St. Bartholomew, Apostle
Dear Family of Mary!
As we look forward to a monthly message from Our Lady tomorrow, let’s again prayerfully meditate on the message for July 25, 2020:
“Dear children! In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself, I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope. Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected. You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive, and a new world of peace is possible. I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.” (July 25, 2020)
This message is much like a coach’s huddle on the sideline, when the game is a tough one, and the team is getting worn out.
First the coach recognizes that the opponent is making headway! Yes, the fight is hard, we are down a few points. (In this peaceless time in which the devil is harvesting souls to draw them to himself...).
What does the coach tell the team? Don’t give up, not now!! Keep going, keep fighting!! Keep it up until you discover the way to win. … (I am calling you to persevering prayer, so that in prayer you discover the God of love and hope.)
The team is hurting, they are tired and frustrated. So, what does coach say? Don’t let the suffering discourage you! Don't let the opponent take you down. Don’t let it get to you! Now is not the time to give up!! (Little children, take the Cross in your hands. May it be your encouragement for love to always win, in a special way now when the Cross and faith are rejected.)
Finally the coach gives them their game plan! You be the team I have trained you to be, winners! (You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive, and a new world of peace is possible!!)
And as an added incentive the coach tells them she is with them to the end! And she has help from someone powerful on their behalf! (I am with you and intercede for you before my Son, Jesus.)
Go, team, Go!!! Don't give up now!! Win!!!
This is a huddle for all of us on Our Lady’s team. She is giving us a pep talk. Don’t give up! A new world of peace is possible!! Don’t give up! I am with you! Don’t give up! I intercede for you before my Son, Jesus. Don’t give up! Take the Cross in your hands! May it be an encouragement for love to always win!! Don’t give up! You be a reflection and an example with your lives that faith and hope are still alive! Thank you for having responded to my call!
We say “Yes” to our heavenly coach! She is a tough woman. There is no stopping her. And she will get the job done. We should be very proud to be on her team. This is going to end in a terrific triumph!! The Triumph of the Immaculate Heart!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
