Mary Vitamin for March 16th
Topic: Imitate St. Joseph (March 19th)
Quote:
"Open the heart of Joseph, and you will find therin the faithful copies, the perfect imitations of the sublime virtues of his adopted son Jesus, and of his blessed spouse Mary."
Pere Binet, The Divine Favors of St. Joseph, (Tan Books), 38.
Meditation:
"Great were also the graces which Joseph derived from his constant communion with his most holy spouse. His eyes were always directed towards her and Jesus, studying their conduct, imitating, so to speak, their every action."
Pere Binet, The Divine Favors of St. Joseph, (Tan Books), 38.
Resolution:
Today, when I tap my heart to renew my consecration to Our Lady, I will pray for the grace that St. Joseph posseses, the grace of having Our Lady and her virtues imprinted on my heart.
Marian Vow:
"Near Mary you will apply yourself quite instinctively to renew and to live your entire consecration to her. You will feel your filial love growing greater day by day; you will find it easy to obey all her desires,even in the least; you will become skillful in divining the marks of veneration that will please her most; you will spontaneously put yourself to the task of imitating her virtues and her dispostions; you will experience an invincible confidence in her maternal goodness."
Fr. Emil Neubert, S.M., My Ideal Jesus Son of Mary,(Tan Books) 40.
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
