Dear Family of Mary!

"Dear children! Today, I and my Son desire to give you an abundance of joy and peace so that each of you may be a joyful carrier and witness of peace and joy in the places where you live. Little children, be a blessing and be peace. Thank you for having responded to my call." (December 25, 2010)

First of all, this message delivers a beautiful reality. This message comes from both Jesus and Mary! Our Lady tells us "Today, I and my Son desire to give you..." Jesus speaks in union with His Mother to each of us! Are we not the most blessed of children!

And what is it that Jesus and Mary wish to say to us? "Today, I and my Son desire to give you an abundance of joy and peace..." They want to pour down a surfeit of peace and joy upon us, a plenitude, an overflow of grace! Lots and lots and lots of peace and joy! Oh how we need this tremendous gift. We live in a world of woes, with terrible news coming at us every day, with fears within and without, with difficulties and travails. But, in the midst of all this Our Lord and Our Lady want to fill us with joy and peace.

This is an attractive idea, but will it really happen? It occurred to me that Our Lady did not just mention this desire, she also conferred it upon us. I think the last sentence of the message is not a command, it is a conferral. Our Lady spoke the words of blessing over us, "Little children, be a blessing and be peace."

We have only to say "yes" to this blessing, to say "amen". As we do we will receive it, really and truly. We are being given the blessing of peace and joy, the infilling of the Holy Spirit that will make us peace and blessing for others. The key is to receive the anointing, to receive the gift, to open our hearts and let it in. The words have been spoken. Let us respond. Let us receive!

In Jesus and Mary!

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Saint Augustine

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
