Our Lady of Lourdes pray for us.
Excellent pick on the clip.
Pride is a killer. A cancer. A false friend.
Come to your knees and bow your head.
Your redeemer lives.
Your life begins.
God created all and keeps all in existence. Look in the mirror to see a miracle, a miracle who keeps on going and going. Forget the Energizer Bunny. You have your whole existence before you. At lest thank God for your very existence.
Mary appeared to Bernadette. Mary began the Rosary and said the Rosary with Bernadette. Mary did not say the Hail Marys, only the Creed and the Our Fathers. Mary’s soul magnifies the Lord before her pro-creation.. In perpetual virginity in body and soul Mary loves her neighbor, all of us, as herself before her pro-creation.
You are never alone, Mary is our Mother. Our Guardian Angel is with us and the Saints in heaven love us as best they can. Only God’s love is perfect and infinite. Mary’s love for us is perfect and finite. Mary’s love for us has a beginning, whereas God’s love for us is infinite, before all ages.
Mary’s soul never left the companionship of God in heaven and on earth. After Mary’s dormition Mary’s body was assumed to where Mary’s soul was, that is in companionship with God and His Son and the Saints in heaven.
“Oh, Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse ot thee”, especially now that there is abortion denying the very souls of God’s children, the standard of Justice for all nations.
“Your life begins.” and you are a miracle. Thanks be to God.
Mary De Voe….
You. The miracle.
Blessed Fr. Solanus Casey;
Life is to live and life is to give and talents are
to use for good if you choose.
Do not pray for easy lives.
Pray to be stronger.
Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers.
Pray for powers equal to your tasks —
then the doing of your work shall be no
miracle but you shall be a miracle.
Every day you shall wonder at yourself …
at the richness of life which has come
to you by the grace of God.
Philip:
You the miracle. Thank you for the prayer.
