[Maryh]

“Dear children!

In this time of grace, I am calling all of you to open your hearts to God’s mercy, to begin a new life through prayer, penance and a decision for holiness.

This time of spring moves you to a new life, to a renewal, in your thoughts and hearts.

Therefore, little children, I am with you to help you to say ‘yes’ to God and to God’s Commandments with resoluteness.
You are not alone; I am with you through the grace which the Most High gives me for you and your descendants.

Thank you for having responded to my call.”

One thing I ain’t when it comes to keeping a clean slate –– resolute!

[Maryh]

I find the direct reference to the commandments really important this time.

There were some commandments I was pretty sure of myself that I would never in a million years
be tempted to break. Thought I had them 'in the bag'.
Wrong! I was wrong about that. Thought I knew better but then you may encounter situations you've
never been in before. Just goes to show we can never be too sure.

I got to strengthen my resolve so much too or else I'm going to get further away from God.
Seems like if we're not really determined for holiness; We can be in the thick of all kinds of trouble without even realising what is happening. Too caught up!

So nice to know we're not alone.
