MOTHER MARY

QUEEN OF THE ROSARY

“How can we forget our Blessed Mother who loves us so much and fills us with Her grace”

God manifests His love through various means in order to help us to realize that He continues to dwell with us until the end of time.  This realization of God as our Abba Father who cares for us at all times is the stipulation for one’s surrender to God’s Eternal Will.  In His teaching Lord Jesus has made this point very clear whenever He spoke about Father’s love and our relationship with Him.  By submitting ourselves to the Divine Will we can become holy and experience His abiding love. 

Like Jesus Christ, His Mother, Mary always stood for the Will of God.  She is the Mother who gives birth to the Holy Hope in our hearts-- not the hope of vain that transmits the good of this life, but also of the immense and eternal virtues of heaven.

St. Bernard interpreting Her words, adds, “All generations shall call You blessed because You have given life and glory to all nations for it is in You that sinners find pardon and just perseverance in the grace of God.”

In the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, we read that God created two great lights – a greater light to rule the day and a lesser light to rule the night.  (Gen 1:16). 

Some spiritual writers have suggested that Christ symbolizes the light of the world who rules in just; the moon the lesser light resembles Mary who enlightens those living in the darkness of sin. 

So Holy Mary is the auspicious luminary for the benefit of poor sinners.  Whoever is in the night of sin let him cast his eyes on the moon and let him implore Mother Mary.  As a mother, She understands the needs of her children and intercedes with God for our spiritual and temporal benefits.  It is not enough that we depend on Her when we need Her assistance, but we also have to imitate Her exemplary life as She lived a life of love, generosity and contentment.  Let us also try to live for others. 

During the month of October it is a custom among believers to venerate the Blessed Virgin by making a spiritual garland and presenting it to Her by praying the Rosary.

With Loved Filled Blessings, 
Your Sister in Christ 

An act for the day:

Jesus taught Martha when she was reluctant over His command of rolling the stone away that covered Lazarus’ tomb, saying to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the Glory of God?” (John 11:38-40)

Through this total SURRENDER and BELIEF, everyone witnessed a miracle that revealed His Glory, at that moment of a family crisis.

Let us today offer a HOLY ROSARY in total surrender and belief for the peace and unity among our families!

GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

“Those who are led by God’s spirit are God’s son.” (Rom 8:14)

                                    

PIETY

A pious person is faithful to God as well as to his co-brothers. 

He does all his duties towards God and to his status wholeheartedly and faithfully. Since it is the gift of God, the person having this virtue is called the child of God. 

The mutual love between a son and father are relevant vividly in this blessing.

The experience of immeasurable love of God is beyond the control of human mind and it overflows in the form of tears.  It is so deep that nothing can separate him from the Love of God. 

St. Paul was a faithful servant of God who said once, “Who then can separate us from the love of Christ?  Can trouble do it or hardship or persecution or hunger or poverty or danger or death?  (Rom 8:35)

The gift of piety grants us the strength to tolerate the trials and troubles of day to day life.  Even in the midst of severe hardships one can confess his faith courageously. 

The Holy Spirit is also known as the ‘God of Reverence”.  The Holy Bible says reverence for the Lord is one of the greatest treasures.  God alone trains this gift to His children. “Come young friends and listen to me.  I will teach you to honor your Lord.”  (Psalms 34)

A pious person is able to please his God and enjoy prolonged conversation with Him, as well as obtain a generous heart.  The way to become wise is to honor the Lord.

 St. Paul says, “For what is life?  To me it is Christ, death will bring more.”  (Phil 1: 21)

A pious man would love to sacrifice his life for Christ. In whatever circumstances he is, he chooses the Will of God cheerfully and enjoy praising Him at all times. 

Lord Jesus says, “I always do what pleases Him.”  (John 8:29)

Once Lord Jesus plainly explained to His disciples, “My food is to obey the will of the One who sent me and to finish the work He gave me to do.”  (John 4:34). 

In great anguish also Lord Jesus prayed more fervently, “Not My will, however but Your will be done.”  (Luke 22:42)

Through the above verses Lord Jesus teach us the gifts of Holy Spirit are essential to loyally obey God’s law which is beneficial for us. A pious man can love God’s laws more than he loves himself.

The example of a brave mother and her seven sons encouraging each other to die for the sake of their faithfulness to God is worth meditating.  The mother was the most amazing person who deserves a special place is our memory.  She endured her 7 sons’ cruel death in a single day for the sake of their great trust in God.  She encouraged her sons to die for their faith. She said to them, “I don’t know how your life began in my womb.  She would say, “I was not the one who gave life and breath and put together each part of your body.”  (2 Macc. 7: 22)

Here we can see the reverence of God gives courage to a person to be obedient to God and his authorities till death.  The natural way of obedience will take root in a person when God writes His laws into his heart (Jeremiah 31).  Reverence for the Lord is holy and it has to live forever.

 “To honor the Lord is to hate evil such as pride, arrogance, all evil ways and false words.”  (Prov. 8:13)

The gift of reverence is the key to wisdom and fear of God.  Whoever learns to practice the reverence of God knows the path of peace. (Rom 3 : 17-18).

“Reverence for Lord is the fountain on life which gives confidence and security to a man and his family” (Prov. 14:26)

“Obey the Lord, be humble and you will get riches, honor and a long life.”  (Prov. 22: 4)

God prepares a banquet for him were all his enemies can see it and a good fortune awaits him.  Whoever seeks, receives the gift of piety.  

The Holy Bible says, “Look for it as hard as you would for silver or some hidden treasure.”

The Lord Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, “Whoever is thirsty should come to Me and drink it.”  One can experience the flow of streams of love of God in his life through the gift of reverence of God.
