The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dear Family of Mary!
September 02, 2015 “Dear children, My dear apostles of love, my carriers of truth, again I am calling you and gathering you around me to help me, to help all of my children who thirst for love and truth – who thirst for my Son. I am a grace from the Heavenly Father, sent to help you to live the word of my Son. Love one another. I lived your earthly life. I know that it is not always easy, but if you will love each other, you will pray with the heart, you will reach spiritual heights and the way to heaven will be opened for you. I, your mother, am waiting for you there because I am there. Be faithful to my Son and teach others faithfulness. I am with you. I will help you. I will teach you faith that you may know how to transmit it to others in the right way. I will teach you truth that you may know how to discern. I will teach you love that you may come to know what real love is. My children, my Son will make it so as to speak through your words and your actions. Thank you.”
On this beautiful feast day of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we remember the total gift of self that Mary made as a young girl. She gave herself entirely to God. This gift was never revoked. Mary, our Mother lived her entire life as a gift to God, always following His inspirations and will. Now she has come to us in these difficult days, to help us find our way to the Lord as she did. She will help us. She is with us to bring us safely to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. May we never revoke our gift of self to Jesus through Mary. We want to always be faithful to them, living only for the Glory of God.
Here is a beautiful hymn to Mary in honor of this day:
Our Lady’s Presentation.
How Acceptable to God was Mary’s Heart on the Day of her Presentation. “Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear, and forget thy people and thy father’s house.” (Ps. xliv. II)
Day breaks on temple-roofs and towers;
The city sleeps, the palms are still;
The fairest far of earth’s fair flowers
Mount Sion’s sacred hill.
O Maiden most Immaculate!
Make me to choose thy better part;
And give my Lord, with love as great,
An undivided heart.
O wondrous Babe! O child of grace!
The Holy Trinity’s delight!
Sweetly renewing man’s lost race,
How fair thou art, how bright!
O Maiden most Immaculate!
Make me to choose thy better part;
And give my Lord, with love as great,
An undivided heart.
Not all the vast angelic choirs
That worship round the eternal throne,
With all their love can match the fires
Of thy one heart alone.
O Maiden most Immaculate!
Make me to choose thy better part;
And give my Lord, with love as great,
An undivided heart.
Not only was thy heart above
All heaven and earth could e’er attain,
Thou gavest it with so much love,
‘Twas worth as much again.
O Maiden most Immaculate!
Make me to choose thy better part;
And give my Lord, with love as great,
An undivided heart.
Would that my heart, dear Lord, were true,
Royal and undefiled and whole,
Like hers from whom Thy sweet love took
The Blood to save my soul.
O Maiden most Immaculate!
Make me to choose thy better part;
And give my Lord, with love as great,
An undivided heart.
If here our hearts grudge aught to Thee,
In that bright land beyond the grave.
We’ll worship Thee with souls set free,
And give as Mary gave.
O Maiden most Immaculate!
Make me to choose thy better part;
And give my Lord, with love as great,
An undivided heart.
