"Mary's Gift"

#215  Thursday, Dec. 12/13, 9:45am, our Lady of Guadalupe, St. Theresa’s before the Blessed Sacrament.

O sweet Lady.  How gracious you have been to Me and to those to whom God has given Me.  You are constantly on watch.  Nothing falls outside of your caring gaze.  You endeavor to reach out to souls that need a Motherly touch.

Your kindness to them relieves their concern.

They may not even know of you, but you care for them all the same because you want them with Me in paradise.

Your gaze is one of Love --- at first it may seem like you are sorrowful, but the dominant emotion you express is Love.

Mankind’s behaviour may cause your heart sorrow, yet you will not let that distract you from loving each person over whom I have charge.

Splendid is your Name.  Your many titles honor you and bring those who honor you, under these titles, even closer to Me.

She wants to be the transit system that brings souls to her Dear Son.

She never lets a soul stop and abide long with her.  Otherwise she knows she is taking on the role meant for Her Son.

Her hand and heart constantly reach out to bring each person to the footstool of Her Son – where they can sit or kneel as they wish, so they grow closer and closer to Her Son.

She knows The Way.  She wants to show you The Way.  She is not The Way, but knows The Way intimately.

Let her lead you.  Let her console your heart with the message that Her Son is the ultimate Lover and Forgiver.

She wants you to know this so she never hesitates to take on the role of Mothering you towards Her Son.

Put out your hand and take hers.  It is delicate yet strong, it knows the way and aches to lead you on the right way.

Her eagerness to serve is driven by Love, so she does not come to you harshly or abruptly – maybe by surprise, yes – but she wants to “appear” to you so you will not feel that there is no one to lead you to Me.

Welcome My Mother into your heart each day.  As you welcome the new holy day, also welcome Mary as your Mother into your heart and give her permission to lead you closer and closer to Me.

Be still and  know that I am God.  As Mary affirmed Me, may you also this Christmas affirm and reaffirm Mary as My Mother and your Mother.

Beg her to share her trust, faith and love with you.

What a great gift she brings --  her Son who is Trust, Faith, Love.

What more could you ask for this Christmas?

Rejoice, your Saviour will be born new or anew in your heart.

Cry Alleluia, you know the Saviour and He has known you for ever.

Spread Mary’s gentle peace wherever you go.

Thank you for adoring.
