Finding the lost...
November 3, 2022
Dear Family of Mary!
In
the Gospel reading for today, Jesus tells the Pharisees and Scribes how
much He loves the lost, those who need His mercy. This merciful love
confounded the leaders of Israel, but should be our greatest joy! Listen
to His beautiful, merciful heart:
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke 15:1-10:
The
tax collectors and sinners were all drawing near to listen to Jesus,
but the Pharisees and scribes began to complain, saying, “This man
welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
So Jesus addressed this parable to them.
“What
man among you having a hundred sheep and losing one of them would not
leave the ninety-nine in the desert and go after the lost one until he
finds it?
And
when he does find it, he sets it on his shoulders with great joy and,
upon his arrival home, he calls together his friends and neighbors and
says to them, ‘Rejoice with me because I have found my lost sheep.’
I tell
you, in just the same way there will be more joy in heaven over one
sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous people who have no
need of repentance.
Our Lady gave a beautiful message to us that echoes Jesus' merciful words. She wants us to be just like her Son:

"Dear children,
my motherly heart is crying
as I am looking at what my children are doing.
Sins are multiplying,
the purity of soul is all the less important;
my Son is being forgotten
- honored all the less;
and my children are being persecuted.
That is why,
you my children,
apostles of my love,
with soul and heart
invoke the name of my Son.
He will have the words of light for you.
He manifests Himself to you,
He breaks the bread with you
and gives you the words of love
so that you may transform them into merciful acts
and, thus, be witnesses of truth.
That is why, my children,
do not be afraid.
Permit my Son to be in you.
He will make use of you
to care for the wounded
and to convert lost souls.
Therefore, my children,
return to the prayer of the Rosary.
Pray it with feelings of goodness, sacrifice and mercy.
Pray, not only with words,
but with merciful acts...
Pray with love for all people.
My Son, by His sacrifice, exalted love.
Therefore, live with Him
so that you may have strength and hope;
that you may have the love which is life
and which leads to eternal life.
Through God's love,
I am also with you,
and will lead you with motherly love.
Thank you.."
Mirjana said that Our Lady was very sad.
Our
Lady has mercy and love for us, because she is one with her Son,
Jesus. She teaches us that same love and mercy, so that we can help
Jesus reach his lost sheep. Let's follow them on the way, finding those
who need the love of God.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
