Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned!

Ash Wednesday
Dear Family of Mary
March 2, 2019
"Dear children,
I call you 'apostles of my love'.
I am showing you my Son
who is the true peace and the true love.
As a mother, through the mercy of God,
I desire to lead you to Him.
My children,
this is why I am calling you to reflect on yourselves,
starting out from my Son,
that you look to Him with the heart
and that you may see with the heart
where you are and where your life is going.
My children,
I am calling you to comprehend
that it is, thanks to my Son, that you live -
through His love and sacrifice.
You are asking of my Son to be merciful to you
and I am calling you to mercy.
You are asking of Him to be good to you
and to forgive you,
and for how long am I imploring you, my children,
to forgive and to love all the people whom you meet?
When you comprehend my words with the heart,
you will comprehend and come to know the true love
and you will be able to be apostles of that love,
my apostles, my dear children.
Thank you."
Let us pray:
Psalm 51
Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.
Have mercy on me, O God, in your goodness;
in the greatness of your compassion wipe out my offense.
Thoroughly wash me from my guilt
and of my sin cleanse me. R/
For I acknowledge my offense,
and my sin is before me always:
“Against you only have I sinned,
and done what is evil in your sight.” R/
A clean heart create for me, O God,
and a steadfast spirit renew within me.
Cast me not out from your presence,
and your Holy Spirit take not from me. R/
Give me back the joy of your salvation,
and a willing spirit sustain in me.
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
May we live this Lent as never before, always
seeking God, longing for Him, and loving Him above all else. This is the
time to seek the Lord!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
