10/28/2913 (Monday) - I Give You Strength (By: Richard J. Beyer) In this message to the prayer group, the Blessed Virgin speaks of giving strength: Dear Children, your Mother loves you all. Im happy to see you here, dear Children. I give you love and ask you to give this love to others. Be peacemakers and help others to change their lives. I give you strength, dear Children. With this strength, you can bear anything. May this strength make you strong in all things. Because you need it, I give you strength. Th Prophet Isaiah also promises strength to Gods people: (Isaiah 40:29-31) He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but hose who wait for the Lord will renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Reflection: Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) was one of the great pastors and scholars of the Catholic Church in England. His writings included this prayer for strength: May the Lord strengthen us all the day long. Till the shades lengthen and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then in His Mercy may He give us a Safe Lodging, a Holy Rest, and Peace at the last. Amen. One of the blessings of our faith is that we need not rely solely on our own strength, for we have an inexhaustible reservoir in God Himself. Further, as Our Lady say today, we are urged to draw from this reservoir whenever we are in need. Application: With this strength, the Virgin says, you can bear anything, Today, commit to memory the promise that when we are in need, the strength of Christ and Our Lady is available for asking. (We ask this in Jesus Name...Amen.)
