We are called to sanctify ourselves and to be holy [Leviticus 11:44], we must overcome the world, the devil and the flesh.
Jesus is the Way, He has come to give us Salvation, He is the truth and we can learn about Him by reading the Holy Scriptures and by following the teachings of the Church, He is the Resurrection and the Life, His Precious Blood is the life of our souls. This life is available to us through the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist.
The Way of Jesus involves renunciation; if you want to be my disciples you must deny yourselves, take up your crosses daily and follow me.
The cross that the Lord offers us is made up of all the contradictions that we find in life.
Those who find their lives will lose them, but those who lose them for my sake will find them; the first will be the last and the last will be the first.
In Jesus our sufferings become our joy, our crosses become our crown and when we die in Him we truly live eternally [Apocalypse 21:4] .
We are not alone in our search for God, there is also a beautiful way to Jesus and that is His mother. Mary was the first Christian, the first one to be anointed with the Holy Spirit since the Spirit overshadowed her and She conceived the Word of God, Jesus.
Mary is the spotless mirror of the perfections of God [Wisdom 7:26], when we come to her we come to our mother, the mother of the living, we come to the holy mountain of God, the New Jerusalem. Mary is the Queen of Heaven and the Queen of all Creation.
Salvation could not have been possible without the help of Mary, She is the link between God and humanity, it is through her that Jesus came to the world.
And for the Glory of God it is through her that we can easily come to Him. This twentieth century has been marked by Heavenly signs as promised by the Lord, Our Lady has come in the Spirit of Elijah to proclaim repentance, to call the children of God back to Him.
We must find refuge in the Living Ark of the Covenant, to be saved from the tribulation that is before us.
Our Lady has asked that we pray the Holy Rosary daily, a devotion made up of prayers to honour the Holy Trinity. Through the meditation of the Holy Rosary we come to know Jesus in the mysteries of his life, passion, death, resurrection and Glory; we become familiar with the second person of the Holy Trinity, Our Lord Jesus Christ and we also come to understand the role of Mary in our Salvation.
Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we can live a life of consecration to God. Having Mary as our protector and advocate, we enjoy the assistance of our Heavenly Mother, who cares for us with her maternal Love.
Because Our Lady did not experience the corruption of sin [Acts 2:27], She is the enemy of the devil and She is our very powerful Advocate before God.
Let us come to Jesus, through Mary for the Glory of God. Consecrate your self to Her
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
