St. John of God
Dear Family of Mary!
February 25, 2023 ...Follow Him towards Calvary in renunciation and fasting.
In
this message, Our Lady calls us to renunciation and fasting. She has
called us to this kind of penance many times. Do we really respond to
this call? I believe that Our Lady has asked us to fast and renounce
certain things because she knows how powerful such selfless acts can be
in spiritual warfare. She wants us to be strong, protected and ready for
battle. And renunciation and fasting are essential for that
strengthening. At any rate, she has mentioned it in her messages many
times.
Here
are five messages in which Our Lady called us to renunciation and
fasting. Let's meditate on them during our rosaries today, so that we
may be renewed in our desire to practice them:
September
25, 1991 "Dear children! Today in a special way I invite you all to
prayer and renunciation. For now as never before satan wants to show the
world his shameful face by which he wants to seduce as many people as
possible onto the way of death and sin. Therefore, dear children, help
my Immaculate Heart to triumph in the sinful world. I beseech all of you
to offer prayers and sacrifices for my intentions so I can present them
to God for what is most necessary. Forget your desires, dear children,
and pray for what God desires, and not for what you desire. Thank you
for having responded to my call."
February
25, 1998 "Dear children! Also today I am with you and I, again, call
all of you to come closer to me through your prayers. In a special way, I
call you to renunciation in this time of grace. Little children,
meditate on and live, through your little sacrifices, the passion and
death of Jesus for each of you. Only if you come closer to Jesus will
you comprehend the immeasurable love He has for each of you. Through
prayer and your renunciation you will become more open to the gift of
faith and love towards the Church and the people who are around you. I
love you and bless you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
March
25, 1998 "Dear children! Also today I call you to fasting and
renunciation. Little children, renounce that which hinders you from
being closer to Jesus. In a special way I call you: Pray, because only
through prayer will you be able to overcome your will and discover the
will of God even in the smallest things. By your daily life, little
children, you will become an example and witness that you live for Jesus
or against Him and His will. Little children, I desire that you become
apostles of love. By loving, little children, it will be recognized that
you are mine. Thank you for having responded to my call."
July
25, 2005 "Dear children! Also today, I call you to fill your day with
short and ardent prayers. When you pray, your heart is open and God
loves you with a special love and gives you special graces. Therefore,
make good use of this time of grace and devote it to God more than ever
up to now. Do novenas of fasting and renunciation so that satan be far
from you and grace be around you. I am near you and intercede before God
for each of you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
February
25, 2006 "Dear children! In this Lenten time of grace, I call you to
open your hearts to the gifts that God desires to give you. Do not be
closed, but with prayer and renunciation say 'yes' to God and He will
give to you in abundance. As in springtime the earth opens to the seed
and yields a hundredfold, so also your heavenly Father will give to you
in abundance. I am with you and love you, little children, with a tender
love. Thank you for having responded to my call."
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
