Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On this “Thanksgiving Day” in the USA, each of us, needs to be thankful for all the Lord has given to us individually and as a country. We are in very difficult times, yet, by the Supernatural Faith, Hope and Charity, we were given in our Baptism, we can, by His continual grace, stand firm in Him until the end of our lives.

In His Great Love God has given us more than we could have asked for, He gave us His Life, come to us in Jesus through Mary. St. Louis de Montfort, was given grace to share this with us in writing “True Devotion”:
  1. Why do you think our Lord spent only a few years here on earth and nearly all of them in submission and obedience to His Mother? The reason is that “attaining perfection in a short time, He lived a long time”, even longer than Adam, whose losses He had come to make good. Yet Adam lived more than nine hundred years!
Jesus lived a long time, because He lived in complete submission to His Mother and in union with her, which obedience to His Father required. The Holy Spirit tells us that the man who honors His mother is like a man who stores up a treasure. In other words, the man who honours Mary, His Mother, to the extent of subjecting himself to her and obeying her in all things will soon become very rich, because he is amassing riches every day through Mary who has become his secret philosopher’s stone.

There is another quotation from Holy Scripture, “My old age will be found in the mercy of the bosom”. According to the mystical interpretation of these words it is in the bosom of Mary that people who are young grow mature in enlightenment, in holiness, in experience and in wisdom, and in a short time reach the fullness of the age of Christ. For it was Mary’s womb which encompassed and produced a perfect man. That same womb held the one whom the whole universe can neither encompass nor contain.

Thank You, Lord, for sending Jesus through Maryby the power of the Holy Spirit! Thank You Jesus for Your Life, Death, Resurrection, Ascension and with the Father sending Your Holy Spirit upon the Church.

We can never thank you enough, but by your grace, and the intercession of Mary and all the Saints and Angels in Heaven, let us thank You today, especially through Mary, and continue to thank and praise and love You for all eternity. Amen.

Dear Jen7,

Thanks for your heart – how approriate that word “thanks” is today on this National Day of Thanksgiving in the USA!

Although my first thought is thanking God, I also thank my Mother and Dad (now deceased) and all my Brothers and Sisters in Christ as well. I’m sorry we did not get to know one another sooner, Jen. but as the saying goes - “better late than never”.

It was a surprise to read that CAF will end on Dec. 31. It is something I had not expected but as happens in life on this earth – I believe God can and does often “surprise” us!

Quoting from St. Louis de Montfort’s treatise on “True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin” has been a blessing for me – even though I have read his little book many times. Just taking a few or sometimes - just one paragraph a day - has enabled me to ponder God’s Wisdom in de Montfort’s words more than ever before, and that of course is due to God’s Grace.

I had hoped to finish quoting all of it, but that is impossible by Dec. 31 so I hope those who want to continue learning more will either read the online version or purchase a paperback copy. I hope you will decide to read the book, Jen, slowly and prayerfully and come closer and closer to Jesus through Mary.

Happy and Holy Thanksgiving today and a very blessed approach into the Holy season of Advent this coming Sunday!

Please give the Thanksgiving picture to the fallout.
 
Dear toddy,

Sorry I didn’t have time to write a reply but only to give you a “heart” last night. To tell you the truth I was really tired and wanted to pray before I fell asleep. I did manage to pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy before falling asleep – so again – I cannot thank God enough for all His Mercy on me.

I did not have a chance to give the picture as you requested, but I shall do so today. I didn’t really think I needed to give it right way because you had already sent it to me and others, some of whom may be as you said, a “fallout”. Only by God’s Grace can we come to Him and by His Grace “remain in Jesus” as the Gospel of John so often reminds us. It was John who stood beneath the Cross with Mary and learned from her as she learned from Jesus.

Pope St. John Paul II was inspired to say truly to the Legion of Mary in 1982:
"…Where the Mother is, there too is the Son. When one moves away from the Mother, sooner or later he ends up keeping distant from the Son as well. It is no wonder that today, in various sectors of secularised society, we note a widespread crisis of faith in God, preceded by a drop in devotion to the Virgin Mother…"

Devotion to the rosary is top priority.

Few more inspiration pictures just completed today. Can not post to the evangelization category!

First step to keep a fallout to remember the Lord and this makes he/she feel great to make sacramental bread and wine like the priest, later he/she will know the difference.

Please pass them to others and the fallouts.

My mistake. I mean “Church dropouts, no longer churchgoers for months, years or decades”.

These are the biblical words to describe godhood. Best art I have made.
[Loyalty is loyal and obedience to God. The Spirit does not require many others.]

Please give all the pictures to the dropouts of the church.

Dear toddy,

Perhaps, pictures can help, or words to those who have left the Catholic Faith, but there is also a great need to pray for them to return to the Faith they were given in Baptism. It is painful for many of us to see younger members of our natural families drifting away as well as those of our Catholic Church family who may be dead in sin or sick and disillusioned by all the confusion and mediocrity they find all around them.

Prayer is so important – let us beg God for His Mercy through Mary, the Mother of Mercy. Our own witness is also very important. Let us beg God to help us also, by His Divine Mercy to grow in holiness and thus bring Him to others as Our Mother Mary did on this earth and continues to do from heaven.

Thanks for your replies and efforts to bring back the lost and wandering sheep of Christ’s Fold.

I cry for the dropouts! Many of them have departed because of the hypocritical, they got hurt, not their faults! They fell into the trap of evils instead of running to another church.

Holy Spirit will bring them back.
