J.M.J August 24, 2012 Saint Bartholomew Dear Family of Mary! "Dear children! Today I call you to the 'good'. Be carriers of peace and goodness in this world. Pray that God may give you the strength so that hope and pride may always reign in your heart and life because you are God's children and carriers of His hope to this world that is without joy in the heart, and is without a future, because it does not have its heart open to God who is your salvation. Thank you for having responded to my call." (July 25, 2012) Tomorrow we will receive another message through Marija. Let's take one more look at the message of July 25, 2012 in preparation. This message actually caused a bit of a stir, because of the use of the world "pride". But it was a good stir, because many of us realized that we need to understand the dignity we have been given as children of God. We are so blessed! The Father loves us so much that He sent His only Son to free us from our sins. Jesus loves us so much that he willingly drank the cup of suffering to the dregs to free us from the clutches of the enemy. And the Holy Spirit, Who is Love, loves us so much that He comes to us at every moment, hoping to inspire us to deeds of love. And on top of all that, Mother Mary loves us so much that she comes every day now, to be with us and to guide and bless and protect us. We should all feel proper pride! St. Paul spoke so well of our proper pride in the letter to the Romans: If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit who dwells in you. So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh - for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, "Abba Father!" it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (Rom 8:11-17) Our proper pride is our total reliance upon God. We have been made sons and daughters of God through Jesus. We have nothing to prove. We have been loved. We have been chosen. We have been saved and changed forever by the love of God. May this beautiful reality sink deeply into our hearts. May we cry, "Abba, Father", with full confidence and joy. We are beloved children of the Father in Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit! Thank you, Mother, for helping us to come into the truth of who we are. May we live the life of love, our true inheritance! In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan ©Mary TV 2012 PS. The show "Fruit of Medjugorje - Episode 12" was aired last night, and is now available to play on our home page (www.marytv.tv ). It contains four testimonies from pilgrims in Medjugorje who have each experienced amazing healings and conversions through Our Lady. You can see in each of them that through their experience of love in Medjugorje, they have understood how much they are loved by God. That love is what moves them now in life and they each have such peace! Thanks to Rosie and Josip for gathering this beautiful fruit for us! Thanks to Mike and Matt for transforming the raw footage into such lovely shows and presenting them to us! Thank you to all of you who are watching. What a feast of love Our Lady is setting out before us! I can't wait for the message tomorrow. I will send it when I get it! |
