EspañolDear brothers and sisters in Christ,Lent has come again and we are reminded of the exhortation of our beloved founder:“In this time of Lent, let us reflect upon these times and the condition of the world. If things are ever going to change it must first be through you and I. If the one person who can change, you, refuses…then how can we expect the world to improve or change? You must be the one to effect that change through your daily life with God as its center; each day, every day”.There really is no better time to ask God for the grace of “conversion” than in this time of Lent. Knowing is not a merely human endeavor but rather a work of the Holy Spirit (CCC 1989), as Scripture tells us: ‘Make us come back to you, Yahweh, and we will come back’ (Lam 5,21). It is the movement of a contrite heart, drawn and moved by grace to respond to the merciful love of God who loved us first (CCC 1428). Thus the important thing is not aiming at outward works, but at the conversion of the heart, interior conversion, which implies turning away from evil and having the firm desire to change one’s life, with hope in God’s mercy and trust in the help of His grace; for it is God who gives us the strength to begin anew. May our Blessed Mother of Guadalupe help us during Lent and Holy Week to understand what we need to do in order that we can say wholeheartedly: " Lord, I am your servant, let it be done to me according to Your Will."We invite you to UNITE to Jesus in His Passion accompanied by JRM through the meditations Our Lord gave him.May God bless you!Mission For the Love of God Worldwide
