Sadly, even the greatest intercessor, can sometimes be forgotten. I make it a point to always include our holy Mother Mary as I journal with you in every podcast. Mary is so very worthy of remembrance! The holy mother of God. Mary, Stella Maris! The Star of the Sea, watching over every one of God's children, morning, noon, and night. We rely on her fully to hear our cry for help when help is truly needed. Mary, the Mother of our Lord, our Mother too, we revere you in a very special way as we are reminded of the suffering of her only son. Perhaps we can all look into this very special time during Lent, through magnified lenses. To awaken our senses. To see the suffering of our holy mother, as she watched her only son, so greatly endure pain beyond measure. Just maybe all death was meant to be a time of suffering and a time of great purification. Something only God can explain to us when we meet him face to face. Unfortunately, there is so very little known about Mary and so many other important Christians who have historically enriched the faithful. As I try my very best to delve even deeper in finding pertinent information for us to know and share about the Woman whom was chosen to be perfect in every way, The woman we would later come to know and desire to be in the company of with every Hail Mary we recite.
The Mother of Jesus! Whatever years our good Lord provides for me as a Catholic Writer, I would hope to accomplish bringing forth great news about Mary. All holy women desire to be holy like Mary. During daily, holy, mass, I sometimes close my eyes and I see shadows of a woman's face almost in 3D, and a mans face, I have absolutely no doubt in my mind, my Lord, and my Holy Mother Mary are present with me, at every daily consecration, every moment I consume the Holy Eucharist. They are in communion with me and all the Saints. When our Lord presents them to me, I can see them both depicted in dark shadows, almost chromatic, larger than life, they reveal them self separately and at different times and yet both are truly beautiful depictions of holiness. Sometimes I can only see their dark skin, the shape of a large nose and accentuated lips. Sometimes the visions are repeated, and they remain a holy mystery but one that I welcome at every mass. One day God will make it very clear to me who those beautiful faces are, and why they long to reveal them self to me. And I know I will rejoice when they decide to make their presence known. I have the idea in my head that for the past 33 years I have been a true prayer warrior. I have picked up where my late great grandmother had left off. Praying without ceasing. Praying for people who need prayer, who need God, who need faith, who need and crave the absolute truth of their existence. Prayer. It does something wonderful inside of a human being. Prayer washes away a multitude of sin. Prayer, is the best answer to any dilemma a human can face. If anything else I hope and pray to accomplish this day in Christ fully alive in Mary. If I can bring one soul back to Christ through prayer, my work is accomplished in Mary's vineyard. Please take a moment and enter into the silence and invite our holy Mother to pray with you. It can be a short prayer. Simple words genuinely spoken from the heart reaches our Mother. Don't be afraid to surrender in love to Mary. Your life is worth living and your life is very precious in the eyes of our holy Mother. Call on her daily. Invite her as you begin your day and she will bless everything in your life. Fear not my child, for you are very dear to her, and she is waiting to receive your Yes, your invitation to enter into the greatest life!
