The MOTHER of GOD

"Wyszynski held firmly to three other convictions that would shape his governance of Polish Catholicism and his political strategy for three decades. He was convinced that Polish Popular piety---especially Polish devotion to Mary, Mother of God---was far stronger than communist propaganda and could be drawn upon as a font of cultural resistance.” Weigel, G. (2010) The End and the Beginning.  New York:  Doubleday Religion

Justice and Peace

“The Pope kissed the ground at Khartoum airport, and began his address at the arrival ceremony with a frank statement of concern:  “When people are weak and poor and defenseless, I must raise my voice on their behalf.  When they are homeless and suffering the consequences of drought, famine, disease and the devastations of war, I must be close to them….”  He had come, he said, on behalf of “justice and peace for all the citizens of this land, without reserve, regardless of their religion, social standing, ethnic background or color.”  Witness to Hope by George Weigel

JMJ

In the consequences of Original Sin, Man made in the Image of His Creator is drawn towards the Eternity of Love, the Only Begotten Son incarnated to restore what has been lost by the sin of our First Parents.  In this restoration of Man towards his Creator, the Omnipotent God of all the Living comes down from the throne of His Eternal Kingdom to live among the temporal life of this world and illumine the hearts of Mankind towards the living reality of the sacredness and dignity of humanity.  A humanity made in His Divine Image as heir of a Kingdom that will remain forever in this life through the ordinary and hidden tasks of daily living, sanctified by grace to come to flourishin in the Eternity of God’s Kingdom.  How great are the depths of God and unfathomable are His mercies that in restoring to Man his dignity he brings to Him a Union of the Divine to that which is most ordinary.  A justice and peace in the dimension of eternity passes through time in order that Man may taste of the Heavenly Glory he has been destined to live.  A voice of the Christ Child spurs from the cry of a baby who speaks for all who are weak, poor and defenseless to restore to those who are in need of hope and are in need of God’s Most Merciful Gaze of Redemption. 

Eternal Word of the Father, You have bestowed on Man an eternity of hope for a redemption that lives according to the Spirit of the Most Awesome and Living God.  In this redemption we encounter the peace that is longed for in every human heart.  A justice that makes free the eternity of love for those who have been enslaved from the brokenness of human weakness and misery.  We stand tall and erect in the hope we find in the Redemption that is near at hand and know that in this hope we will encounter a Most Awesome and Generous God; who in the Salvation of Man will redeem us ever more to a deeper intimacy with the Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, three Divine Persons, One God.  O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not our petitions but in your mercy hear and answer me.  Amen. 

 

His Boundless Love

"The Second Vatican Council rightly proclaimed that the Eucharistic Sacrifice is “the source and summit of the Christian life”.¹ “For the most Holy Eucharist contains the Church's entire spiritual wealth: Christ himself, our passover and living bread. Through his own flesh, now made living and life-giving by the Holy Spirit, he offers life to men”.² Consequently the gaze of the Church is constantly turned to her Lord, present in the Sacrament of the Altar, in which she discovers the full manifestation of HIS BOUNDLESS LOVE." Supreme Pontiff John Paul II (2003) Encyclical Letter Ecclesia de Eucharistia.  Libreria Editrice Vaticana

JMJ

 

Manifested by His Divine Grace, Christ the Beloved knows full well the desires of His BRIDE!  For in the circumstance of our eternal age, the defined moment of every existence is brought forward in the CROSS!  Where, O Christ, shall I find You, but near and before me in the Most Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.  As I GAZE upon You hidden in the form of BREAD, You reveal to me the manifestation of a GOD so HUMBLE and YET so POWERFUL in the Hands of a Merciful and Providential Plan.  A Plan defined by this very moment in time when in the creation of Your own being as the Incarnate Word made Flesh, You reveal to us the GRANDEUR of a God who manifests His Infinite Goodness through the littleness and humility of a child that comes to us in the form of bread for all the world to know that the AWESOMENESS of Your Splendour is not to be feared, but to be embraced with the TRUST of a child towards his Eternal Father.  How may I approach the THRONE of Your Divine Majesty, except through the humble acceptance of my daily trials and circumstances!  I kneel before You, adoring You in Your GOODNESS towards me, and I request Your Divine Majesty to hear the plea of my HEART!  I wish to manifest to the whole of CREATION of How WONDERFUL You are and How GREAT YOU are in the Most Holy Eucharist, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity!  You promise me Your continued PRESENCE and reveal to me that although at times the manifestation of GOODNESS is a sign of the CROSS, it is there that I am ever more UNITED to YOU as my BELOVED SPOUSE and DIVINE SAVIOR!  REJOICE heartily, O Christ, for you have found Your Bride that will forever know and bring to You the humble existence of my HEART that will be ever united to You in the CROSS!  Purity, O Beloved, is the sign of His Infinite Goodness to those He has chosen to be His own.  GRACE upon GRACE, O INFINITE and Divine Savior, is the fullness of Your Generosity that places before You a humble request to preserve what has been given as GIFT for ALL ETERNITY!  BOUNDLESS Love, Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit bring FORTH a GREATER MANIFESTATION of Your ETERNAL GOODNESS so that ALL may bring to the THRONE a HEART Contrite and humble towards FULL UNION with You, O Infinite and TRIUNE GOD!

