Palm Sunday

Praises to God

"Say to Daughter Zion, “Look, your king is coming to you, humble and riding on a donkey, and on a colt the donkey’s offspring."      -Zechariah 9:9

 "Now a large crowd spread their clothes on the road. Others cut palm branches off the trees and spread them on the road.  The crowds in front of him and behind him shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
                                                     - Mathew 21:8-9

When Jesus entered Jerusalem,people shouted praises and showered honor and praises out of excitement. Jesus rode on the donkey through the street of Jerusalem hearing all theses praises, but all this time He knew that what was going to happen to Him after a while. But He received everything peacefully and calmly.

From this incident we must realize that, the praises and comforts that the world showers on us are just momentary. After a while the same world will crucify us with its revenge enveloped in luxuries. Hence like Jesus, we must walk through the streets of this world without loosing our mind to it. The world may try to make us feel like a king upon its fantasies. But we must always realize its just false.

In between the extravaganzas of this world we must only look to the hope in our dear Father in Heaven,just like Jesus did. Jesus always wished the Fathers Will to be done. We must focus on the hope of resurrection and the eternal prize of it and run our race.

" So then let’s also run the race that is laid out in front of us, since we have such a great cloud of witnesses surrounding us. Let’s throw off any extra baggage, get rid of the sin that trips us up,  and fix our eyes on Jesus, faith’s pioneer and perfecter. He endured the cross, ignoring the shame, for the sake of the joy that was laid out in front of him, and sat down at the right side of God’s throne."
                                                                            -Hebrews 12:1


Prayer

 Lord God Almighty Father, help us to realize the emptiness of the worldly things and set our eyes and heart upon you alone each second of our life and run our race setting hope on Resurrection and the eternal gift for us in heaven.

In the name of the Father Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

A Deeper Relation to God

Life of Padre Pio gave a different dimension of relation towards Jesus. Quoting one of Padre Pio's words;

"When Jesus wants to make me happy, He fills my heart with that spirit which is all fire, and speaks to me about His delights; but when He wants to be consoled, He speaks to me about His pains, and invites me in a manner that is both a request and a command, to offer my body to alleviate His sufferings."

The reflection that struck the mind was, "...when Jesus wants to be consoled, He speaks about His pains and invites me in a manner that is both a request and a command, to offer my body to alleviate His sufferings."

When do Jesus feels to be consoled? What are His pains? Jesus feels painful when His dear ones fail to recognize Gods love. He cries for the souls that are getting lost without realizing the way of salvation. Our Father did the maximum extent of sacrifice that He can by offering His only son to suffer and trample underfoot of the world to kill the sin and evil by resurrecting over the worldly flesh and death.

When we bring to our mind, the trial of Jesus, He is beaten, He is insulted, He is being spit and pierced with nails, His flesh scattered and blood flowed covering the face of the world. How much more can we imagine, a man could suffer and sacrifice himself for the salvation of we sinners?

Jesus says "When I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw everyone to me.”-John 12:32

Yes He was lifted up from the earth and resurrected from the earth, now it is us who should respond to what is attracting us to the Cross, the love of God. It is now the overflowing mercy of Our God that is helping us and finding us and guiding us in the life of this world. When we realize this mercy, we are carried by God and in His name we are saved.

"Salvation can be found in no one else. Throughout the whole world, no other name has been given among humans through which we must be saved.”-Acts 4:12

But still people are failing to realize this, there is no more sacrifices that God can make to save people. Only if they absorb the living word in their heart and believe in Jesus and Father and look upon the cross, they can be saved. But the evil is exhibiting a fabulous fleet of panoramic experiences in the world that Gods children are getting distracted and trapped from the way of cross. This Pains our Lord. Jesus feel strained, what more He can do?

This is were God calls us, those  who realized His mercy, to console Him and help Him. How can we help Him and console Him? By reducing His pain in loosing His children.God calls us to share His pain, the pain that He still is suffering to save the children who are getting destroyed.

"This is how we know love: Jesus laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters."- 1 John 3:16

" No one has greater love than to give up one’s life for one’s friends."- John 15:13

This is what the extent of our relation with our Savior should be. To share His pain and console Him by joining with Him in helping to save a child of God by bringing them to the Cross of everlasting hope and purification by the blood of Christ. This is the joy in heaven. We are called for it and once we submit us for this mission, it is God who gives us the power,' alone we can do nothing...because He lives, we live

" 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' "I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."    -Luke 15:6-7

If we are only looking for our salvation, it is a mere selfish and is a waste. Because our salvation lies in our brothers salvation.

