St. Paul eloquently says .. “Love
endures all; believes all; hopes in all”
[ 1 Corinthians:
12:13]
It all began with a "YES" 2000 yrs ago...
"You did not choose me; I chose you to go and
bear fruit." - John 15:16
Mary heard a voice and she replied :
"Fiat
mihi secundum Verbum tuum"
[Be it done to me as you have said.]
Mary was chosen by God ...
For God ...
When the time came, her son prayed,
"Fiat
Voluntas Tua" [Thy Will be done]
and there on the Cross His final words were,
"It is accomplished."
What was "Thy Will"? ...that we be saved...be reconciled with the Beloved.
What was accomplished? ... the fullness of a "sacrifice" being offered for Love.
Our sure passage to the fullness of joy with God in Heaven has been assured by the
"Triumph of the Cross of Christ".
And what about Mary, the Mother of the Son of God?
She accepted her part in the plan of God..
The Cross that Jesus carried on his shoulder is the same cross that pierced the heart of a Mother , a mother who in silence died and rose again with her son to bring about the JOY promised to those who journey towards the same path... the path of JOY through the narrow road of the Cross...
Us....
once we take heed to the words of Mary "do whatever He tells you".
