Sts. Perpetua and Felicity
Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! Through the immeasurable love of God I am coming among you and I am persistently calling you into the arms of my Son. With a motherly heart I am imploring you, my children, but I am also repeatedly warning you, that concern for those who have not come to know my Son be in the first place for you. Do not permit that by looking at you and your life, they are not overcome by a desire to come to know Him. Pray to the Holy Spirit for my Son to be impressed within you. Pray that you can be apostles of the divine light in this time of darkness and hopelessness. This is a time of your trial. With a rosary in hand and love in the heart set out with me. I am leading you towards Easter in my Son. Pray for those whom my Son has chosen that they can always live through Him and in Him - the High Priest. Thank you." (March 2, 2012)
Mother Mary tells us: "I am persistently calling you into the arms of my Son."Message after message, Our Lady tries to direct us into the embrace of Jesus. She calls us into the arms of her Son, she leads us, she guides us, she directs us into His arms. Her messages are designed to this end. But what does this mean? Here are a few messages as examples:
"Dear children! Today I am calling you to, with complete trust and love, set out with me, because I desire to acquaint you with my Son. Do not be afraid, my children, I am here with you, I am next to you. I am showing you the way to forgive yourselves, to forgive others, and, with sincere repentance of heart, to kneel before the Father. Make everything die in you that hinders you from loving and saving - that you may be with Him and in Him. Decide for a new beginning, a beginning of sincere love of God Himself. Thank you." (January 02, 2010)
"Dear children! These days I call you especially to open your hearts to the Holy Spirit. Especially during these days the Holy Spirit is working through you. Open your hearts and surrender your life to Jesus so that He works through your hearts and strengthens you in faith. Thank you for having responded to my call." (May 23, 1985)
"Dear children! Anew I call you to follow me with joy. I desire to lead all of you to my Son, your Savior. You are not aware that without Him you do not have joy and peace, nor a future or eternal life. Therefore, little children, make good use of this time of joyful prayer and surrender. Thank you for having responded to my call." (July 25, 2010)
Notice that Our Lady is asking us to go to Jesus in complete trust and surrender. That is how we find ourselves in His arms. We cannot enter into His embrace if we are not at peace with Him, reconciled with Him, trusting Him with our whole life, surrendering to Him all our circumstances, fears, sins, desires, hopes, dreams, and failures. To be in the embrace of Jesus is to be completely surrendered to His love. We have to stop fighting Him. He is our only hope.
If we surrender to Jesus we will be where Our Lady wants us, in His arms. If we trust Him with our whole lives, every aspect, every relationship, every reality, we will be where she wants us, in His arms. If we let go of our fear, our shame, our worries and anxieties, our pride, and our inordinate desires, we can throw ourselves into Jesus' arms, free and capable of union with Him. That is what Our Lady wants for us, what she desires with all her heart.
Surrender, trust, love - safe in the arms of Jesus!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