 ‘I assure you that when you have done it for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you have done it for me.’-Mathew 25:40

Let us join with Jesus and share His pain in true love, because this what He said,

"He replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your being, and with all your mind.   This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: You must love your neighbor as you love yourself.  All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.”
                                                                                                                 - Mathew 22:37-40

We can do this by submitting ourselves for God, sharing the good news to everyone, making a lifestyle in us to stand for God each day and every time we are in this world, never going away from our Lord and always giving our heart for the voice of the Holy Spirit and living according to Our Lords wish, by helping and loving each other without corruption and guiding our fellow beings to Jesus by reflecting Jesus through us.

Let us Pray,

Thank you Lord for giving us the depth of our relation to you. Help us to understand you and feel the pain that you suffer for our sake and for our fellow beings. Let us realize our duty to share the pains with you and thus helping to guide all the souls unto You and aid in building up of Gods Kingdom. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Amen.


Let us submit ourselves unto His hands to spread Gods love to the world and to lead our fellow beings unto His cross.

God is Love.

"Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar. Then he brought me out by way of the north gate, and led me round on the outside to the outer gate, that faces toward the east; and the water was coming out on the south side. Going on eastward with a line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water; and it was ankle-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water; and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water; and it was up to the loins. Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen; it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. And he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen this?" Then he led me back along the bank of the river. As I went back, I saw upon the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. And he said to me, "This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah; and when it enters the stagnant waters of the sea, the water will become fresh. And wherever the river goes every living creature which swarms will live, and there will be very many fish; for this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing."-Ezekiel 47:1-9,12

This bible verses revealed the flow of Gods love. The flow of water can be equated to the flow of mercy and love from Gods heart to the each human. Ezekiel was asked to to follow what the man said. As he followed the man, he observed the flow of water, each time he proceeded the water got deeper and deeper until Ezekiel was fully immersed in the love(water) from God. It was at this stage that the water enters the stagnant waters of the sea inturn making the sea water fresh.

Only by the immersion of Ourselves in the love of God, will make it overflow from us and enter the stagnant lives of our fellow beings, thus making their spirits fresh. We can find that by remaining in the banks of the river of Love from God, our spirits will never wither nor we will fail to bear fruit of the gospel. We will be successful in producing good fruits every time of our life "because the water for us flows from the sanctuary of God and the fruit will be for food, and their leaves (spirit) for healing"

Let us Pray,

 God we thank you for helping us reveal the extent and flow of Your Love from Your sanctuary to our lives and to the lives of others. Let us follow all that You ask from us and thus get filled and immersed in Your love so that it overflows to our brothers and sisters bearing fruits of spirit all of our life. In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit Amen,

Can You Suffer with Me?

The Sorrowful Mysteries of Rosary is piercing our hearts reflecting the pain and suffering that our dear Jesus underwent during the last hours of overflowing love of God for us.

The Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane- the first mystery,

        Jesus prays, "My soul is sorrowful unto death."Jesus sees the sins of all mankind, whose guilt He has taken upon Himself.He sees the wrath of the Father which His sufferings must appease.So great is his anguish that His sweat becomes as drops of blood falling to the ground.An angel appears to Him from heaven to strengthen Him."Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet, not My will but Yours be done."Finding the disciples asleep: "Could you not watch one hour with me?"

While chanting this mystery, Jesus asked a question, "Can you Suffer with Me,Could you not watch one hour with me ?"

Thinking deeply about the question, we realize it is hard for us to say a full proof yes. Jesus invites us to His sufferings. Are we ready to suffer for Him? or to stay with Him.When we think of sufferings, most of us are scared of the consequences. The pains that it can bring, the loss that it can cause , it is thought to squeeze us of our life. We doubt our submission for the invitation of Jesus. Why cannot we give us for Jesus to take part in His sufferings?

As we stand by thinking this, Jesus speaks to us saying that, you cant join me in my sufferings because you love yourself more than anything. The love of our self is dominating in our hearts that we cannot afford the pains upon our life. Our heart is full of our love towards our life and comforts. We can give Jesus a compromising submission, that will not bother our life much. Is this the right kind of dedication to our Lord?

When our mind sways in confusion, Jesus clears it off by asking a question, 'What if I would have thought like you during My time in this world?" This question opens our spirit.  The after effect of Jesus's question would have been terrible. We will all die in our sins without a hope in everlasting life and a home in heaven.

