Our Lady's March 25, 2014 Medjugorje Message Given to Marija

“Dear children! I am calling you anew: begin the battle against sin as in the first days, go to confession and decide for holiness. The love of God will begin to flow through you into the world, peace will begin to rule in your hearts and God's blessing will fill you. I am with you and intercede for all of you before my Son Jesus. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Lent is Fast Approaching - ASH WEDNESDAY

Lent will be here on Wednesday - Ash Wednesday. My husband and I were joking around about starting to eat better during lent, so of course we went straight for the ice cream and chips last night... contemplating not eating them in a couple days. Tomorrow is Fat Tuesday, hmmmmm......

During Lent this year our parish started a book retreat called "33 Days to Morning Glory". A wonderful book by Fr. Michael Gaitley that brings us to Jesus through His Blessed Mother Mary.

Lent is not only a time to "give up" something, but it can and should be a time to do more.

Quick review of Lenten practice on Conversion and Penance (from catholicity.com) ~

Forms of Penance (1434)

Interior penance is best expressed externally in three forms:
  1. Toward oneself by fasting
  2. Toward God by prayer
  3. Toward our neighbor by almsgiving
There also should be tears, reconciliation with others, concern for other's salvation, intercession of the saints, and charity "which covers a multitude of sins" (1 Pet 4:8).

"Dear children, I am coming to you as a mother and I desire that in me, as in a mother, you may find your abode, consolation and rest. Therefore, my children, apostles of my love, pray. Pray with humble devotion, obedience and complete trust in the Heavenly Father. Trust as I have trusted when it was said to me that I will bring the blessing of the promise. May out of your hearts, from your lips, always come forth “May your will be done!” Therefore, trust and pray so that I can intercede for you before the Lord, for him to give you the Heavenly Blessing and fill you with the Holy Spirit. Then he will be able to help all those who do not know the Lord – you, apostles of my love, will help them to call him “Father” with complete trust. Pray for your shepherds and place your trust in their blessed hands. Thank you. "
