Mary Vitamin for Christmas Eve
Topic: The Blessed Virgin Mary's Faith at Christmas
Quote:
"[S]he is the mother of faith: 'I am the mother of fair love, and of fear, and of knowledge, and of holy hope.'"(Ecclesiastes 24:24)
St. Alphonsus di Liguori, The Glories of Mary, (Tan Books), 480.
Meditation:
"Father Suarez says, that the most holy Virgin had more faith than all men and angels. She saw her Son in the crib of Bethlehem , and believed him the creator of the world. She saw Him fly from Herod, and yet believed Him the King of kings. She saw Him born and believed Him eternal. She saw Him poor and in need of food, and believed Him the Lord of the universe. She saw Him lying on straw, and believed him omnipotent. She observed that He did not speak, and she believed him infinite wisdom. She heard Him weep, and believed Him the joy of Paradise . In fine, she saw him in death, despised and crucified, and, although, faith wavered in others, Mary remained firm in the belief that He was God."
St. Alphonsus di Liguori, The Glories of Mary, (Tan Books), 481.
Resolution:
Dear Mother of my Jesus and Mother of Faith,
Today I want to strive to live in the presence of God by asking for this grace. I am poor in faith, help me to create the life of faith in my heart. I renew my consecration and tap into your soul present in my little soul. Mold my faith to yours. Help me to be faith filled, good, and with God. I resolve today to pray often for faith and to live in the presence of God.
Marian Vow:
St. Louis de Montfort
"As it was through Mary that God came into the world the first time in a state of self-abasement and privation, may we not say that it will be again through Mary that he will come the second time?"
The Secret of Mary, paragraph #58
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