But let us reflect in our mind what Jesus did. Jesus never did anything in favour of Him to save Him, but everything He did was for us for our salvation;

"Though he was in the form of God, he did not consider being equal with God something to exploit.
But he emptied himself by taking the form of a slave and by becoming like human beings.
When he found himself in the form of a human,he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,even death on a cross"-Philippians 2:6-8

But we are not able to do this, because we are selfish in ourselves. We are not able to submit our selfish love to God and cleanse ourselves to fill our hearts in Gods love. It is during this replacement of our love with Gods love, that help us to submit ourselves to suffer for Christ and also to sacrifice for our fellow beings. Jesus says, as long as you love yourself and your possessions of the world ,you cannot love me perfectly and sincerely nor can suffer for me. For this to begin, we must abandon our selfish love and fill us with Lords love. Let us not compromise anything for His everlasting love.

Let us think deep in our heart to find the sincere perfect love to our God. Even if this sincere love is so tiny as the mustard seed or even if it is not at all there, let us submit our state of love to our Father and Jesus, He will transform this love and increase it magnanimously. What ever we have let us submit unto Him.

Prayer

Lord God, thank you for giving us the realization of the nature of our love and the eternity of Your love. Help us to remove our selfish love from our heart and clean it to fill it with your love. Let our hearts fill and overflow with Your love oh God so that we love you with all our heart, and with all our soul, and with all our mind, and with all our strength,suffer for You and love our neighbor as ourselves. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, Amen

Almighty God,Our Refuge

"Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, “Who is it you want?”

 “Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.

“I am he,” Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) When Jesus said, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

Again he asked them, “Who is it you want?”

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”  This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: “I have not lost one of those you gave me"

                                          -John 18:4-9

The real love of our Father through Jesus is revealed here. Along with this Gospel, we can read the love of God through the verses below;

" For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life"-John 3:16

This is how our Father gave us Jesus for our sins. The powers of the dark always troubles and traps the Children of God. They doesn't like to see Jesus in our heart. When we are in temptation, when we are in trouble and when sufferings and disturbances overpower our life, let us remember this altruistic life of Jesus.

Our Jesus knows that, the powers of the dark are after us because they want Jesus to be removed from our heart. In such stage we if are closer to Him and holding Him in our heart, then, Jesus will stand before us and will ask,

“Who is it you want?”

“Jesus of Nazareth,” they said.

 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If you are looking for me, then let these men go.”

This is the protection for us from our Jesus. This is how Jesus took the cross of our sins and sufferings for us to save us and He is doing the same now. We have to just believe in Him. 

" I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies"

                                                                                                            -John 11:25

Our God protects us and will stand as a defense if we are having Him in our Heart perfectly.

Prayer

Lord Almighty teach us and help us to fill our hearts with You and your love in truth. We know that you will cover us with your feather and under your wings we will find refuge; your faithfulness will be our shield and rampart(psalms 91:4).

Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus

Amen

Psalms 18

How can we shut the doors of our hearts when Jesus stands before us opening wide His heart?

'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me."- Revelation 3:20

This is the period of mercy and love. Our lord our God offered the most greatest offering for us, by giving His only son. Those who believes in Him and receives His Body and Blood are sanctified and will be raise to perfection in God.

 God has said to us that "I will put My law within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people."They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them," declares the LORD, "for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more."…Jeremiah 31:33-34

God inscribed the living word in our hearts. We are now living through the resurrected word in flesh (JESUS). He came into us to live in us and make us like Him and strengthen us through His power to conquer the world and the powers of the dark as He did. Our Lord is standing with open heart, blood and water is flowing from it..mercy and love is bubbling out of it..let us stand under the cross, submitting all our weaknesses on to it. Let the Blood of Christ pour on to us an cleanse us, let the 

water from Him bath us in His love and mercy and sanctify us. Have we opened our hearts?

"Take care, brothers, lest there be in any of you an evil, unbelieving heart, leading you to fall away from the living God.  But exhort one another every day, as long as it is called “today,” that none of you may be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.  For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.  As it is said, “Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”-Hebrews 3:13-15

Let us not shut our heart to the Lord, when He is standing with arms open wide. Let us open our heart unto Him, let his love fill us and over flow from us so that we can give HIS love to others. Let us abandon our heart and take Jesus Heart in us....

Let us pray;

Lord, show us the areas in our life that blocks us from your rays of love and mercy. Help us to roll the great stone that is blocking our heart to open unto you. Let your living word - the double edged sword, break open our hearts of stone and transform it into your heart of flesh and purity. Help us lord.

