Our Lady has repeated her messages time and time again. Im no different than anyone else as i have to be told again and again like any of Marys children to accept and live the messages and be Marys carrier of Jesuss light to others in my daily living in faith. We are asked to bloom where we are planted. As Jesus was presented in the temple by Mary and Joseph, they were full of joy as Simeon foretold how great Jesus would be. Mary carried all these things in her heart and shared with others.
