    Our Key quotes for today’s reflection:
    "Mary is the symbol of the soul in love with God, the soul who gives herself exclusively to Him, consuming for Him all that she is and all that she has. She is the symbol of those souls who give up, in whole or in part, exterior activity, in order to consecrate themselves more fully to the immediate service of God and to devote themselves to a life of more intimate union with Him. This total consecration to the Lord is deemed wasteful by those who fail to understand it-although the same offering, if otherwise employed, would cause no complaint. If everything we are and have is His gift, can it be a waste to sacrifice it in His honor and, by so acting, to repair for the indifference of countless souls who seldom, if ever, think of Him? "
    "Giving alms to the poor is a duty, but the worship and love of God is a higher obligation. If urgent works of charity sometimes require us to leave His service for that of our neighbor, no change in the hierarchy of importance is thereby implied. God must always have the first place. "
    "Judas represents those souls who have received from God graces of predilection, but who prove to be unworthy of them, because of their infidelities. Consecrated souls must, therefore, be very faithful to the grace of their vocation and must not permit the slightest attachment to take root in their hearts."

    Two years ago, I was on my deathbed. I went into hospice due to kidney cancer and had at most about a month to live. I prayed to God and gave myself completely to Him, telling Him I loved him and offered my suffering and life to him. I asked Him “What do you want of me? Please tell me and I will try to do what you want.” Last June I was released from hospice. Now I set aside time everyday for prayer and never regret any moment of any day now. I had to learn to walk again but with God’s grace am doing well. He gave me a miracle of life and am trying to do his will even though I am still trying to figure out what it may be. Thank you for these videos. I really enjoy them and God bless you both.

    Yes, Janelle on what you said about not regretting eternal matters that we put our time and energy in to. I wish I'd had that figured out at a younger age. Too many years that could have looked different. I thank God has allowed me to live long enough to reach my spiritual walk where I am today. Now I need more years for reparations of the earlier years, please God. 🙏🤲🙏❤️‍🔥

    I love the response of Jesus! No wonder Judas betrayed him. His response shows he does not show his awe and worship of Jesus as God.

    God knew the Israelites would betray him & that they would worship other idols/gods but God still gave them everything they needed. He loved them & considered them his chosen people. God does give us ALL THE NECESSARY GRACES but we must say YES to those GRACES also. 🙏🙏🙏

    This is off topic... I love the lighting and the sacred pictures in the background. ❤😊.... I believe you will be blessed for how you bring others to Jesus and Mary. I thank God I found your channel a few years ago. It's my favorite one. I hope one day you will record one of your dinners. Our Deacon talked of Judas yesterday...when Judas first approached Jesus he wanted to be one of the chosen. I read Padre Pio's prayer Stay With Me Lord often. ❤🙏🏽🩷

    I bought a 2 oz of sparknard and anointed my blessed mother Mary statue!! I wish I had more to anoint mother Mary's feet & tiny hands as a loving son!!
    Image the hell mother Mary must have felt like at the passion & death of our lord jesus christ!!
    Men don't understand that a loving mother remembers everything!! 1st words, 1st steps, absolutely everything is stored in a mother's heat!!
    We don't have a clue as to the suffering of blessed Mary at watching jesus christ's passion and death!!
    Ask a woman how they remember absolutely everything about their child & then think about how much pain blessed Mary felt at our lord jesus christ's passion and death!!

    Judas iscariot ... we all betray our Lord when we choose to sin ... we give our consent and Satan enters in .... what surpises me is when Judas declared he had betrayed "innocent blood" and didn't repent but carried on with the momentum to completely destory himself ... ??? .... I struggle to understand why he was unable to apply the breaks ....It's so very sad and hurts my heart for Judas frankly .....

    • @kathywiens9852

      I try to remember that not all who decide to end their lives go to Hell. We do not know their very last split second thoughts, or if they were mentally incompetent. How does God judge a tortured, and mentally anguished soul? We just don't know.
      One of the categories of souls that are included in my daily prayers for deceased souls is those who chose to end their life. I am up to 11 by name and end with saying all those who thought it was the Only Way to put an end to their suffering.
      Something to think about. 🙏🤲🙏💕❤️‍🔥💝

    In the works of Venerable Mary of Agreda called Mystical City of God, Ven. Mary addresses Janelles question.
    The reason why Jesus selected Judas as one of his apostles is because Judas' present state at that time was very pleasing to God. He was a devout man and was actually much holier than the other Apostles.
    And she goes on to mention that his fall started when his devotion to Jesus' Mother Mary was lacking. 😢

    How does one look at the fact that Judas was given the Eucharist at the Last Supper, even though he was doing evil? My husband and I always discuss this when the topic of giving Communion to those in mortal sin comes up. I still don't think one should take it if in mortal sin but others say this example proves Communion should be shared with everyone 🤷‍♀
    What do YOU say?

    It’s truly a mystery. A prophecy that had to be fulfilled yet it’s not like some sort of pre written script where people were predestined to fail or betray. I often wonder what if Judas had said no. I will not betray Jesus. What if Pilate had said no, I will not condemn Jesus. Yet, he had to die for us.

  • @Miguel-lg1rq

    With Judas is like Our Lady in the Annunciation but the opposite. She could have said no and the Incarnation wouldn't have happened. Judas could have changed his mind at last minute and Salvation and Redemption would have probably happened in a different way. That's how God works, He doesn't create robots...

    Also, just to let you know, I always got these just on RUclips. I could just look up on RUclips even though I signed up for you were sending me the email link. I'd always find them on youtube.
    To day was different. RUclips did not have the link on there. I had to go through the email you sent. I'm assuming that's why there's probably less views. And kind in comments because youtube did not send this one out and put it on their site as they usually do. I often can access them through the link in your email. But this time that was the only way I could. I even looked under your RUclips site. And the last one they gave me was Friday. The only way I could get to. This one was through the link from the email. So I just wanted to let you know that maybe. RUclips is treating you differently now

    Judas betrayed Jesus because that was his fate, Judas' mindset; it was part of the Divine Plan. Judas had a free will and he chose to betray Jesus. Judas could have asked for forgiveness, but he did not.
