Mary TV: November 11, 2021 Reflection - He sent me to help you...

He sent me to help you...


November 11, 2021

Dear Family of Mary!

"...Because God loves and gives His peace to every creature; that is why He sent me to you, to help you to grow in holiness...."

We don't always remember the fact that Our Lady has not devised this plan in Medjugorje. She is not acting solo! The Father sent her to Medjugorje to set up a bivouac, a exploratory camp in which she could initiate His plan. It was a plan to create an oasis of peace in a world overrun with Satan's minions, welcomed into human society by the horrible "isms" of our time. The Father wanted to create a safe zone where His children could come and be blessed and healed by their Mother. A meeting place, where they could encounter her. He knew we needed Mother Mary because we were all living in a battle zone, a world set up to take our faith away.

And so she came.

He sent her to us to help us grow in holiness.

He sent her to heal our hearts so that we could return to Him, and receive His love and forgiveness.

He sent her to save us.

And she has done it for 40 years!

40 years of preparation for the Kingdom.

40 years to understand and learn God's love and grow in it.

40 years to become her children.

And she has not failed. She has gathered her children, and made of us a family. We are her little ones who will listen to her voice and follow her lead.

May we remain faithful to her call, to her presence, and to her plan! May we stay small and faithful to Our Lady.

Let us pray:

R. Amen.

In Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!
