Mary TV: October 30, 2020 Reflection - The Lord is our strength and refuge!




 




Return to the Lord and He will be your strength and refuge

October 30, 2020

Dear Family of Mary!

''Dear children! At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call.'

“Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge…”
Ps.118

O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

his steadfast love endures for ever!

Let Israel say,
"His steadfast love endures for ever."
Let the house of Aaron say,
"His steadfast love endures for ever."
Let those who fear the LORD say,
"His steadfast love endures for ever."

Out of my distress I called on the LORD;
the LORD answered me and set me free.
With the LORD on my side I do not fear.
What can man do to me?
The LORD is on my side to help me;
I shall look in triumph on those who hate me.

It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to put confidence in man.
It is better to take refuge in the LORD
than to put confidence in princes.

All nations surrounded me;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!
They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!
They surrounded me like bees,
they blazed like a fire of thorns;
in the name of the LORD I cut them off!
I was pushed hard, so that I was falling,
but the LORD helped me.

The LORD is my strength and my song;
he has become my salvation.

Hark, glad songs of victory
in the tents of the righteous:
"The right hand of the LORD does valiantly,
the right hand of the LORD is exalted,
the right hand of the LORD does valiantly!"
I shall not die, but I shall live,
and recount the deeds of the LORD.

The LORD has chastened me sorely,
but he has not given me over to death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness,
that I may enter through them
and give thanks to the LORD.
This is the gate of the LORD;
the righteous shall enter through it.

I thank thee that thou hast answered me
and hast become my salvation.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the head of the corner.
This is the LORD's doing;
it is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day which the LORD has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Save us, we beseech thee, O LORD!
O LORD, we beseech thee, give us success!
Blessed be he who enters in the name of the LORD!
We bless you from the house of the LORD.

The LORD is God,
and he has given us light.
Bind the festal procession with branches,
up to the horns of the altar!
Thou art my God, and I will give thanks to thee;
thou art my God, I will extol thee.
O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures for ever!


“Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge…”

Amen and Amen!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: October 29, 2020 Reflection - Put on the armor of God!





 



Put on the armor of God!


October 29, 2020

Dear Family of Mary!

''Dear children! At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call.'' (October 25, 2020)
“Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life…”

Our Lady has been leading us into the depths of the spiritual life! She has been with us so long, to teach us the way of salvation, which is Jesus! Our Lady knows that Satan is fighting against us, and she wants us to be prepared. That preparation consists in becoming united with her Son Jesus, the Way, the Truth, and the Life. 

St. Paul walked along “the Way” with great fidelity and courage. And here is what he taught about the troubles of his time. They are the same today. All the trouble comes ultimately from our adversary, the Devil. We must stand, like St. Paul, in faith and strength, wearing the armor of God and not give in! 

Pray on this powerful scripture which happens to be the first reading for Holy Mass today and let the strength of Jesus fill you:

Ephesians 6:10-20:

Brothers and sisters: Draw your strength from the Lord and from his mighty power. Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the Devil. For our struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities, with the powers, with the world rulers of this present darkness, with the evil spirits in the heavens. Therefore, put on the armor of God, that you may be able to resist on the evil day and, having done everything, to hold your ground.

So, stand fast with your loins girded in truth, clothed with righteousness as a breastplate, and your feet shod in readiness for the Gospel of peace. In all circumstances, hold faith as a shield, to quench all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 

With all prayer and supplication, pray at every opportunity in the Spirit. To that end, be watchful with all ­perseverance and supplication for all the holy ones and also for me, that speech may be given me to open my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the Gospel for which I am an ambassador in chains, so that I may have the courage to speak as I must. (Eph 6: 10 -20)

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: October 28, 2020 Reflection - 100 years!





 



Queen of Peace, pray for us!


October 28, 2020
St. Simon and St. Jude

Dear Family of Mary!

''Dear children! Currently, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred. That is why I am with you for this long, to lead you to the way of salvation, to Him who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call.''
“Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred.”

