Mar. 16 - Wk 2, Day

[MariaChristi]

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

We are coming to the end of this second week -- and how lovely it is to hear those words of Jesus: "Behold Your Mother"! When the beloved disciple first heard those words from Jesus hanging on His Cross, John took Mary into his own life, and not merely his home, as some translators have it. Bl. John Paul II and Pope Emeritus have pointed out that the Greek words are literally that he took her "into his own being". That translation causes us to ponder far more deeply. St. Louis de Montfort wrote:

229. Each day of the second week they should endeavor in all their prayers and works to acquire an understanding of the Blessed Virgin and ask the Holy Spirit for this grace. They may read and meditate upon what we have already said about her. They should recite daily the Litany of the Holy Spirit and the Ave Maris Stella as during the first week. In addition they will say at least five decades of the Rosary for greater understanding of Mary

.
We really need to depend on the Holy Spirit given to bring us into the complete Truth! Let us pray the Litany to the Holy Spirit especially for that grace. As we pray the Rosary, let us learn by His Grace, from the mysteries of Mary’s life with Jesus and then take her into our own lives that she may teach us how to live with Him as she did.

Let us continue to pray to the Holy Spirit and to our Mother, with confidence in their help:
