Dear Family of Mary!
The April 25, 2026 Message from Our Lady, Queen of Peace
"Dear children, I am praying for you and encourage you to a new life, a life in joy and prayer. May the Holy Spirit fill you, little children, with joy so that you may be like a spring of pure and drinkable water; that you, little children, may be, in God and with God, missionaries of love and peace. Your life is short here on earth and that is why I am with you to lead you towards Heaven. Thank you for having responded to my call." (With ecclesiastical approval)
We are approaching the Ascension of the Lord! And I think it is an important feast!! Jesus is taken up into Heaven! But there is very little written about it in the New Testament. Here is the first reading for the Feast of the Ascension from Acts 1. We are told how Jesus gave many proofs of His Resurrection to the Apostles and disciples and then gathered them together to witness His Ascension into Heaven in His body!!
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 1:1-11
In the first book, Theophilus, I dealt with all that Jesus did and taught until the day he was taken up, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. He presented himself alive to them by many proofs after he had suffered, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God. While meeting with them, he enjoined them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for “the promise of the Father about which you have heard me speak; for John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
When they had gathered together they asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He answered them, “It is not for you to know the times or seasons that the Father has established by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” When he had said this, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him from their sight. While they were looking intently at the sky as he was going, suddenly two men dressed in white garments stood beside them. They said, “Men of Galilee, why are you standing there looking at the sky? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will return in the same way as you have seen him going into heaven.”
The word of the Lord.
Jesus was able to ascend into Heaven in His Body!! He was taken up into Heaven as the Apostles and Disciples looked on! It must have been an incredible sight!! Truly it amazed and energized the Apostles to evangelize all those they met!!
Our Lady longs for us to all be in Heaven one day. But we need to long for Heaven too!! She told us:
September 25, 2021 "Dear children! Pray, witness and rejoice with me because the Most High continues to send me to lead you on the way of holiness. Be aware, little children, that life is short and eternity is waiting for you to give glory to God with your being, with all the saints. Little children, do not worry about earthly things, but long for Heaven. Heaven will be your goal and joy will begin to reign in your heart. I am with you and bless all of you with my motherly blessing. Thank you for having responded to my call."
May Heaven be our goal!! May our hearts already reside in Heaven with Jesus and Mary!!! May we long for Heaven and not worry about earthly things!
God bless us all and may Jesus and Mary be always with us!!
