More prayer with the heart!



More prayer with the heart!

May 29, 2024
Dear Family of Mary!

Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to prayer with the heart… (May 25, 2024)

Here is another set of messages about prayer with the heart. It is good to take time with each message and let Our Lady’s words sink deeply into our hearts. She has a way of saying things that is personal and individual! The truth she speaks is simple and pure! We will be blessed if we take her words to heart!!

April 25, 1987 “Dear children! Today also I am calling you to prayer. You know, dear children, that God grants special graces in prayer. Therefore, seek and pray in order that you may be able to comprehend all that I am giving here. I call you, dear children, to prayer with the heart. You know that without prayer you cannot comprehend all that God is planning through each one of you. Therefore, pray! I desire that through each one of you God’s plan may be fulfilled, that all which God has planted in your heart may keep on growing. So pray that God’s blessing may protect each one of you from all the evil that is threatening you. I bless you, dear children… Thank you for having responded to my call.”

April 25, 1991 “Dear children! Today I invite you all so that your prayer be prayer with the heart. Let each of you find time for prayer so that in prayer you discover God. I do not desire you to talk about prayer, but to pray. Let your everyday be filled with prayer of gratitude to God for life and for all that you have. I do not desire your life to pass by in words but that you glorify God with deeds. I am with you and I am grateful to God for every moment spent with you. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

July 25, 1997 “Dear children! Today I invite you to respond to my call to prayer. I desire, dear children, that during this time you find a corner for personal prayer. I desire to lead you towards prayer with the heart. Only in this way will you comprehend that your life is empty without prayer. You will discover the meaning of your life when you discover God in prayer. That is why, little children, open the door of your heart and you will comprehend that prayer is joy without which you cannot live. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

March 25, 1999 “Dear children! I call you to prayer with the heart. In a special way, little children, I call you to pray for conversion of sinners, for those who pierce my heart and the heart of my Son Jesus with the sword of hatred and daily blasphemies. Let us pray, little children, for all those who do not desire to come to know the love of God, even though they are in the Church. Let us pray that they convert, so that the Church may resurrect in love. Only with love and prayer, little children, can you live this time which is given to you for conversion. Place God in the first place, then the risen Jesus will become your friend. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

July 25, 1999 “Dear children! Also today I rejoice with you and I call you all to prayer with the heart. I call all of you, little children, to give thanks to God here with me for the graces which He gives to you through me. I desire for you to comprehend that I want to realize here, not only a place of prayer but also a meeting of hearts. I desire for my, Jesus’ and your heart to become one heart of love and peace. That is why, little children, pray and rejoice over everything that God does here, despite that satan provokes quarrels and unrest. I am with you and I lead you all on the way of love. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Prayer with the heart!

May 28, 2024
Dear Family of Mary!

Dear children! In this time of grace, I am calling you to prayer with the heart… (May 25, 2024)

Our Lady calls us to prayer with the heart! I am gathering some of her messages about prayer with the heart for us to meditate upon. Let her call to us grow into a deep longing! May we desire prayer with the heart. It is the way to union with God!!
Here are five messages for today:

August 11, 1984 (Saturday) “Dear children! Pray, because satan wishes to complicate my plans still further. Pray with the heart and surrender yourselves to Jesus in prayer.”

September 20, 1984 “Dear children! Today I call on you to begin fasting with the heart. There are many people who are fasting, but only because everyone else is fasting. It has become a custom which no one wants to stop. I ask the parish to fast out of gratitude because God has allowed me to stay this long in this parish. Dear children, fast and pray with the heart. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

May 30, 1985 “Dear children! I call you again to prayer with the heart. Let prayer, dear children, be your everyday food in a special way when your work in the fields is so wearing you out that you cannot pray with the heart. Pray, and then you shall overcome even every weariness. Prayer will be your joy and your rest. Thank you for having responded to my call…”

January 23, 1986 “Dear children! Again I call you to prayer with the heart. If you pray with the heart, dear children, the ice of your brothers will melt and every barrier shall disappear. Conversion will be easy for all who desire to accept it. That is the gift which by prayer you must obtain for your neighbor. Thank you for having responded to my call.”

October 25, 1989 “Dear children! Today also I am inviting you to prayer. I am always inviting you, but you are still far away. Therefore, from today, decide seriously to dedicate time to God. I am with you and I wish to teach you to pray with the heart. In prayer with the heart you shall encounter God. Therefore, little children, pray, pray, pray! Thank you for having responded to my call.”

Let the Holy Spirit speak to your hearts!

May 27, 2024

Dear Family of Mary!

Here again is the message for May 25, 2024 from Our Lady of Medjugorje! But I will parse it out so we can slowly pray through the message. The Holy Spirit wants to speak to our hearts through this message. Let’s take time with it, each one of us, to see what God is saying to us in our hearts!

Dear children!

In this time of grace,

I am calling you

to prayer with the heart.

Little children,

create prayer groups

where you will encourage each other to the good

and grow in joy.

Little children,

you are still far away.

That is why

continue to convert anew

and choose the way of holiness and hope

so that God may give you peace in abundance.

Thank you for having responded to my call.

Thank you, dearest Mother, for your messages!

