Mary was also called to offer her Son on an altar [the Cross] as an
immolation but, once proving her obedience and devotion to God, was not spared
the deep heartache of her Son’s rejection, suffering, and death as the Lamb of
God who takes away the sins of the world. [Luke 2:22-35]
Mary?
On the Altar of
the Cross, Christ gave the Church to his mother and his mother to the Church.
[John 19:26-27]
I do not know her as I ought. I do not know of her as my mind [cold intellectual assent] wants to
know of her. Nor I do not know her as my soul [intimate spiritual experience] hungers to know her.
I am spending time with Saint
Louis De Montfort [1673-1716].
Saint Louis tells me that, “When the Holy Ghost,
her Spouse, has found Mary in a soul, He flies there. He enters there in His
fullness; He communicates himself to that soul abundantly, and to the full
extent to which it makes room for His spouse. Nay, one of the greatest reasons
why the Holy Ghost does not now do startling wonders in our souls is because He
does not find a sufficiently great union with His faithful and inseparable
spouse.”[1]
Saint Louis tells me that, “In a word, God wishes that His holy Mother should
be at present more known, more loved, more honored than she has ever been.”
As true as this was when Saint Louis penned this work that lay hidden for so long [from 1716 until 1842], how much more true is it in our times where the Great Deluder is working overtime deluding people to believe that evil is good and good is evil while hell enlarges itself and opens its mouth without measure. [Isaiah 5:14]
Saint Louis tells me that Mary will play a significant
role in the formation of the apostles of the latter times; that it will be
these … those that intimately know, love, and honor the Mother … that will be
empowered to remain faithful and persevere through the fiery trials of the End
Times.
