January 2, 2015 “Dear children, I am here among you as a mother who desires to help you to come to know the truth. While I lived your life on earth I had knowledge of the truth, and by this alone, a piece of Heaven on earth. That is why I desire the same for you, my children. The Heavenly Father desires pure hearts filled with the knowledge of the truth. He desires for you to love all those whom you meet, because I also love my Son in all of you. This is the beginning of coming to know the truth. Many false truths are being offered to you. You will overcome them with a heart cleansed by fasting, prayer, penance and the Gospel. This is the only truth and it is the truth which my Son left you. You do not need to examine it much. What is asked of you, as I also have done, is to love and to give. My children, if you love, your heart will be a home for my Son and me, and the words of my Son will be the guiding light in your life. My children, I will make use of you, apostles of love, to help all of my children to come to know the truth. My children, I have always prayed for the Church of my Son, and so I also ask the same of you. Pray that your shepherds may come to shine forth with the love of my Son. Thank you.”
Resolution:
Today, together with Mary, let us pray for the Spirit of Truth.
Jesus is the Truth. Mary teaches us the same truth we find in the Gospel. Her greatest desire is to lead us to Him, so that we may come to know His love. And this is the truth: that we are loved, just as we are—that He accepts us completely. Through this love, He enables us to accept and love ourselves and others.
Mary, with you we ask for the Spirit of Truth. May He help us to believe that we are loved and created for love. May He guide us with this knowledge. Help us to recognize and reject all lies and half-truths—about ourselves and about others.
Thank you, Mary, for teaching us that when we love with God’s love, we remain rooted in the truth.
Come, Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well-beloved spouse! (3x)
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