In the name of the Father, Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Deuteronomy 10:12-22

Hebrews 4:12-13

It is God who Works through us

Where ever we are, what ever we do, realize that we are a new creation in Christ. It is no longer the human that is living in us but we are living in the life of Christ, we are breathing His breath. Hence let us leave ourselves back and move on as Christ. When we see others,let us see Christ in them. Whenever we do something, it is for Christ and in Christ that we do. This will make us humble, open in mind, unselfish and finding peace in everything.

It is God that chose us for His great mercy. Gods love found us out.

'"You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you."

                                                                     -John 15:16

Receive everything from the world through the hands of God. Then it shall remain in us with full satisfaction.
It is not our eligibility,but it is the grace of Almighty that has guided us all the days till now and is guiding forever.

 "You aren’t doing the talking, but the Spirit of my Father is doing the talking through you."

                                                                                                       -Mathew 10:20

Let us praise Him all through our life and give honour to Him, because Our Father has given us a love that can never dry up and is never comparable to anything....

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.- Colossians 3:17

Whoever speaks should do so as those who speak God’s word. Whoever serves should do so from the strength that God furnishes. Do this so that in everything God may be honored through Jesus Christ. To him be honor and power forever and always. Amen- 1Peter 4:11

Praises to Lord always...

John 3:16

Psalms 139

"it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me"

Today the day began with Gods message,

" If Joshua gave the Israelites rest, God wouldn’t have spoken about another day later on.

Therefore, it’s left open for some to enter it, and the ones who had the good news preached to them before didn’t enter because of disobedience.  Just as it says in the passage above, God designates a certain day as “today,” when he says through David much later,

Today, if you hear his voice,
        don’t have stubborn hearts".- Hebrews 4:8, 6-7

The verses and the messages that shook the mind most was ,

1.  the ones who had the good news preached to them before didn’t enter because of disobedience and 

2. God designates a certain day as “today,” hence 'Today,if you hear his voice, dont have stubborn hearts'.

Are we in disobedience? Have we entered the 'rest' in God? Did we hear Gods voice today? Is our heart hard and stubborn?

God speaks to us every minute. But our hearts are hardened. It has become stubborn because of our selfish likes and desires. Our passion for our comforts has made us shrink in our heart. This is true when we think scientifically and spiritually. We are failing to recognize His voice. God again pleads to us not to harden our hearts. Atleast if we hear Him today, let us pray oh God help us to find your voice among the worldly rushes.

He wants us to enter 'rest' in Him. This is brings us to the real dimension of submission. God wants us to take rest in Him. He knows that the human nature is weak, the more the human try to achieve and conquer, the more he gets shaken off by the world. Humans have a limit till he can run, till he can squeeze himself for the selfish motives of pride and superiority, after which this humans will be spit out.

"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men"- Mathew 5:13

God wishes that, let the human rest in Him with all our weaknesses and let God act for him or her, such that humans are a plate that carry God to serve His love for all. When we extend Gods wish to all the areas of our life....we see a marvel. When we go for work, it is not that we go but God. When we see others, we never see them but God. When we do something for others, it is not that we do, but God. We are reflecting God where ever we go. This is what He asks us to enter 'rest' in Him. When we do this we find ourselves in the state that Paul said,

'I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Galatians 2:20

We are the echo of the Lord. So we must need His voice in us always then only we can echo. Our heart and mind should be empty and pure to fill in completely with His voice. Then only we can reverberate perfectly.

 Even if we preach or advice Gods message we sometimes find ourselves unfruitful, God says, We must hear His voice first and walk in His ways shown by God to us, then only our fellow can hear us.  We must hear and follow His ways on the first hand and then lead our brothers and sisters towards this love, then only they can hear us.

Hence in this month of Rosary let us pray to Mother Mary,

Oh our dear Mother of God,  help us to rest ourselves in God as You did and find joy in it. Intercede for us to guide us along the path of true love of God and hear His voice, let His words break the hard heart of ours, and be the echo of God, reflecting Him everywhere. 

In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Amen.

Psalms 119

Mathew 11:27-30                              

"Who had the power to sin and didn’t,and could do evil but didn’t?"......

"Happy are the rich
who are without blame
    and who don’t follow after gold.
9 Who are they,
so that we might praise them?
    They have done wonders
    among the people.
10 Who has been tested by wealth
and been found perfect?
        For them it will be a reason to boast.
    Who had the power to sin and didn’t,
    and could do evil but didn’t?
11 The possessions of such people
will be secure,
    and the congregation will tell
    of their acts of charity."- Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 31:8-11

  The verses that stands out is "Who had the power to sin and didn’t,

    and could do evil but didn’t?" can we do this in our life? There is temptations and chances that our mind slips off to small things that make us sin. Let us be vigilant in all times and ask Gods wisdom to fill us in our mind and thoughts so that we stay in connection with our Father always and He will give us power to win over such situations, transforming us each day to a pure creation ,Gods Dear ones.

