Mary My Mother
Dear Brs and Srs, Today is the Feast of Immaculate Conception. A feast everyone ponder when it is touch the hearts of the faithful servants of Mary. When we were not knowing Mary we were not the true Christians. Once we know Jesus and understand the mysteries of salvation then we will start knowing Mary, Apostles and communion of saints. How beauty it shall be, when all the angels and saints praising God in one voice, Glory to God on Most High. Then we will find the peace in Him.
Oh Mary you are the Mother Of God The Son
Today Lord has taken you to Heaven
To make you Queen Of Heaven and earth
You are giving us the joy in this world by accompanying you
Oh Mother, pray for all of us to bless with grace
To know Jesus, Heavenly Father and the Holy Spirit
Oh Mother your heart has listened the Word from God
The Word became flesh in your womb
The Angel told you, Hail full of grace
Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among women
Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son:
And thou shalt call his name Jesus
Mary said to Angel 'You see before you the Lord’s servant,
Let it happen to me as you have said.’ And the angel left her. Lk 1....
Oh Mother your womb is blessed, as you received God in Spirit and flesh
A woman in the crowd raised her voice and said,
‘Blessed the womb that bore you and the breasts that fed you!’
But he replied, ‘More blessed still are those who hear the word of God and keep it!’
Oh Mother, pray for us to listen His Word and ponder in our heart
As you treasured the Word of God in your heart
Lord tells us to listen His Word by trembling, with humble and contrite heart
Help us to have faith from hearing, by hearing the Word of Christ your Son
Pray for us as you said, ‘You see before you the Lord’s servant,
Let it happen to me as you have said.’
Simeon a upright man was waiting in his old age to see see Christ the Lord,
As it was revealed to him by the Holy Spirt that he will Jesus before his death
He loudly acclaim, Now, Master, you are letting your servant go in peace
As you promised; for my eyes have seen the salvation
Which you have made ready in the sight of the nations;
A light of revelation for the gentiles and glory for your people Israel
Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,
‘Look, he is destined for the fall and for the rise of many in Israel,
He will be destined to be a sign that is opposed
And a sword will pierce your soul too'
You carried this pain of the prophesy by Simeon till the death of Jesus
Oh Mary our Mother at least we do not adulterate the word of God,
As so many do, but it is in all purity,
Let us speak the Truth as envoys of God and in God’s presence,
Oh Mother pray for us that we always speak of Crucified Christ
Oh Mary, you were chosen by God with full of Grace
The Truth, Jesus Christ came through you, chosen by Heavenly Father
Elisabeth, said with a loud cry:
Why should I be honoured with a visit from the mother of my Lord?
Look, the moment your greeting reached my ears,
The child in my womb leapt for joy.
Yes, blessed is she who believed that the promise
Made her by the Lord would be fulfilled.’
Mary was not taken any glory of the Lord for herself
But she said: My soul glorify the Lord,
My Spirit rejoice in God my saviour
He looks on his servant in her lowliness
Henceforth all ages will called me blessed
Oh Lord, how much I am blessed with your mercy
You were given me your Mother as my own mother
Lord, you were given me the Holy Spirit, the Fire of Grace
Through her intercession, Who were hidden from my knowledge
I asked Lord, how can I see him to know the truth
Jesus you are the truth as you taught me,
I asked the Lord, teach me how to pray
I was lamented with loud cry,
I wish I could see Mary to know she is the Mother
In the middle of the night, I went into a trance or a dream
I was kneeling on my bed and could see a heavenly light
And I could see two hands raised into Heaven
Between the hands I could see the sparkling and glittering Host
I knew it was Jesus holding Eucharist in his hands
Right side of his hands I could see Mother Mary covering her head with a veil
I just started crying and no words were required to understand
Jesus is the Truth and Mary His Mother as well as my Mother
In that night I could not sleep and I was just crying and crying
Lord, you revealed all of my sins of the past and the present
Oh Mother, you were worried about your children
You wish to present many many souls to the Lord
For within her is a spirit intelligent,
She is holy and unique, manifold and subtle,
She is mobile, incisive, unsullied, lucid, invulnerable, benevolent and shrewd,
She is irresistible, beneficent, friendly to human beings, steadfast,
She is dependable, unperturbed, almighty, all-surveying,
She is penetrating all intelligent, pure and most subtle spirits.
