Ask and it will be given to you
March 13, 2025
Dear Family of Mary
This is the Gospel for today:
Matthew 7:7-12
Jesus
said to his disciples: “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who
asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks,
the door will be opened. Which one of you would hand his son a stone
when he asked for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asked for a fish?
If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to
those who ask him.
“Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law
and the prophets.” The Gospel of the Lord.
How comforting it
is to know that we can simply ask the Lord for what we need, seek it
from Him, and we will find it, and knock on His door and He will open it
to us. The Lord is not far off, aloof, and indifferent. He is ready
to help us at all times. Denis and I have experienced God's great love
over the past week. In the face of a serious illness, Jesus has
surrounded us with wonderful doctors and health care workers, and with
incredibly loving family and friends, including all of you shipmates!
We have experienced the love of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit,
through all of you!
Thank you!!
Our Lady also taught us about asking for what we need from Jesus, in this message:
Thursday, December 1, 1983
"Thanks
to all of you who have come here, so numerous during this year, in
spite of snow, ice and bad weather, to pray to Jesus. Continue, hold on
in your suffering. You know well that when a friend asks you for
something, you give it to him. It is thus with Jesus. When you pray
without ceasing, and you come in spite of your fatigue, He will give you
all that you ask from Him. For that, pray."
This message is very consoling! We have a God who
loves us. And Our Lady is so happy that we come to pray with her even
when it is difficult. Let's continue to pray for her intentions in the
midst of our difficulties.
What more do we need? Jesus has given us far more than we could have asked for in this difficult time.
Denis has a long road to recovery, and so we ask you
to be patient with us. We probably will not be able to do the Daily
Rosary or Divine Mercy for a few more days. So pray for us some more! I
will send out more news as I can. Know that we are praying for all of
you, offering this up for all of you and for Our Lady's plan to be
fulfilled.
More info to come!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
