Corrine, Saturday Parag 14 &16

Saturday, Paragraphs 14-16
#14 God is not dependent on any creature to carry out His will but God chose Mary out of His love for her, so as to bring about His plan of salvation through Jesus. God is so full of love…He just has to share it. He even didn’t need us….but out of love He made us.
#16 Necessity is not absolute…but hypothetical………Mary’s necessity to God in the Incarnation of the Word: St. Augustine said the world was unworthy to receive the Son of God directly from the Father. The Father gave Jesus to Mary so the world might receive Him through her. And this only happened because of her “yes”….Mary who was so full of grace. And now the Father has been allowing Mary to appear to people in our world….she is trying to get us on the right track because she loves us so much. This following is from a reflection I received online….
Our Lady, so full of the Holy Spirit, is moved constantly to bless us. She sees every need, every loneliness, every sorrow and every joy. From her Heart flow countless blessings for us! We can become hearts that flow with living water as well! Through prayer and the practice of love, we can be part of the river of blessings that God wants to send out upon the earth. We only need to be open, silent and prayerful. God will do the rest! Our Lady of Medjugorje has come to bless the world. Thank you, dear Mother, for blessing us! We say 'yes' to your blessing! May we bless in turn all those God sends our way each day.

So…as a part of our internal silence….we can bless people instead of judging them or whatever else we may be thinking.

Peace be with you all!