For Wisdom is quicker to move than any motion;
She is so pure, she pervades and permeates all things.
She is a breath of the power of God, pure image of the glory of the Almighty;
So nothing impure can find its way into her.
For she is a reflection of the eternal light, of the Lord Almighty
She is untarnished mirror of God’s active power, and image of His goodness.
Although she is alone, she can do everything;
She is unchanging, she renews the world.
She renews the generations after generation passing into holy souls,
She makes them into God’s friends and prophets;
She is the one who is inspired the saints
She helps them by praying and intercede for them without fail
God loves only those who dwell with Wisdom.
She is indeed more splendid than the sun, she outshines all the constellations;
If we compared her with light, she takes first place,
For light must yield tonight, but against Wisdom evil cannot prevail.
How can I forget her visit to my home
With A pleasant and beautiful face
Looked at me and poured her peaceful gaze upon me
Who am I to be honoured by the Mother of my Lord.
You are our Mother standing in the Sanctuary of our Lord,
On your right stands the queen, in garments of gold.
Mother, you stand reverently stand beside the Alter
Where the Priest do the Sacrifice Of Holy Mass
She is wearing the cloth in Gold of Ophir
Her dress was sparkling pure gold like clear glass
She is New Jerusalem our Mother the City Of our God
Lord loves his city, He prefers the gates of Zion a dwelling-place in Jacob.
Oh Mother, why you stand beside the Alter
How can you omit this Most Holy and great Sacrifice
A Sacrifice every moment is repeated of your Son
In every Alters in the churches of this world
Then I have seen a great trembling scene in a trance during Holy Mass
I could see a serpent, a dragon, with fiery tongue with wide open mouth
Then Mother Mary appeared in a sparkling gold dress just right side of other Alter
Mother's gown was so big and she thought to hide serpent under her feet
Mother tried to hide the serpent till the Holy Mass is over
She hid the Serpent under her feet and covered him by her habit
But Satan was not obeying our Mother Instead he took out his head
She lifted her left leg, press it on his head, blood was coming out from his mouth
Mother Mary was standing erect on his head till the serpent took his breath at last
Lord, every sacrifice of Holy Mass is precious than anything in this world
It is the experience of Heaven coming down to earth,
Worshiping God in a worthy manner
Mother Mary, Apostles, all the Angels and saints
All are together comes to attend this Most Holy Sacrifice of Mass
Mother, you are always there to participate and guard your sons and daughters
Whom your Son has given to you to protect
Then the Creator of all things instructed wisdom
He who created her fixed a place for my tent.
He said, “Pitch your tent in Jacob, make Israel your inheritance.”
From eternity, in the beginning, he created her and for eternity She shall remain.
In the holy tent she ministered before him and she became established in Zion.
In the beloved city he has given me rest, and in Jerusalem I wield my authority
I have taken root In a privileged people, in the Lord’s property, in his inheritance.
Mother you were given all the wealth of world to glorify God's name.
Look! though night still covers the earth and darkness the peoples,
On her Lord is rising and over her His glory can be seen.
The nations will come to her light and kings to her dawning brightness.
Lift up your eyes and look around: all are assembling and coming towards you,
Oh Mother, your sons are coming from far away and daughters being carried on the hip.
At this sight you will grow radiant, your heart will throb and dilate,
since the riches of the sea will flow to you, the wealth of the nations come to you;
Foreigners will rebuild your walls and their kings will serve you.
For though I struck you in anger, in mercy I have pitied you.
Your gates will always be open, never closed, either day or night,
Lord, All the temples of the earth in her name will be brought the riches of the nations Lord, the Kings and the queens will come to visit Your Temple in her name (Is 60:.....)
For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you will perish,
And the nations will be utterly destroyed.
Your oppressors’ children will humbly approach you,
At your feet all who despised you will fall (Is 60:....)
Oh Mother, all will addressing you as ‘City of Yahweh’, ‘Zion of the Holy One of Israel’.
Instead of your being forsaken and hated, avoided by everyone,
Lord will make you an object of eternal pride, a source of joy from age to age.
You will call your walls ‘Salvation’ and your gates ‘Praise’. (Is 60:...)
No more will the sun give you daylight, nor moonlight shine on you,
But Lord will be your everlasting light, your God will be your splendour.
Your sun will set no more nor will your moon wane,
For Lord will be your everlasting light and your days of mourning will be over.
