Dear Family of Mary!

"Dear children! Also today I am with you and I am looking at you and blessing you, and I am not losing hope that this world will change for the good and that peace will reign in the hearts of men. Joy will begin to reign in the world because you have opened yourselves to my call and to God's love. The Holy Spirit is changing a multitude of those who have said 'yes'. Therefore I desire to say to you: thank you for having responded to my call." (January 25, 2011)

Our son, Joe, went with two busloads of fellow students from his high school to Washington, D.C., for the annual Right to Life March. It was his first time. After attending masses and rallies, and marching at the Capitol with thousands upon thousands of Americans from all over the country in support of legislation that protects all life, he boarded the bus and road all night back to Indiana. He got in at 7:30 am, Tuesday, January 25.

He was impressed by the march and the fervor of the demonstrators.  But he looked very serious, and then said that any country that has sunk to such a low moral level for so long, killing so many babies, could never recover.  He said he thought that the U.S. would be ruined within 100 years.
From a historical perspective, Joe may be right.  The odds are that we have hit the bottom as a country morally.  Is there any hope?
"Also today I am with you and I am looking at you and blessing you, and I am not losing hope that this world will change for the good and that peace will reign in the hearts of men."
That very afternoon, we received Our Lady's message.  She must have been listening to our conversation with Joe!  Her words shattered our despondency and turned our hearts around. Of course there is hope.  Our Lady is with us, blessing us, looking at us, teaching us, leading us, counseling us, and encouraging us!  She is not losing hope, and so neither can we!  No matter what we are facing in these days, we face them with Our Lady.  She, like Galadriel (in the Lord of the Rings) brings us heavenly light- the light of hope.  The darkness will not prevail.
As it says in Psalm 27: 1
"The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life:
of whom shall I be afraid?"

And again in Psalm 27:13-14:
"I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and let your heart take courage;
yea, wait for the Lord!"
Amen! Let's wait for the Lord!

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.