Mother of the Divine Word, the BOUNDLESS LOVE of Your Eternal Son comes to us time and again in the Most Holy Eucharist!  Protect and guard the purity of our PRIESTS so that the HOLINESS and SANCTITY of these CHOSEN MEN may ever more be RENEWED in the CHURCH his Bride!  Mother of the Eucharist, through the HANDS of PRIEST you bring to us Your Son, the Only Begotten Son of the Eternal Father so that His Bride the CHURCH may REACH the UNION of the SAINTS of HEAVEN!  Your ETERNAL KINGDOM, Divine Savior, calls forth a NEW HORIZON of HOPE for those who have been strayed so that the Good Shepherd may REJOICE once again for the one that was lost is now FOUND!  Your Manifestation of Divine Love so BOUNDLESS and so INFINITE can bring forth a BLESSING of GRACE upon GRACE towards a HOPE that is ever ANEW in the souls that TRUST in Your Divine Mercy!  YES!  My Divine Mother, Your ETERNAL SON, is in LOVE with His BRIDE and LONGS FOR HER to come to HIM!  He is Present and ever ALIVE and REVEALS a Manifestation of His Divine Heart to her, concealing nothing from her as she adores Him with the Humility of your Immaculate Heart!  He is in LOVE with an INFINITE MEASURE that the Merits of Eternity will only reveal until the END of TIME!  Mother of the Divine Word, I love You, teach me to Love Your Son with your purity and humility.  Mediatrix of all GRACES, conform my heart to thine and grant to me the GRACES necessary for a FULL FIAT to the Divine Word.  Amen.

The Feminine Genius

https://soundcloud.com/romancatholicmeditations/the-feminine-genius?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=facebook

“St. Paul had taught that the “more excellent way” and the greatest of the theological virtues was love (1 Cor.12.31).  John Paul suggests that what he terms the “feminine genius” is the “place” of this more excellent way in the world and the Church.  “In God’s eternal plan,” he writes, “woman is the one in whom the order of love in the created world of persons first takes root.”  Because love is the inner dynamic of the life of God, women’s experience has a unique dignity, and that dignity is to be measured not by the dominating and male order of power, but “by the order of love, which is essentially the order of justice and charity.”  That dignity gives rise to a vocation to love, which can be discerned in the fact that “the human being is entrusted by God to women in a particular way.”  Here was a basic issue with untold, profound implications for humanity.”  Witness to Hope by George Weigel

JMJ

The order of justice and charity gives the human being the essential vocation of love lived in every person made in the image and likeness of God.  Woman, in her unique dignity is the first to form and take root this order of love in the creation of being.  She, in God’s eternal plan, carries within her womb the beginning of life, from the moment a human person is conceived into existence.  The very calling of woman brings forth the vocation of love, as God entrusts to her a human being hidden within the very womb of her human body.  The feminine genius brings forth the virtue of love as she carries the child within her womb with care and diligent love as she awaits the coming of his birth.  The sacrifice she portrays in this beholds to man the “more excellent way” and the greatest of the theological virtues of charity towards the dignity of life entrusted to her by God.  It is in woman alone that God in His eternal plan has allowed this work of creation and has begun a new life that is awaited to begin from the moment of conception to natural death.  How great are the depths and the heights of God!  How inscrutable His judgment, that He in His awesome wonder has bestowed on woman the gift and entrustment of human life hidden within her very womb.  No greater love hath he than to lay down one’s life for one’s friend.  The mystery of life is entrusted to her in the gift of her motherhood and femininity. 

What interior disposition is there in a woman, who denies the life within her womb to continue as she is given the choice of abortion?  The very thought and consideration of such an evil, has already destroyed the heart of the child within her.  The very vocation of motherhood, engrained into her whole being, is torn from her in an action that eliminates the very dignity of her calling.  Her blood runs through his blood, her thoughts run through his thoughts, indeed every form of nourishment she receives comes through the heart of the child hidden within her womb.   God, in His infinite goodness, created him and brought him into existence and invokes woman to embrace him until he is ready to behold the world. 

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.  Reveal to Man the abomination found in the act of abortion.  Restore to woman the dignity of life that she is destined to fulfill in the gift of her femininity through the grace of her motherhood.  You have bestowed on woman alone the gift of humanity as she carries life hidden within her womb.  May she hold this entrustment You confidently give her, as a treasure to defend and protect against the deceits of a culture that is blind to the truth of the value of life from the moment of conception.  May she not be deceived by the works of a law system that legalizes the right to deny her very vocation and calling as mother through the destruction of abortion.  Raise up holy men and women who defend the life of the unborn, in all its truth and all its reality so that the confusion that is reigning in our world today will not degrade the dignity and vocation of woman any longer.  O Mary, my Dearest Mother, You who are most blessed among women, pray for us who have recourse to thee.  Amen.
