Dear Family of Mary!
"You, my children, my apostles, are living an earthly life in union with my children who have not come to know the love of my Son, who do not call me 'mother' - but do not be afraid to witness the truth. If you are not afraid and witness courageously, the truth will miraculously win, but remember, strength is in love.
My children, love is repentance, forgiveness, prayer, sacrifice and mercy. If you will know how to love, by your works you will convert others, you will enable the light of my Son to penetrate into souls...." (June 2, 2015)
Our
Lady needs us to be witnesses of the truth. In this difficult time, the
truth is needed more than ever. The fruit of lack of truth is broken
lives, broken families, broken communities and nations. There is no
peace without the truth. We may think that the problems we face are
insurmountable, that the entanglement cannot be sorted out. But Our Lady
tells us that if we witness courageously to the truth, that truth will
miraculously win.
And
so she calls us to witness. But our witness is not by way of argument
as much as it is by way of love. Love is our strength. Love is our
light. Love is our sign.
Love
is repentance. If we repent of our own disorder and sin, it is an act
of love for others. As we choose the good, we become the good for those
who need us.
Love
is forgiveness. If we forgive those who have hurt us, it is an act of
great love, transforming love. We unlock the doors of mercy and our
forgiveness brings new life to ourselves and others.
Love
is prayer. If we pray, we call down the love of God upon ourselves and
our families and the world. Our prayer helps to free souls, heal hearts,
and turn minds towards God. It is an act of love to pray.
Love
is sacrifice. When we sacrifice, we make room in ourselves for God and
for our neighbor. We make room for those who may need us. Sacrifice is
an act of self-gift which is always love.
Love
is mercy. Mercy is giving to others without cost, without stint,
without judgment or design. Mercy is being free like Jesus is free, able
to love no matter what. Our mercy will unleash new life all around us.
And so love is what will bring about the miraculous victory of the truth. Because love is Jesus, who is truth.
May we love and may we witness.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
