Illuminate My Soul, Oh Lord, Source of All Grace

Message of February 02, 2012
"Dear children; I am with you for so much time and already for so long I have been pointing you to God's presence and His infinite love, which I desire for all of you to come to know. And you, my children? You continue to be deaf and blind as you look at the world around you and do not want to see where it is going without my Son. You are renouncing Him - and He is the source of all graces. You listen to me while I am speaking to you, but your hearts are closed and you are not hearing me. You are not praying to the Holy Spirit to illuminate you. My children, pride has come to rule. I am pointing out humility to you. My children, remember that only a humble soul shines with purity and beauty because it has come to know the love of God. Only a humble soul becomes heaven, because my Son is in it. Thank you. Again I implore you to pray for those whom my Son has chosen - those are your shepherds."~ BVM Medjugorje02/02/2012

 Then David spoke to Saul: “My lord should not lose heart. Let your servant go and fight this Philistine.” But Saul answered David, “You cannot go up against this Philistine and fight with him, for you are only a youth, while he has been a warrior from his youth.” .... 

But David continued: “The same LORD who delivered me from the claws of the lion and the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.” Saul answered David, “Go! the LORD will be with you.”.............

Then, staff in hand, David selected five smooth stones from the wadi and put them in the pocket of his shepherd’s bag. With his sling in hand, he approached the Philistine.  

...As the Philistine approached David, he looked down on him and said, “Am I a dog that you come against me with a staff?”

 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall. ~ Proverbs 16:18

.. David answered him: “You come against me with sword and spear and scimitar, but I come against you in the name of the LORD of hosts...For the battle belongs to the LORD.......Adapted from 1 Samuel, Chapter 17

 With God, my friends, we can do anything. Without God we will easily get distracted, we loose our way.

Our Lady has given us five stones they are: 

The Rosary

Fasting on Wednesday and Friday

Daily Reading of the Bible

Monthly Confession

 Holy Communion

As I read Our Lady's message, the old classic Gospel lyrics come to mind:

Humble thyself in the sight of the Lord.

And He will lift you up, higher and higher.

And He will lift you up, up into heaven.

And He will lift you up.  ~ Bob Hudson

May we all choose to be lifted up.Go!the LORD will be with you.....