Your people, all of them upright, will possess the country for ever,
The shoot I myself have planted, my handiwork, for my own glory.
The smallest will grow into a thousand, the weakest one into a mighty nation.
When the time is ripe, I, Yahweh, shall quickly bring it about.
Lord, this was the promise to your nations to bring Your own Son
Through Mary the Mother of all graces and your wisdom
Oh Mother, you are the New Ark of the Covenant
Whoever approach you will see Son of God in its fullness
'The Lord will give you a sign in any case:
The young woman is with child and will give birth to a son
Whom she will call Immanuel' (Is 7: ....)
Then the sanctuary of God in heaven opened,
The ark of the covenant could be seen inside it.
Now a great sign appeared in heaven:
A woman, robed with the sun, standing on the moon,
And on her head a crown of twelve stars, she is our Mother
She was pregnant, and in labour, crying aloud in the pangs of childbirth.
As soon as the dragon found himself hurled down to the earth,
He sprang in pursuit of the woman, the mother of the male child,
But she was given a pair of the great eagle’s wings, the full of grace
To fly away from the serpent into the desert,
To the place where she was to be looked after for a time, two times and half a time. (Rev12:....)
Satan was always against Mother Mary and the Holy Eucharist
'Then the dragon was enraged with the woman
He went away to make war on the rest of her children,
Whom are obeying God’s commandments and they are the witness of Jesus.'(Rev12:....)
Scripture say from the beginning how Mother Mary will defeat Evil
'I shall put enmity between you and the woman,
And between your offspring and hers;
It will bruise your head and you will strike its heel.’ (Gen.3: 15)
It was God's revelation about how Mary our Mother conquer Satan
Yes Lord if we walked in the way of God, we would be living in peace for ever.
Let us learn where knowledge is, where strength, where understanding,
And so learn where length of days is, where life,
Where the light of the eyes and where peace.
If we enter the House where our Mother lives,
We will be blessed by her who has entered her treasure house?
How the wise the leaders of the nations, those are seeking her
And those who ruled the world found her Bar 3: 13-16
Many recent generations have seen the day and peopled the earth in their turn,
The way of knowledge they have not found;
They have not recognised the paths she treads.
Nor have their children had any grasp of her, remaining far from her way.
Even many Sects of Christians still not knowing her, our Mother
The Mother of our Lord, they misjudge her and blaspheming her
Nothing has been heard of her in Canaan, nothing has been seen of her in Teman;
The children of Hagar in search of worldly wisdom,
The merchants of Midian and Teman,
The tale-spinners and the philosophers have none of them found
The way to wisdom or remembered the paths she treads. Bar 3: 20-23
Oh Mother you are the the source to achieve Wisdom; your Son
Lord blessed Zion and it will be said, ‘Every one was born there,’
Mother, your guarantee is the Most High.
Lord in his register of peoples will note against each, ‘Born there’,
All the princes no less than native-born;
All the faithful make their home in you.
Like Jesus has born from Mary,
We all should be born from her through the living and enduring Word of God
Mary never disobey the commandments of God
She was pondering each and every Word from His mouth
She is the book of God’s commandments, the Law that stands for ever;
Those who keep her shall live, those who desert her shall die.
Turn back, Jacob, seize her, in her radiance make your way to light:
Do not yield your glory to another, your privilege to a people not your own.
Israel, blessed are we: what pleases God has been revealed to us! Bar 4: 1-4
One day I asked Lord, Why those churches in Mary's name are more glorified?
And why more faithful are coming to worship there more than any other churches
Even those are dedicated to the Apostles and other Saints?
Jesus answered: "My earthly dwelling place was my Mother; Mary's womb
And I finished the earthly mission with her till I shed the last drop of blood.
Her perseverance in the suffering gave me the strength to overcome
all pains.
My Heavenly Father has pleased in her of my birth as a wonderful mission by her. Father has pleased in Mary as she was with me in my missions
In my death and in my resurrection.
That is why the churches; those were given her name are more glorious
Than any other temples of God,
Because her womb was my first earthly temple;
Which God has chosen for His Trinity as Living Ark of the Covenant".
Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her,
Jesus said to his mother, and telling ‘Woman, this is your son.’
Then to the disciple and also telling me as well he said, ‘This is your mother.’
How blessed are we to have Mother Mary as our own mother
Lord I receive her and taking her to my home forever
