Choose Life!
February 23, 2023
Dear Family of Mary!
Deuteronomy: 30:15-20
Moses said to the
people: “Today I have set before you life and prosperity, death and
doom. If you obey the commandments of the Lord, your God, which I enjoin
on you today, loving him, and walking in his ways, and keeping his
commandments, statutes and decrees, you will live and grow numerous, and
the Lord, your God, will bless you in the land you are entering to
occupy.
If,
however, you turn away your hearts and will not listen, but are led
astray and adore and serve other gods, I tell you now that you will
certainly perish; you will not have a long life on the land that you are
crossing the Jordan to enter and occupy.
I
call heaven and earth today to witness against you: I have set before
you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life, then, that
you and your descendants may live, by loving the Lord, your God, heeding
his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you, a
long life for you to live on the land that the Lord swore he would give
to your fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.” (the first reading at Mass
today)
God
always gives us a choice. He created us with free will. It is what
makes us able to commune with Him, because we have souls, and minds, and
wills that are free. Love can operate in such a being. And God made us
to love Him and receive His love.
But
Adam and Eve fell, and chose to not trust God but rather go another
way. And hence, we all face the consequences. We so often choose
wrongly. But God does not give up on us! Jesus came to us to show us the
truth and guide us back to the Father. And now Mary is here with us to
help us to find and follow Jesus! Heaven will not be outdone in mercy!
Our Lady said to us:

"Dear children!
Particularly at this holy time
of penance and prayer,
I call you to make a choice.
God gave you free will
to choose life or death.
Listen to my messages with the heart
that you may become cognizant
of what you are to do
and how you will find the way to life.
My children,
without God you can do nothing;
do not forget this even for a single moment.
For, what are you and what will you be on earth,
when you will return to it again.
Do not anger God,
but follow me to life.
Thank you for being here."
Choose life! By loving the Lord your God with all your heart!!!!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
