  • Are you feeling poor and overwhelmed? Do you find yourself feeling empty and lacking at times?
    This poverty can be the next place of your encounter with the living God.
    Today, Sister Mary Grace explains how your our weaknesses and shortcomings can be the very places where we experience God's power and love. Embrace your dependence on God and allow Him to be with you in those difficult moments. Embrace your reliance on Him and acknowledge that you don't have to do this alone.

    I think it is easy to be self-reliant when we have experienced pain, betrayal, abandonment etc. We foolishly believe that being hyper independent will protect us and will be more safe. But this is a lie.
    We are designed to receive from God and to rely on God ❤
    We are NOT created for solo striving, we are created for constant encounter with Jesus!
    Thank you Sister! What a great reminder - we are NOT designed to be self-reliant.

    In the modern world the operative myth that animates so much of people's perspective is the idea that self-reliance is among the highest of virtues. This is completely inimical to the way God views ones spiritual development. Throughout the Bible, it is when someone is at their lowest point, broken and helpless, that he guides them to be victorious. It is through that crucible, where self-reliance has failed and that individual acknowledges that they need to rely on something higher than themselves, that they realize their fullest potential. Thank you, Sr. Mary, for articulating this truth so beautifully.

    I saw a documentary this pat week on George Washington. I did not know how much he turned to God and prayed. He had his soldiers pray with him for God's guidance and attributed every victory to God's grace. So essentially, those miraculous victories against tyranny were due to diligent prayer and turning to God for guidance and grace.

      @@louislamsc Maybe for me it’s three times daily… 😂😂😂 I’m use to reliance on self and God as my partner… I feel best when others are there where we support each other, build each other up, and then its best as there is a grounding… what I have found in the transitions of life, people scatter and Im left just God and me, though Im thankful for God being there or Id never survive… these times, its trusting in God that Jesus moves me where he needs me to be and I find “my God people” again… I have to say I get jealous of those who have had strong people around them their entire life as if they live in a fortress of love and protection. This has not been the case in my life. Im in a present transition feeling it’s just God and me… these times strengthen faith greatly as once you have been through it once you know you can get through it twice… once through it twice you pray the third time is the last time knowing that just the mere fact of age and limited time would make a fourth time near impossible. God is not to blame. Sinful hearts are to blame which scatter people… thankful Jesus as our Great Shepherd goes out and collects the scattered sheep bringing them once again to green pastures. Often people quote this verse as the lost sheep being the sinful one led astray but really I have found that the wolf comes in sheeps clothing scattering the sheep- and often those scattered are damaged and hurt greatly by sinful people within the church who did the scattering… Jesus never leaves us scattered as each of us continues to seek His voice and follow His lead. Very thankful for this truth! ❤️‍🩹🙏❤️

    A profoundly important message, thank you, I wish it had not taken me to feel completely broken before I said, your will be done, not mine, and my life thereafter was transformed beyond all recognition and beyond my wildest hopes, please don't wait to to be broken before you turn to God, hand it over to him and stop believing you can do it all On your own 💗

    Thank you for this video. I unexpectedly lost my job for the second time after much prayer and novena masses to maintain a stable work for I am a single mom (my husband abandoned us) caring for a sick child. I have been anxious and desperate since then--frantically searching for employment, asking friends and acquaintances, and doing everything I can possibly can to have a steady stream on income for our needs. My savings are about gone and I have hit rock bottom. I've been praying but now I understand that I have this nagging thought that "what if God does not listen to my prayers again?" which is why I'm feeling desperate and anxious, relying on my own intelligence and capabilities to figure out and solve my situation. But now that all my efforts seem to be in vain, perhaps the Lord is telling me, "You've done everything you could... now will you let Me take care of everything?" Please help me pray that God will give me the grace to welcome His love and trust in His goodness. I want to depend on Him fully. Lord, please help my unbelief! Take care of everything!

There are other people depending on me, and I have no idea what I should (or even can) do. I want to surrender everything to Jesus, but I can’t tell what He wants me to do.

    Thank you sister, your words have reached me and I'm almost ready to accept Him in my heart, yet I still feel like I'm not quite ready. I've done so much bad in my life that I don't know how to reconcile my sins, much less be open and honest in confession , partly because of the severity of my sins, and that I honestly can't remember most of them, and that I don't want to place anymore trouble for my sins upon Jesus Christ. I know that he died for our sins, but I'm not worthy of what He gave His life for.

Don’t be afraid of confession, you are talking to God who already knows yours sins, you won’t shock him. He loves you and just wants you to come to Him! God bless you my friend. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻

What IS important is that we NOT hinder Him so much."
