Mary Vitamin for June 5th
Topic: Our Lady of the Holy Trinity
Quote:
John Paul II
"She is the way that leads to Christ: indeed, she who "at the message of the angel received the Word of God in her heart and in her body" (Lumen gentium, n. 53) shows us how to receive into our lives the Son come down from heaven, teaching us to make Jesus the centre and the supreme "law" of our existence."
Meditation:
St. Margaret Mary Alacoque teaches us what it means to have an extraordinary contact with the Holy Trinity.
"Our Lord still continues to favour me with His graces, and once, being overcome with exhaustion, I received what seemed to me, and incomparable favour. The Three Persons of the Adorable Trinity presented themselves to me and filled my soul with inexpressible consolation. But I cannot well explain what then occurred, except that it seemed to me the Eternal Father presented me with a very heavy cross beset with thorns and surrounded with various instruments of the Passion and said to me: 'See, My daughter, I make thee the same present which I made to my Beloved Son.' 'And I' said Our Lord Jesus Christ 'will fasten thee to the cross as I Myself was fastened to it and will bear thee faithful company.' The Third Adorable Person then said, that, being Love Itself, He would purify and consume me thereon My soul was filled with unutterable peace and joy, and the impression made upon it by the Divine Persons has never been effaced."
Autobiography of Saint Margaret Mary, (Tan Books)#59.
Resolution:
I will ask at least one time in front of my religious image of Our Lady:
Show me how to embrace and love my Cross and be filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit making God the center of my existence.
Show me how to embrace and love my Cross and be filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit making God the center of my existence.
Marian Vow:
In honor my vow of total and unlimited consecration I will pray this prayer from the EWTN site today:
I greet you, Ever-blessed Virgin, Mother of God, Throne of Grace, miracle of Almighty Power! I greet you,
Sanctuary of the Most Holy Trinity and Queen of the
Universe, Mother of Mercy and refuge of
sinners!
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
