What is born of spirit is spirit!
April 17, 2023
Dear Family of Mary!
The Gospel for today:
There
was a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. He came to Jesus
at night and said to him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has
come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless
God is with him.”
Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born from above, he cannot see the Kingdom of God.”
Nicodemus
said to him, “How can a man once grown old be born again? Surely he
cannot reenter his mother’s womb and be born again, can he?”
Jesus
answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless one is born of water and
Spirit he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. What is born of flesh is
flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told
you, ‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and
you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from
or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:1-8)
This
scripture moves us into the six weeks of preparation for Pentecost! We
will be taught by Jesus about the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy
Spirit!! And we will be prepared to receive an outpouring of that
Spirit in our lives that can bring awesome changes to us!
I
am reminded of the word I received a while ago about our imaginations
and how they are a faculty of our soul, given to us to be open to the
realities of God and Heaven! We are given our imaginations so that God
can speak to us and show us things beyond our physical reality, the
things of the Spirit, the things of Heaven.
But
to receive these beautiful gifts we need to pray to the Holy Spirit!
He will come and show us the wonders of God's love in ways we would
never have dreamed possible! We need the Holy Spirit!! Really it is
like being born from above!
Our Lady told us:

"Dear children!
Tonight
I wish to tell you during the days of this Novena to pray for the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit on your families and on your parish.
Pray, and you shall not regret it.
God will give you gifts by which you will glorify Him till the end of your life on this earth.
Thank you for having responded to my call."
Are you ready for this outpouring? Let's do it!!
God bless you and keep you!!
