Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. James 1:12
Yesterday the 15th of August was the feast of our lady's assumption. She is a role model, a living example for us all especially during turmoil, difficulties and trials of our lives. she is the new eve pure without sin. She is our tree of life that gave birth to our new image through Jesus Christ. Her blind faith and her 'yes' to God changed us all.
Mary experienced poverty, humiliation,persecution and her son's death. In spite of this severe pain she remained still, firm and full of faith because the holy spirit was her spouse, she was his dwelling place, his golden castle that shone forth through her obedience. Mary was so one with God almighty that he carved the new commandment in her womb......Jesus. She fulfilled all the beatitudes, that's why God lifted her up, made her queen of heaven and earth.
c f The canticle of Mary : My soul magnifies the Lord,And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.For He has regarded the low estate of His handmaiden,For behold, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.For He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is His name. And His mercy is on those who fear Him from generation to generation.He has shown strength with His arm:He has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.He has put down the mighty from their thrones,and exalted those of low degree.He has filled the hungry with good things;and the rich He has sent empty away.He has helped His servant Israel, in remembrance of His mercy;As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to His posterity forever.
Prayer; Dear mother Mary, our mother, I thank you for your 'yes' to God out of Love. help us to remain faithful to God till the end. be with us in out trials and difficulties. Life can be really hard, with our problems and trials. help us to love our families and friends even when they abandon us, when they do not understand us. Give us strength to help our worst enemies. We offer you our hearts, take it to your son, and let it be cleansed from the things that are not worthy in God's eyes. may he'll melt it with the fire of his love and given back to us with a childlike innocence. Amen
