| + J.M.J. July 25, 2012 Dear Family of Mary! Today we will receive a message through Marija. As we wait, we might look back to previous messages that Our Lady has given us. I have two in mind, two messages that give me a great deal of hope: "Dear children! Today I am calling you to a complete surrender to God. Everything you do and everything you possess give over to God so that He can take control in your life as the King of all that you possess. That way, through me, God can lead you into the depths of the spiritual life. Little children, do not be afraid, because I am with you even if you think there is no way out and that satan is in control. I am bringing peace to you I am your mother, the Queen of Peace. I am blessing you with the blessings of joy so that for you God may be everything in your life. Thank you for having responded to my call." (July 25, 1988) "Dear children! Today I wish to call you to pray, pray, pray! In prayer you shall perceive the greatest joy and the way out of every situation that has no exit. Thank you for starting up prayer. Each individual is dear to my heart. And I thank all who have urged prayer in their families. Thank you for having responded to my call." (March 28, 1985) These two messages can give us courage in the midst of our difficulties and stress. It can seem that our problems are so big, so tangled, so insurmountable that there is no way out, that satan is really in control, and there is no exit. Certainly this dead-end feeling is something the enemy wants to use on us to drive us to despair or to convince us to make a bad decision. He tries to magnify our situation in order to frighten us into submitting to his will. Nothing would make him happier than to see us sin out of fear, or choose to give up on life. Our Lady's words give hope. She calls us to surrender to God, and give everything over to Him. As we do this, then fear is washed away, because everything is in God's hands. And when fear is gone, we often can see the way out of the situation that has no exit. Fear can blind us. Also, our trust in God can give Him the permission He needs to act on our behalf and miraculously change everything, providing the way out we so desperately need. The news media is full of reports of situations in our economies, our governments or our local communities that have no exit, of world events that seem to be completely in satan's hands, and of human acts of cruelty or senseless violence that would have us despair. We have a choice. We can let this "news" overwhelm us with fear, or we can surrender to God through prayer with the heart. If we let Our Lady lead us towards God, towards peace, into family prayer and the joy of living, we will not only find the way out for ourselves, but we may find ourselves leading countless others out as well. These are days of grace and peace! We have only to grasp the hand of Mary, and she will lead us there. In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2012
