[MaryVitamin] Ocean of Grace

Mary Vitamin for June 3rd

 

Topic: Ocean of Grace

 

Quote:

St. Bonaventure

"[S]he is not merely a fountain, she is an ocean; she is not merely full of grace, but full of God Himself, and of all the plenitude of the Most Holy Trinity."

Binet,  Divine Favors Granted to Saint Joseph, (Tan Books), 104.

Meditation:

"As St. Peter Damian says, the plenitude of Divinity has descended into her; and St. Chrysostom adds: 'You speak to us of a brook, of a rivulet of water, while we speak to you of an abyss which has neither bottom nor shore.'"

Père Binet,  Divine Favors Granted to Saint Joseph, (Tan Books), 104.

Resolution:

This is what I need! An ocean of grace to keep me from falling. Today to keep me full of God, I will tap into the ocean of grace which pours from Our Lady. Today, at least one time (or in a time of great need) I will think

of Our Lady inundating my soul with grace from Her fullness of God.

 

Marian Vow:

St. Maximilian Kolbe

"Every conversion, every step on the road to 

sanctification, is a fruit of grace. Even cooperation with grace is a grace itself without God's grace nothing is possible. The Mediatrix of All Graces is the Immaculata. The more one draws close to her, the more graces he receives."

Will to Love,(Marytown Press), 116

 

I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

 

Thanks be to God for graces received.
