Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! I am calling you to be generous in renunciation, fasting and prayer for all those who are in temptation, and are your brothers and sisters. In a special way I am imploring you to pray for priests and for all the consecrated, that they may love Jesus still more fervently; that the Holy Spirit may fill their hearts with joy; that they may witness Heaven and Heavenly mysteries. Many souls are in sin, because there are not those who sacrifice themselves and pray for their conversion. I am with you and am praying that your hearts may be filled with joy. Thank you for having responded to my call."

Traci sent us this most joyful response to Our Lady's message:    
I wanted to write so much about this.  I love this message. BUT what do I say?
There is nothing funner then practicing renunciation out of love for Jesus. You ask me my hobbies...that is it! There are so many fun ways to do it. One time when I was praying the Rosary my bangs were tinkling my forehead...a lot. I just let them do it and kept praying. I felt like God's heart poured out like a river.
If we can just get ourselves calmed, with forgiveness, and in enough peace, then we can focus on offering even the smallest of sacrifices with joy and love, and then, well, what else is better! The joy and peace just flow into my heart and so many others are helped because I choose not to eat ice cream when I seriously want it.   Or when I was so thankful to be hungry or sick or abandoned and abused.... because our Love is a crucified Love.
It means we can give everything out of Love. The less others think of us, the less success we have, our illness, our poverty, and even every success can be glorified now. There is nothing better than loving God and He gave us the easiest way to do it. The Mother said "You helpless ones start helping!"
So let's not feel sorry for ourselves in the least. It makes us unthankful. The world tells us to feel bad when these things happen but the world doesn't know Jesus, Who gave everything for us. So everything we give to Him turns into joy. Let us rejoice in every sacrifice. Our Love is a crucified Love.

Thank you Traci! Beautiful!! 

I believe that we can make a difference, through love. By loving Jesus, and sacrificing out of love for Him, hearts can be opened and lives changed. Here is the message Traci quoted from, which says so much to us:
 
July 4, 1985 "Dear children! I thank you for every sacrifice you have offered. And now I urge you to offer every sacrifice with love. I wish you, the helpless ones, to begin helping with confidence and the Lord will keep on giving to you in confidence. Thank you for having responded to my call."

We may be helpless, but we can help!! We can make a difference for souls. Let's do it!!
 
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
