God Is Doing Something New

Click for More

In today’s Gospel, we see the profound blessing of hearing and observing the Word of God—and no one exemplifies this more perfectly than our Blessed Mother Mary. She devoured the Scriptures, rejoiced in the Word made flesh, and prepared the way for Christ. As John the Baptist said, “He must increase; I must decrease.”

Our world today is filled with confusion and moral collapse, yet we can trust in the Gospel and the traditions of the Church. Prophets like Joel, and apparitions of Our Lady—La Salette, Lourdes, Fatima, Akita—call us to repentance, but also offer hope. Joel speaks of the harvest, and Our Lady promises triumph and peace through her Immaculate Heart.

We are living at the close of an age, a time for the faithful to witness God doing something new. Just as new wine requires fresh wineskins, God is bringing a renewal in the Spirit. The harvest is ripe, and the reapers are angels sent by God. We can rejoice in this promise, trusting in the triumph of Our Lady and the blessings awaiting the faithful.

Explore the depth of this triumph in our video series Days of Elijah and the Coming Triumph, available on DivineMercyPlus.org. God is doing something new—let us be hopeful and prepared.
