Tuesday of Holy Week
Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! Also today the Most High permits me to be with you and to lead you on the way of conversion. Many hearts have shut themselves to grace and have become deaf to my call. You, little children, pray and fight against temptation and all the evil plans which the devil offers you through modernism. Be strong in prayer and with the cross in your hands pray that evil may not use you and may not conquer in you. I am with you and pray for you. Thank you for having responded to my call." (March 25, 2015)
As
we approach the Passion of Our Lord in the readings for daily Mass, we
are presented with the actions of Judas. The scene is being set for the
handing over of Jesus to the Jews. In the Gospel for today, St. John
tells us that Jesus was deeply troubled as He sat at table with His
disciples. "Amen, amen, I say to you, one of you will betray me"
(Jn 13:21). When I hear these words read at Mass, I feel like we are
all looking around, uncomfortably wondering if it might apply to us as
well. And indeed, it very well might be.
Our
Lady says as much in this message. We, like Judas, have the weakness of
fallen nature that makes us subject to temptation. We, like Judas, can
be fooled by the bogus plans of the devil, plans that look so promising
at first glance, but hold the seeds of terrible evil. Judas was used by
evil, and conquered by it, it seems. His love of money entangled him
until he became the tool of the devil. I doubt he realized what was
happening to him until it was too late.
We
are so blessed to have Our Mother with us in these days to warn us, to
correct us and to guide us out of such danger. She speaks very clearly
to us in this message. She is here at the permission of the Father to be
with us and lead us on the way of conversion. She can help us
disentangle from the web of the enemy, and find our way on to the solid
ground of conversion. But we must participate in this conversion
process. We must fight temptation and reject the plans of the devil, we
must pray and take the cross in our hands as a sign to Satan that we
belong to Jesus. We must renounce Satan so that he may not use us or
conquer in us.
But
we are not alone in this battle, Our Lady is with us. She will pray
with us and for us. With her help, we will be able to stand firm, and
not betray Our Lord.
In
peace, let us enter this time of intense prayer and meditation, with
the eyes of our hearts on Jesus, and our hands firmly in the hand of
Mary.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
