Daily Thoughts - Make God Known. The Memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church.
"The man replied, "The woman whom you put here with me—she gave me fruit from the tree, so I ate it."" Genesis 3:12
"The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than any dwelling in Jacob. Glorious things are said of you, O city of God! Selah And of Zion it will be said: "Each one was born in it." The Most High will establish it;" Psalms 87:2-3, 5
The fruit of the tree, funny how you can read something over and over again, then one day it has new meaning. God works in cooperation with man and woman, this was His plan from the beginning. It stands to reason that He would continue that plan even though it was misdirected. "We know that all things work for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose."Romans 8:28
His purpose never changes, how He gets there is in cooperation of the will of man and woman. After the crucifixion of Christ, what is the fruit of the tree? Jesus. Who gives us the fruit of the tree? Mary, Mother of the Church. As we listen to God, within His word is hidden the rewards of Heaven.
Look at the Church, look at her teachings, not the teachings of man but her teaching. We live in a world that is dying, that is eating the fruit of the evil one. Our culture is in decay, our moral values are under attack. What is the answer to these dilemmas? The foundation that God gave us, in His Son Jesus and Holy Mother Church. We celebrate these days for a purpose, a Godly purpose, for it was Him who gave her to us. Just as he did Adam in the beginning. Freedom isn't free, it comes at a price that will cost your life, a life that will either produce Heaven or hell. The choice is yours as we celebrate this Memorial Day.
Dear Father, You burn within, I see beyond the words upon the page. I see a future filled with faith, hope and charity. May we not take our freedom for granted, may we see the schemes of the devil. Give us the fruit of eternal life through Holy Mother Church and witness to Your glory. Thank You Lord for Mary, she stood by Your side and suffered with You in the trials of life and she is glorified by Your side today within the city of God. In Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Mother of the Church, Pray for us.
St Joesph, Spouse of the Mother of God, Pray for us.
St Patrick, Pray for us.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