May 24, 2024
Dear Family of Mary!
Tomorrow we anticipate a new message from Our Lady! Her messages are truly life changing for us! And so, with gratitude let’s take another look at her last message to us, given on April 25, 2024. May her words continue to illuminate our hearts with the grace they contain.
Our Lady’s message for April 25, 2024:

Dear children! I am with you to tell you that I love you and to encourage you to prayer; because Satan is strong and every day his strength is stronger through those who have chosen death and hatred. You, little children, be prayer and my extended hands of love for all those who are in darkness and seek the light of our God. Thank you for having responded to my call. ( April 25, 2024 )

A few pieces came into my inbox over the past couple of weeks around organ donation and transplantation that caught my attention. While we don’t often write about this topic, it is within our concern of medical ethics as it relates to new technologies and developments in medicine. I’ve always been both fascinated and concerned about medical ethics in this domain. In my nursing days, I worked in university hospitals that did pediatric transplants (heart, kidney, liver, and bone marrow) so I very clearly saw the pros and cons of transplantation medicine as these issues were in front of us daily.

The first story in my inbox was a report about a woman who is the second person to receive a genetically modified pig kidney transplant. She had suffered from several heart attacks, years of diabetes, and was in kidney failure requiring dialysis just to keep her alive. Because of her serious health issues, she was deemed not to be a suitable candidate for a human organ transplant. Receiving a genetically modified pig kidney seemed to be her only chance of survival and she told herself, “You know what? I’m going to do it. I have to do it – for myself and for the rest of my family.” The previous report of such a transplant was in a 62 year old man. He was in end stage kidney failure when he received his genetically modified pig kidney.

Our Paul Ramsey Institute Fellows Are Changing the World

We founded the Paul Ramsey Institute in 2012 to build a training program for leadership in bioethics. Our alumni are truly changing the world, asking questions about what it means to be human, and how to maintain our humanity as medical technologies rapidly change. PRI fellow Matthew Rose published in First Things about the “Suicide of the Radical Right,” last month. He is also the director of the Barry Center at the Morningside Institute, which guides scholars in courageous academic research.

In March, two PRI alumni, Brewer Eberly and Ben Frush, published in Mere Orthodoxy, “Teach Us to Number Our Days: Health Anxiety and Faithful Anticipation”. Eberly and Frush are both clinicians, writing about how the current medical care system compromises the chance of dying in integrity with our values.

Our PRI Alumni do so much to advance the conversation around bioethics worldwide. At our annual Paul Ramsey Award Dinner, we gather to honor their work. This year’s Ramsey Fellow, Dr. Jeffrey Bishop will present, and we’ll also hear from our keynote speaker, Riley Gaines. We have just a handful of tickets remaining for the PRI Dinner, so make sure to reserve one for you and any guests as soon as you can!

Afraid to Be Female

Kallie Fell and Jennifer Lahl recently contributed to Fairer Disputations. Here’s an excerpt:
Why are our adolescent girls believing that they were born in the wrong body? Why is transgender identification trending higher and higher among adolescent girls? And why are these girls being rushed into medical transition?

These questions cannot be answered without listening to the stories of female detransitioners and desisters (those who transitioned socially, but not medically, and then reverted). To prevent more children from being harmed, we must try to understand why so many young girls believe that they are transgender.

In the stories shared in our new book, The Detransition Diaries, we see three interwoven yet distinct themes: untreated mental health concerns and related trauma (including sexual abuse), peer or social contagion, and fear of being female.

In this essay, we will focus on that last component: the fear of being female.         Read the Full Article

Blessed are the poor in spirit…

May 23, 2024

Dear Family of Mary!

The Psalm Response for Holy Mass today is from the Gospel of Matthew:

Mt 5:3: Blessed are the poor in spirit; the Kingdom of heaven is theirs!

This is the first beatitude in Jesus’ list in Matthew 5! It must be the most important! But it might be difficult to describe this beatitude.

I found this definition on LifeTeen.com, which is a Catholic website for teens. It is a good one, I think:

“Now, the phrase ‘poor in spirit’ speaks to an even deeper reality … beyond physical poverty … but to true spiritual poverty. To be poor in spirit means to acknowledge our deepest human need for God and to grow in that longing and that dependence on a daily basis. It’s only when we realize how badly we need God and how we are nothing without Him that we become worthy of the Kingdom He promises us (Matthew 5:3); when we realize we are the beggars, our gratitude to the Giver (of life) becomes that much greater.” (LifeTeen.com)

This radical dependence upon God is the key to joy and peace! Because He is the true source of all good!

Our Lady has spoken to us about this radical dependence upon God often in her messages. Here is one message:

March 18, 2016

“Dear children,

with a motherly heart

filled with love for you, my children,

I desire to teach you complete trust in God the Father.

I desire for you to learn

by an internal gaze

and internal listening

to follow God’s will.

I desire for you to learn

to boundlessly trust in His mercy and His love,

as I always trusted.

Therefore, my children,

cleanse your hearts.

Free yourselves from everything

that binds you to only what is earthly

and permit what is of God to form your life

by your prayer and sacrifice

so that God’s Kingdom may be in your heart;

that you may begin to live proceeding from God the Father;

that you may always strive to walk with my Son.

But for all of this, my children,

you must be poor in spirit

and filled with love and mercy…

You must have pure and simple hearts

and always be ready to serve.

My children, listen to me,

I speak for your salvation.

Thank you.”

Thank you, dearest Mother, for so gently guiding us into a relationship with the Father in which our littleness and poverty of spirit will keep us close to Him. May we grow more every day as His little ones who are poor in spirit!

In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
