and what is good according to God's Word. That is a given. But we can't and should not judge others' souls, even when they misbehave. We must leave that judgment to God. Our job is to love one another, in good times and in bad. And to pray for one another constantly.
In John 5:17-30, the Gospel for today, the Jews asked Jesus why he didn't keep the Sabbath. Jesus responded, saying, "My Father is at work until now, so I am at work." For this reason they tried to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God."
The Jews were judging Jesus, from the law. But they had no idea who Jesus really was. They didn't have all the facts. Only God has all the facts. We need to learn from the mistake of the Jews. We don't have all the facts and should not judge one another. Our job is to pray and to love. We can judge behavior, but not the heart.
It is good to take stock of our hearts regularly to be sure we are not judging others or even ourselves as if we are God. We don't have all the facts. Our job is to love and to serve and to pray. We can lovingly correct dangerous behaviors, but let God be the judge.
Our Lady spoke to us about judging and loving in this message:

"Dear children, with motherly love I am coming to help you to have more love and that means more faith. I am coming to help you to live with love the words of my Son, so that the world would be different.
Therefore, apostles of my love, I am gathering you around myself. Look at me with the heart, speak to me as to a mother about your pains, sufferings and your joys. Ask me to pray to my Son for you.
My Son is merciful and just. My motherly heart would desire for you also to be like that. My motherly heart would desire that you, apostles of my love, speak of my Son and of me to all those around you with your life, so that the world would be different; that simplicity and purity would return; that faith and hope would return.
Therefore, my children, pray, pray, pray with the heart, pray with love, pray with good works. Pray that everyone would come to know my Son, so that the world would change, that the world would be saved. With love live the words of my Son. Do not judge, instead love one another so that my heart could triumph. Thank you."
Let's take these words to heart and to prayer. Mother is showing us how to love, to live, and how not to judge!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
