I really want to love her more tomorrow than today!

Dear Family of
Mary!
"Dear children!
Again today I invite you to live the passion of Jesus in prayer, and in union
with Him. Decide to give more time to God who gave you these days of grace.
Therefore, dear children, pray and in a special way renew the love for Jesus for
in your hearts. I am with you and I accompany you with my blessing any my
prayers. Thank you for having responded to my call." (March 25,
1991)
Today is
Monday of Holy Week. We will accompany Jesus on His way to Calvary. I wanted to
share with you the transcript of the testimony of Michelle from Hong Kong, given
to Mary TV several years ago in Medjugorje, and aired last week on
"Fruit of Medjugorje, Episode 59. Michelle glows with the love
of Our Lady, and her words are pure and simple. You can still see this testimony
on our webpage today, on the home page. After tonight, it will be in the
archives. Let's be inspired by Michelle's testimony as we enter Holy Week!
Michelle from
Hong Kong (Fruit of Medjugorje Episode 59):
Well
Medjugorje is my home. I feel at home here in Medjugorje. After my first visit
my prayer life changed. I love the Eucharist. I love the Daily Mass, and I don't
know why, because I had tried to love it before, but I could not. But after I
came back from Medjugorje I found Jesus was so real, because of Mother
Mary...
And then
my family changed. My husband converted and he was baptized just eight months
after I returned. So I said, "I need to come back. At least I need to say, thank
you!" And wondrous things keep on changing in my life. Changing everybody around
me. And I see so many people with a joyful heart and peaceful heart coming back
to Hong Kong, so I keep on coming.
The
first time I came I started to try to pray as she wants it. And I could not do
it at first, but when I got back home I really could feel the peace, and I
didn't need to say, "Oh I need this or I need that...I didn't need to mention so
many questions. Now when I stand before her, I just feel that she knows
everything. Even when I don't know something, she knows it. And it just makes me
stop with my mouth shut! And she knows everything!!
So my
prayer life changed, and I can really just sit in the chapel for hours and hours
of Adoration...I remember once I adored Jesus for the whole day. It was really
wonderful.
For
myself, I think there are many things that she knows that I don't know about God
and about other people's lives, though I know that so many people are suffering.
She came just to give some simple messages. Just to pray, to listen, to live.
They are so simple that you can start at any moment of your life. So I believe
she is really here....in my heart, beside me.
The
importance of prayer is that it keeps the relationship with God. We are really
living on earth, and so many people are talking to us, and if we don't spend
time to let God talk to us, our relationship will be cut off. And if this
relationship is cut off, we will never remember the peace we need, why we are
born on this earth. We will forget about each other's life, and what we have
done on earth will really destroy our salvation.
I pray
to Our Lady directly because I feel she has such abundant love that if I have
done something that really offended Jesus, Our Lady will turn my words into good
words, like a filter. She knows and she will teach me "No, No, don't talk like
this...speak more for Jesus..." And so because of what she taught me, I said I
better stick around with people who really love me and can help me to be more
near to Jesus.
The
greatest suffering that I brought here the first time I came to Medjugorje was
the conversion of my husband, because he was very cool, and he never believed in
God. And I said to Mary, "I came here and I want to bring graces back, not only
for myself, but for my family, especially for my husband." And I didn't know
what she was going to give me. But when I returned and I saw his changes, and
when he was baptized, I really cried with joy. Because I did nothing. But of
course I had to endure a lot, I needed to be patient, to listen, and not be too
preachy. But she will give me the strength, because Our Lady said that we can
never comprehend what is God's plan for us. So we just have to live as simply
and purely as she wants us to. So I tried with the little things, instead of
trying to do great jobs. I tried to love him [my husband] more, to love him as
much as I could.
And the
method I used was fasting for him. I learned fasting from the tapes of Sr.
Emmanuel, and I listened to the testimonies. It was so simple! I just have to
eat bread and water and somebody is going to be changed! So I started, it was so
easy to start! Because I had a target. I just had bread and water. It was very,
very joyful.
But then
after many months, something changed. I said it was boring. My husband is
converted! Did I really need to keep on fasting? But then when I met so many
poor people, I mean not only poor in their living, but poor in their hearts,
they really are suffering. But you really can't help them. You can't help them
with any materials, even though you might say words to comfort them, but they
are asking for more. So the best source is from Jesus. So then I remembered that
the best way is to fast. And I didn't know which people my fasting could give
graces to, but I remembered that Our Lady said that she would collect all these
sacrifices and offer them to Jesus, and Jesus will hand them to those who are
really in need of these sacrifices. So this keeps on giving me strength.
Wednesday comes...Oh Wednesday, I need to fast! So I try to fast together with
my husband, I try to fast together with my community, and it makes the road
easier.
I love
Our Lady. I love her so much! I really want to love her more tomorrow than
today! (Fruit of Medjugorje, Episode 59, March 18, 2013 at www.marytv.tv )
Today Our Lady will give a
message for the 25th of the month, through Marija. I will send it out as the
reflection for Tuesday!
God bless you all. Let's
pray for each other during Holy Week. As Michelle said, it is easier when we
pray and fast together as a community!
In Jesus, Mary and
Joseph!
