Beautiful things happen when we entrust ourselves to our spiritual mother Mary. There is truly no way to know the heart of Jesus without seeing through his mothers eyes and her heart. Jesus gave us to her at the foot of the cross as he breathed his last breath signifying its importance. I’ve grown to know and love this model of humility and holy perfection. She has helped soften my heart, teaching me to love. But recently something has changed. After consecrating myself to Mary, I’m experiencing God’s grace to be glorified through me. Each of us has the honor of being little tabernacles of the Lord. Like Mary, we too can carry Him within ourselves and share His love, hope, and joy with all those around us.
Let love be sincere, hate what is evil, hold onto what is good; love one another with mutual affection; anticipate one another in showing honor. Romans 12:9-10
Who do you reflect? Like Mary, we can carry Him within.
Dearly beloved Mother, grant, if it is possible, that I may have no other spirit but yours to know Jesus and his divine will; that I may have no other soul but yours to praise and glorify the Lord; that I may have no other heart but yours to love God with a love as pure and passionate as yours. I do not ask you for visions, revelations, feelings of devotion, or spiritual pleasures. It is your privilege to see God clearly; it’s your privilege to enjoy heavenly bliss; it’s your privilege to triumph gloriously in heaven at the right hand of your Son and to hold absolute sway over angels, men, and demons; it is your privilege to dispose of all the gifts of God, just as you wish . . . The only grace I beg you to obtain for me is that every day and every moment of my life I may say: Amen, so be it, to all that you did while on earth; amen, so be it, to all that you are now doing in heaven; amen, so be it, to all that you are doing in my soul, so that you alone may fully glorify Jesus in me for time and eternity. Amen. St. Louis de Montfort
