Sister Lucia's concluding chapters, (cont'd.)

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

As mentioned previously, the final chapters in the last book Sister Lucia of Fatima wrote before her death, she wrote about the Commandments and the Mysteries of the Rosary. In Chapter 23 Sister wrote of God’s giving the Commandments to Moses and she sees the Church carrying on with these same commandments. Sister Lucia wrote:

“And let us not waver, or move away from the Church when we see imperfections in some of her members, because individually, we are all sinful…But the Church does not cease to be holy…holy in her laws and in the doctrine entrusted to her by God, holy in her Head, Jesus Christ, her divine Founder and Savior, holy in the Divine Spirit which animates and helps her in the life of grace, generated and nourished by the Sacraments…"

It seems to me that Mary in all her apparitions, encourages her children as she did the servants at Cana with the words: “Do whatever He tells you”. As Mary herself pondered all that Jesus said and did, so must we. We need to keep listening to Jesus in His Word and praying and trusting that as Jesus promised the Holy Spirit will bring us int all Truth. Like Mary we listen, and by His Grace, do the Truth we hear.

Let us pray the Rosary today with greater attention and devotion as we gaze on Jesus, with Mary.
Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us.
Jesus, we trust in You.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Your Faithful. Kindle in us the Fire of Your Love.
