Mary TV: March 31, 2025 Reflection - I love you, but I cannot help you without you...

 





I love you, but I cannot help you without you...



March 31, 2025


Dear Family of Mary!


March 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje:


"Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God. Thank you for having responded to my call." (With Ecclesiastical approval)


I love you, but I cannot help you without you!!!


I think we can develop an attitude that implies that Our Lady can do anything, so we can just pray and wait for miracles!! But at least in my life, when I have done that, nothing happened!!! It was clear that Our Lady could not help me without me!!!!


Why not? Because God has given us a free will, and He will not contradict our will, and Our Lady will not either. God does not treat us like pawns. He gave us the right and responsibilty to steer our own course in life. It is a sacred charge.


In the Book of Deuteronomy, the Lord set before the Israelites two ways. One was to follow Him, and the other was to follow their own desires. The first way would lead to life, and the second would lead to death. But God did not force the people to follow Him then, and He will not force us either. We need to choose Him and participate in the life He gives us with pure and whole hearts.


Here was His ultimatum:


"I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live, loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice, and cleaving to him; for that means life to you and length of days, that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." (Deut. 30:19-20)


We see how respectful the Lord was to the free wills of the people of Israel. They had to choose. He could not and would not force them into the path He had for them. Their wills had to be involved, forming and moving them to act as God had shown them.


Our wills must also be actively involved in choosing the way that God is leading us through Our Lady. She cannot "save" us. But she can lead us and guide us into the right paths that will bring us to God. She speaks the words of life, but we must listen and choose to live that way of life that God is offering us through Our Lady.


In other words, she cannot help us without US!! We need to be actively involved in the plan of salvation that is set before us. Mother will help us, but she needs us to be actively involved!! Mother needs us!!


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: March 27, 2025 Reflection - Offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears...

 




Offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears...


March 27, 2025


Dear Family of Mary!


March 25, 2025 Message from Our Lady of Medjugorje:


"Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus. Pray with me, because, little children, without God you do not have a future or eternal life. I love you, but I cannot help you without you; therefore, say ‘yes’ to God. Thank you for having responded to my call." (With Ecclesiastical approval)


On Tuesday, Our Lady asked us to do something very surprising! Here is her request:


"Dear children, in this time of grace when you are called to conversion, I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus."


Mother Mary told us that we are in a time of grace in which we are called to conversion. Lent is the time of conversion, the call to return to God with all our hearts, our minds, and our souls! You would think this is a time for introversion, of working on our own salvation. A time to repent. And it is!


But in this sentence, she turned that idea on its head! She told us: "I am encouraging you, little children: offer me your prayers, sufferings and tears for conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of my Son Jesus."


Instead of looking at ourselves, seeking our own conversion, she wants us to offer our prayers and sufferings and tears for the conversion of hearts that are far from the Heart of her Son Jesus!! Our Lady is calling us to forget about ourselves, and pray for those who are far away from Jesus, those who do not know Him or love Him! This is the Lenten sacrifice she asks us to make, to pray for those who are far from Jesus!


Actually, I think she is on to something. Spending our Lent praying for all the souls who are far from God is truly a sacrifice. We can put ourselves second, and instead pray for those who really need our prayer for their salvation! Our sacrifices this Lent for the sake of the conversion of unbelievers, or those who have fallen away from God, may help many souls return to the Lord, and also help us to grow in humility and love for others.


This is God's way! It is beautiful! Let's offer our prayers, sufferings and tears for the conversion of our brothers and sisters who are far from the Heart of Jesus. A Lent filled with holy intercession!!


May it be so!


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: March 21, 2025 Reflection - Give me your hearts cleansed in confession...

 




Give me your hearts cleansed in confession...


March 21, 2025


Dear Family of Mary!


Here again is the message that Our Lady gave to us through Mirjana on March 18, 2025:


“Dear children! With motherly love I implore you: give me your hands folded in prayer, give me your hearts cleansed in confession and I will lead you to my Son. Because, my children, only my Son, with His light, can illuminate the darkness; only He, with His Word, can remove suffering. Therefore, do not be afraid to walk with me, because I am leading you to my Son - Salvation. Thank you.”

(With Ecclesiastical approval)


...give me your hearts cleansed in confession...


Our Lady not only asks for our hands folded in prayer, she also asks for our hearts cleansed in confession! This gift of our hearts, cleansed and healed in confession, is unbelievably beautiful and powerful.


Our Lady longs for us to be free of all that constrains us. Our sins constrain us, keeping us from being able to live our lives as her Son longs for us to live. We are hobbled by our sins. And we are vulnerable to the enemy and his lies, when we have not confessed our sins. She wants her children to be free to love, free to give, free to worship her Son and live our lives in the light and joy of the Holy Spirit.


May we run to confession!! May we unburden our hearts before the Lord. Our Lady longs to receive our hearts, cleansed in confession! Then we can have a joyful heart to heart relationship with her as well!!! Our lives will change!!!


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

This message from Our Lady is so touching, so personal, and so sweet! She speaks to us as her children! She calls us to be close to her. She extends her hands to us, and asks us to give her our hands...


I have the image of a little toddler who automatically extends her hand towards her mother, with such confidence and trust, to walk with her, always being led in the right direction, safely and serenely.


This is how I perceive Our Mother Mary. She is my Mother, my source of sustenance and hope, my comforter, my guide, my teacher, my dearest friend, my inspiration, my light, my way. She is my Mother!


There is much healing in imagining such a moment with Our Lady. In prayer, we can reach out to Her, to hold her hand, as we pray, as we recite the Rosary, as we intercede for our families and friends, as we praise Jesus for His great love. Holding Mother Mary's hand as we pray is the way to peace and healing, grace and enlightenment.


Thank you, dearest Mother, for extending your loving hands towards us, offering us the deep comfort of being held by your strong and beautiful hands as we walk through our lives. We are the most blessed of children with such a mother!!


In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
