Mary Vitamin for December 3rd
Topic: Padre Pio and the First Step in Our Salvation
Quote:
St. Padre Pio prays to Our Lady,
"I beseech you, to pour out on me at least a little of the grace that flowed into you with such infinite profusion from the Heart of God."
Meditation Prayer on Mary Immaculate
Meditation:
St. Padre Pio
"All is darkness compared to the pure light that renews all creation through Him Whom she bore in her womb, as the dew on the rose. The Immaculate Conception is the first step in our salvation. Through this singular and unique gift Mary received a profusion of Divine Grace, and through her cooperation she became worthy of absorbing infinitely more.
My most pure Mother, my soul so poor, all stained with wretchedness and sin cries out to your maternal heart. In your goodness deign, I beseech you to pour out on me at least a little of the grace that flowed into you with such infinite profusion from the Heart of God. Strengthened and supported by this grace, may I succeed in better loving and serving Almighty God Who filled your heart completely, and Who created the temple of your body from the moment of your Immaculate Conception."
Meditation Prayer on Mary Immaculate
Resolution:
Padre Pio was given an exalted vocation: A priest who bore the stigmata. In his concern for living up to the gifts that he was given, he turned humbly to the Blessed Virgin, his Mother. To live up to my vocation today, I will imitate St. Padre Pio and turn to Our Lady and ask her to pour out on me at least a little of her grace.
Marian Vow:
"An evangelical life organized according to the holy Gospel and totally animated by seraphic love for God and neighbor, after the example of the Seraphic Father and the Franciscan Saints, has to be constantly sustained by 'vigilance and prayer' (cf. Mt 26,41), centered daily about the Eucharist and the rosary, committed to the Liturgy of the Hours and meditation, absorbed in recollection and prayer of intercession for the Church and for souls, ever one with the 'Virgin at prayer' (MC 18)."
Marian Seraphic Pathways, Traccia #3 Life of Prayer
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
