PRAYER FOR PEACE

Immaculate Heart of Mary, help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in our hearts of the people today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths toward the future.

From famine and war, deliver us. From nuclear war, from incalculable self-destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us. From sins against human life from its very beginning, deliver us. From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us. From every kind of injustice in the life of society, both national and international, deliver us. From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us. From attempts to stifle in human hearts the very truth of God, deliver us. From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us. From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us.

Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies.

Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin; individual sin and the “sin of the world,” sin in all its manifestations.

Let there be revealed once more in the history of the world the infinite saving power of merciful love.

May it put a stop to evil, may it put a stop to war. May it transform consciences, May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope. Amen.

Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice’s sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when men reproached you, and persecute you, and speaking falsely, say all manner of evil against you, for My sake.

CHAPLET OF MERCY

Tuck me in Your Love

Lay your veil of love on our forehead and let us see the love shining in each person's heart. With this veil, we need not speak of love but show it to whoever needs love the most. May your veil of love upon us be a reminder of your love and to share it as you have shown to us without any condition and questions. May we be the bearer of your love to others and to our self. For if love is not present, the world will be filled with hate: thus a victory for the evil. 

O Mary, my mother, please tuck me in Your love.

O Mary, conceived without sin - pray for us who have recourse to thee...

The Blessed Virgin Mary: Her Privileges and Relation to Christ and His Church

The Blessed Virgin Mary: Her Privileges and Relation to Christ and His Church

by Father William G. Most
According to a late tradition, the parents of Our Lady, the Blessed Virgin Mary, were St. Joachim and St. Anne, natives of Bethlehem who lived in Nazareth.
Mother of God
Mary's most fundamental privilege is that of being the Mother of God. We do not mean she produced the divine nature, of course. But her Son is God, so she is the Mother of God. Similarly, Mrs. Jones shares only in the production of the body of her son John, not at all in the making of his soul. Yet we do not say she is mother of the body of John Jones, but of John Jones, the person. Pius XI quoted St. Thomas Aquinas with approval in saying that "From the fact that she is the Mother of God, she has a sort of infinite dignity from the infinite good that God is. (Lux veritatis, Dec. 25, 1931, citing St. Thomas, Summa Theologiae I. 25. 6. ad 4).
Mary conceived her son by the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35). The Archangel first told her that her Son was to be the Son of the Most High. However, any devout Jew could be called a son of God. But there was more: the angel told her He would reign over the house of Jacob forever: right then she would know He was to be the Messiah, for Jews then commonly believed the Messiah would reign forever. Finally, the angel said He would be conceived when the Holy Spirit would "overshadow" her. That word, she would know, was the one use to describe the Divine Presence filling the ancient Tabernacle in the desert (Exodus 40:35). Her Son was to be called Son of God "for this reason". So that He was the Son of God in a unique sense. From this alone she likely knew of His divinity, especially when she would add the words of Isaiah 9:5-6 that the Messiah would be "God the Mighty". Even though the Jews found that text hard, she, full of grace, would readily grasp it.
Ever Virgin
So this was a virginal conception, that is, without the intervention of a man. Both Matthew and Luke make this clear. If we believe the Gospels, we will understand that readily. The teaching of the Church, already in the oldest creeds, which call her "ever-virgin," tells us she remained a virgin during and after His birth. Some have tried to say the teaching on her virginity was not physical, but just a way of expressing her holiness. But it is more than that: Vatican II (Lumen Gentium # 57) wrote that His birth "did not diminish, but consecrated her virginal integrity." That word "integrity" refers to physical condition.
Therefore when the Gospels speak of the "brothers and sisters" of Jesus, they do not mean other children of Mary. The Hebrew words were very broad, could cover any sort of relationship. For that matter, modern English uses these words even more broadly for members of fraternities and sororities.
Immaculate Conception
