Mary, Teach Us to Love

God's Blue Book III Cover

June 26, 1994

R. So many sins we commit are with the tongue, yet Jesus chooses to enter our bodies through our mouth. Who am I that He comes to me and I receive the one, true, God-made man? How much I must do that displeases Him! I do not know how I offend Him with my selfish ways. I do not know that I hurt my brothers. I am blind. I pray to You, Holy Spirit, open my eyes so I can see with Your eyes and love my brothers more and more each day. Jesus, teach me to love. Mary, place me in your Immaculate Heart and help me to love more like Jesus and like you. Father, my beloved Father, You are my God, I love You so! Thank You for creating me in Your own image. Help me to know Your fatherly love. Help me to love You more and more.

Oh, I am a creature! You are God! I want to love You, God, more and more. Help me to know, Mary, how to love my precious God more. Place me in the Heart of Jesus and surround me with your own Immaculate Heart. I do not deserve such love, but I am forever grateful to You, three Persons in one God. Praise You. Worship You. I fill You with such honor and praise from my humble heart. Make my heart humble. Wash away my pride. Cleanse me in my heart with a bath of love, flushing out all impurities. Oh, Jesus, Mary, Joseph, teach me the ways of the heart.

Mary touched so tenderly her infant son. She held Him so close to her body and loved Him. Joseph loved Mary and Jesus so very much.

She held Jesus and mothered Him with such tender love. She also loves us.

Oh, Joseph, you loved Jesus and Mary so. Help me to love them more. I love you, oh, Holy Family. Open my heart to experience the love of such a holy family. Help me to join my heart to the union of mother and Son and Son and mother. Help me to know you, St. Joseph, and your patient love, more.

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Saint Augustine

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
