Dear Brothers and Sisters,
We are so close to the end of this 33 Day Journey of Preparation for Total Consecration to Jesus through Mary! I hope it has been as much a blessing for you as it has for me. I haven’t had many replies but I know some of you have been reading the threads and that is part of my blessing!
Last night I was pondering the titles given to Jesus in the Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus - they are all beautiful and each one calls us to understand Jesus a little better – although we can never exhaust the infinite wonder of God! Let us for a few moments consider the first few in the Litany:
Then, lest we be blinded by the splendor of the Father, and the brightness of eternal light shining from the Face of Jesus, King of glory and Son of justice, we are called to remember Jesus is Son of the Virgin Mary and Jesus is most amiable…
As Mary’s Son Jesus took to Himself our human nature; the Word was made Flesh and dwelt among us. It is somewhat difficult to go beyond those first six invocations of the Litany. May we linger, with Mary at those titles which the Holy Spirit inspires us to ponder today and open our hearts wide to receive all the love God has for us, and let it overflow to whomever and wherever He wills.
“O Jesus, living in Mary, come and live in your servants, in the spirit of holiness, in the fullness of your power, in the perfection of your ways, in the truth of your virtues, in the communion of your mysteries. Rule over every adverse power, in your Spirit, for the glory of the Father. Amen.” – prayer of Fr. Olier, S.S. (1608-1657)

How important it is always to remember FIRST - Jesus is Son of the Living God! and to ask for His Mercy !