Our Lady has told us many times over the years that she was sent by God to be with us and to help us in this time of intense spiritual warfare. Satan is strong, she tells us. We can see it for ourselves. He is inciting riots, protests, desecrations of churches, and anger between factions all over the world. He wants us to hate each other. It doesn’t really matter what the issue is, he just wants us to hate each other and war against each other. 

On the contrary, Our Lady is the Queen of Peace. She has come to bring us peace and to draw closer and closer to God. Through the Five Stones, she has been building holiness in us, so that we can become peacemakers. And she has been teaching us to love others, to pray for others, and to serve. 

I believe that there is a decisive moment approaching. As Sr. Lucia said, the devil is in the mood for a decisive battle, one in which one side will win and the other will lose. I read a post that Fr. Richard Heilman wrote today, in which he points out that Pope Leo XIII had prophesied that there would be 100 years in which Satan would be unbound. 

Fr. Heilman said that it could be that that 100 years began in October of 1920, when Russia legalized abortion. Russia was the first country to do this horrible thing. And that act allowed Satan to rush into our world. Abortion is the portal through which he could come in power and begin his 100 year reign. Since then, abortion has been spread all over the world. And today we see the results. Abortion gives power to Satan. It is his anti-sacrament. So today, we see the battle at its most intense. 

Fr. Heilman also remarked that Amy Coney Barrett’s appointment to the Supreme Court on October 26, 2020 may be the signal that the 100 years Satan’s rule of terror in the world is ending. This October 2020 marks 100 years since the legalization of abortion in Russia in October of 1920. Maybe now the tide will turn, and mankind will come back to sanity. Maybe now the accuser of the brethren will be cast out. Maybe the 100 years of Satan’s rule will be over. But he will not leave without a last full-out attack.

We do not know the plans of God. But our job now is to return to God, every day. Pray with all our hearts, every day. Call on all the Saints every day. Pray our Rosaries every day! Love our families, our neighbors, our co-workers, our parishes. Be peace, like Jesus and Mary are peace. And stay very close to Our Lady. She will be our safety. Let’s do as she has said:

"Dear children! Today I call you especially now to advance against Satan by means of prayer. Satan wants to work still more now that you know he is at work. Dear children, put on the armor for battle and with the Rosary in your hand defeat him! Thank you for having responded to my call." (August 8, 1985)

In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Mary TV: October 27, 2020 Reflection - Invoke ALL the Saints!

 

 


Invoke the help of all the saints!!


October 27, 2020

Dear Family of Mary!

''Dear children! At this time, I am calling you to return to God and to prayer. Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you. Satan is strong and is fighting to draw all the more hearts to himself. He wants war and hatred.

Little children, return to the love for God and He will be your strength and refuge. Thank you for having responded to my call. (October 25, 2020)

“Invoke the help of all the saints, for them to be an example and a help to you!”

As I read this message for the first time, I was immediately struck with this sentence about invoking the help of ALL the saints. I felt that Our Lady was saying something important. That she wanted us to call on ALL the saints, every last one of them, because we need the entire Host of Heaven to fight with us in this most important time. 

We need ALL the saints to intercede with us to the Father for the salvation of souls. We need ALL the saints to do spiritual warfare with us, because this battle is with the devil himself. We need ALL the saints to join us in praying for the conversion of those who do not yet know the love of Jesus. We need ALL the saints to join us under the leadership of Our Lady, for her triumph!! 

And I am sure that ALL the saints are standing at the ready, hoping that we will call on them now! They want to be good examples for us, showing us how to be faithful to God, no matter what situation we are in. They want to encourage us when we are suffering, or when we are tired out from the fight. They want to pray for graces for us. They want to surround us with their presence and the presence of the angels. This battle we are in today is a spiritual battle. We need the Church Triumphant to fight with us!

Let’s pray together the Litany of the Saints. It is long, but we need the protection of ALL the Saints!!