As a result of this Divine Motherhood, because it was fitting for Her Son, she obtained the great grace of the Immaculate Conception, defined by Pius IX in 1854. This means that from the first instant of conception her soul had sanctifying grace, a share in God's own life, given in anticipation of the future merits of her Son.
The angel's greeting to Mary is traditionally translated "Hail, full of grace," but this has been disputed in modern times. Vatican II, Pope John Paul II and others understand the Greek of Luke 1:28, kecharitomene, to mean "full of grace". The word is a perfect participle, a very strong form. The root verb, charitoo, means to put someone into the state of grace/favor. And especially, the word is used instead of her name, in direct address. This is like saying someone is Mr. Tennis--the ultimate in tennis. So she is Miss Grace, the ultimate in grace. Pius IX, in defining the Immaculate Conception, said that even at the start, her holiness was so great that "none greater under God can be thought of, and no one but God can comprehend it"!
Cooperation in the Redemption
One of the oldest teachings of the Church is that Mary is the New Eve. Just as the first Eve really contributed to the disaster of original sin, so Mary the New Eve really contributed to removing it, that is, to redeeming us. She was Mother of the Redeemer precisely insofar as He is our Redeemer. Every Pope since Leo XIII, and Vatican II, in seventeen documents have said that her role in redeeming us extends even to a part in the great sacrifice of Calvary itself! It is a general principle, that if something is taught repeatedly by the Church, even on a level less than a definition, the teaching is infallible.
Vatican II, echoing earlier papal teaching, tells us that at the cross she was asked even to "consent" to the death of her Son (LG # 58). Pope John Paul II, in his Encyclical, The Mother of the Redeemer, set out to further deepen that teaching (as he tells us in his Guardian of the Redeemer[on St. Joseph]). He showed that this was the "deepest self-emptying in history" for her and her Son. In in it, Mary practiced "the obedience of faith". Now since all perfection lies in positively willing what God wills whenever we know His positive will, it is clear that Mary was called on to positively will that her Son die, die then, die so horribly. She had to will this in spite of a love for her Son so great that "only God can comprehend it"--for Pius IX had said, as we saw above that her holiness was that great even at the start. But holiness and love of God are interchangeable words. So in willing the death of her Divine Son, it is clear that her suffering was such that "no one but God could comprehend it."
Mediatrix of All Graces
As we would expect, having shared at immense cost in earning all graces, she shares similarly in distributing all of them as Mediatrix of all graces. This truth too has been taught numerous times by a long series of Popes--every Pope from Leo XIII through John XXIII.
Assumption and Queenship
At the end of her earthly life, Mary was taken up (assumed) into heaven, body and soul. Pius XII, in defining the Assumption, explained that "Just as the glorious resurrection of Christ was an essential part and final sign of this victory [over sin and death by Calvary] so that struggle [Calvary] which was common to the Blessed Virgin and her Son, had to be closed by the glorification of her virginal body". That is, the struggle, a work common to the two was a common cause. It brought Him glorification; it had to bring the same to her. (In all this it is understood she is subordinate to Him, and really depends on Him for all her ability to do anything at all).
As a result, just as He is now King of the Universe, she is Queen of the Universe. "And her kingdom is as vast as that of her Son and God, since nothing is excluded from her dominion" (Pius XII, Bendito seia, May 13, 1946).
Vatican II
Chapter 8 Vatican II's Constitution on the Church is entirely on her. In it the Council goes through in detail her association with Him. She is eternally joined with Him in the eternal decree for the Incarnation. She will remain eternally joined to Him as Queen in His Kingdom. And the council went through in detail every one of the mysteries of His life and death, showing in each case her close association with Him. The place the Father gave her is really all-pervading, in His approach to us. In writing this, Vatican II wrote more extensively about her, went farther theologically than all previous Councils combined! In spite of talk that it downgraded her, it was the opposite. Vatican II could really be called the Marian Council.
Spiritual Motherhood
On the floor of the Council, Pope Paul VI declared Mary Mother of the Church. This was not entirely new. Pius XII, in a message to the Marian Congress of Ottawa, Canada, on July 19, 1947 said: "When the little maid of Nazareth uttered her fiat to the message of the angel... she became not only the Mother of God in the physical order of nature, but also in the supernatural order of grace, she became the Mother of all, who... would be made one under the Headship of her Son. The Mother of the Head would be the Mother of the members."