CLOSER TO GOD

" Draw near to God and He will draw near to you"

                                                                   -James 4:8

The first thing that we have to do ,if we feel lost in Gods care is to check ourselves. We must examine our status, how far we are from God? When we try to dig out answer for this, we come to realize that, it was us who went far away from the love and care of God. 
Let us try this together in prayer, leading to realizations and humbling ourself through confession, breaking the boulders of actions in our way to God and gaining the freedom as the son and daughter of God the Father.If we feel lost from Gods love,stop what you are doing, give a rest to what is troubling your mind and think:

1. About our actions and activities that we did in our life that was not in union with Gods wish. Try to recollect the times that we did something that resulted in the loss of our unity with God. Scan our past days, to find out our chores that we did according to our own will and not with the wish of God. Once we realize this,let us say sorry, humble ourselves in confession, destroying all the claims of satan upon us due to our unrighteousness and get closer to God.

2. " Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them." 1John 2:15        By loving something in the world means, we are building an idol of the world in our heart and is longing for it, this reduces the love of our eternal Father in us. Everything in this world is created by our Father in  Heaven, and He has given it to us. Hence while in the world we must use everything of this world according to Our Fathers wish, giving thanks and praises to Him. So that we receive everything from His hand Pure and holy.

3. Seek for God sincerely in Our heart and then He will act for us.

"“Do you want to get well?”

 “Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me.”

Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.”  At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked." John 5:6-9

4. The one who does not commit sin, even though there was good conditions for him to sin, due to the love of God in him, such persons will be loved and honored by God. Let us stand aloof from sin with the power of God in us that keeps us vigilant always through Holy Spirit.

Let us completely submit to Gods hands and ward off the worldly human. Let us reflect Gods love from us. Let God take our control and Mother Mary teach us the complete submission and humbleness and guide us and pray for us in our journey to God and Jesus. 

" Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." Mathew 5:48

Prayer

God our father, you know we are weak,help us to realize our ways and guide us to point it to you.Mother Mary help us guide us and pray for us in our life's journey and lead us in right way to Jesus love. Amen

Psalms 119:33-64

The Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary

-Mother Mary leads us to Jesus through Her prayers and intercession and guidance all our times and in hour of our death. Mother Mary has no prayer or wish of Her own, She intercedes for us in accordance with Lord Almighty and Jesus. The intercession She did in the wedding of Cana,

" His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”- John 2:5

-Mother Mary shows the perfect submission to God and with full proof belief in Him

"And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant[f] of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her"Luke 1:38

-In Mary's song of praise, we find Her glorifying the Lord for everything She is ,

Mary's Song of Praise

 And Mary said,

“My soul magnifies the Lord,
     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,

for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
    For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
    and holy is his name.
 And his mercy is for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
 He has shown strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted those of humble estate;
 he has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent away empty.
 He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his mercy,
 as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”Luke 1:46-55

- Mary Mother lived in silence of holiness. Right from the revelation of the birth of Jesus, till Calvary, when Mother held Jesus's body in her hand we can see this silence. Which made Her serene and peaceful love of God.

" But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."Luke 2:19

-The Ultimate sufferer.

Mother Mary through out her life, lived in the memories and thoughts of Jesus. Each incidents that happened in Jesus life, She joined together to form the perfect Rosary, which She recited as intercession for us sinners, to lead us to Jesus.

-The Mother that Jesus gave us through Lord Almighty.

"When Jesus then saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, "Woman, behold, your son!" Then He said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" From that hour the disciple took her into his own household.-John 19:26-27

We are all with this Mother. Jesus, when ascended to heaven gave us a friend 'The Holy Spirit' and a dear Mother 'Mary', so that we are never alone in this world. We must realize this and be in Her love and care with the Holy Spirit speaking to us how to reach Jesus nearer and nearer each day.

-The dear daughter of Lord. Mother Mary lived purely. She lived in spirit, controlling the weaknesses of the human body. Each weaknesses she submitted to Lord and gained strength from Him will full belief. This made God to crown Her for us to intercede and guide us in our weaknesses.

"And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars" Revelation 12:1

In this day of Assumption of Blessed Virgin Mary, let us understand our Mothers love to us and the continuous prayers that She is interceding for us. Mother Mary is the one who rows our life through all the struggles of this world, helping us to reach safely to our Lord and eternity.

Prayer

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