A CHILD'S PRAYER TO THE IMMACULATE HEART OF MARY

O Most Holy Virgin Mother, 
we listen with grief to the complaints 
of your Immaculate Heart 
surrounded with the thorns placed therein 
at every moment by the blasphemies 
and ingratitude of ungrateful humanity. 
We are moved by the ardent desire of loving you as Our Mother 
and of promoting a true devotion to your Immaculate Heart.

We therefore kneel before you 
to manifest the sorrow we feel 
for the grievances that people cause you, 
and to atone by our prayers and sacrifices 
for the offenses with which they return return your love. 
Obtain for them and for us the pardon of so many sins. 
Hasten the conversion of sinners 
that they may love Jesus 
and cease to offend the Lord, 
already so much offended. 
Turn your eyes of mercy toward us, 
that we may love God with all our heart on earth 
and enjoy Him forever in heaven.

Amen.

Follow Jesus

Many follow Jesus to the breaking of bread but few followed when it's time to drink the chalice of passion - saving us from sin. Many venerate Him for miracles performed but few take up their cross and let Jesus carry it alone.
Doesn't it sound like many love Jesus in time of prosperity and stay away when face with adversity? Is it like praising Him and adoring Him when we receive consolation and distant our self when wishes were  not granted even if it meant He loved us, so as to keep us from harm?
God is love, trust in Him like the way Mother Mary trusted His words even if it is impossible to understand.

We welcome the new year 2013 with a new hope and expectations. We hope the year 2013 will bring us peace together with good health and good luck. We hope for abundant blessings from above, blessings that we need in our life to make it complete. Blessings that we will treasure because it fills our spirit to grow in grace and blessings of wisdom to know the difference of right and wrong in our daily decisions. 


Arouse us from our stillness and encourage us to consider the shining examples of sanctity which are seen in the life of Jesus, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, of the Apostles, Martyrs, all Saints and Confessors who have achieved perfection. 

May we strive to search for the secret way to become perfect or at least close to perfection for God is the one and only perfect.

The Blessed Virgin Mary bless you all with Her motherly love.

Year 2013 will be here

Today is the last day of the year 2012 and the link to the new year that is unfolding in less than a day, as year 2013 will be here soon. There is no stopping as it will arrive as planned.

Looking back, the year has been a mixed of everything - Good and bad, from happiness to loneliness, excitement at times, devastation during certain circumstances, experiencing joy in a profound way and love that is within each heart who acknowledge that love still exists in a world covered with pain. This year may become our mirror to ask oneself what is missing in this existence?  Why we have witnessed violence in so many ways and is disheartening to everyone.  

It is about time we surrender it all to God. As the year ends, we offer it in the altar and start anew. Let us remember that we survived this year through it all. It is a blessing.

Start the new year with a new anticipation. New ME - a new faith that is burning with love for God, a new mind that is focus on knowing, serving and loving God, a new soul that is living a life in accordance to God's ways and everything will fall in the right palce.

Mother Mary will always be looking down on us, cradle us when we are afraid, and strengthen us with Her love when we falter. She never fails to encourage anyone who wish to get closer to Her Son, Jesus.

Prayer of the day

Bestow upon me, O Jesus, that interior peace, which is full of hope and renders us of Your grace during this joyous season while Mother Mary remind us to be faithful in corresponding with your wonderful love for us. May that peace whose companions are the spirit of poverty while you lay in a manger, humility of heart from recognizing Your will and freedom from all earthly attachments increase our faith as we welcome the new year that is unfolding in a few days. Grant that my passions be subject to reason, my reason to faith and I to God. Amen.
