Dearest Mother,  May we look to you throughout this new century to pray for us and continue to be a light in our darkness.   You, whose eyes reflect the image of Christ, your Son.   You, whose motherhood promises a future only dreamed of by those who honor you today.       Amen. |
Mary, Mother of the EucharistMary, as the "New Eve", you are the "New Ark of the Convenant". You are our True Mother who reveals through a transparency of heart what humanity will always thirst and hunger for. It is true. Our hearts will ever remain restless until we surrender all and follow in your footsteps. To fully possess what we were eternally created for; to be living vessels of the Undivided Love that is simply Divine. For life is but a school to learn to love as God loves all.   Mary, Gift of Humility, never cease to intercede for us to restore what we have lost. Light of Faith guide us to recapture and radiate the Source of all Affirming Love. So that, the glory may be given to the Trinity; to the father, through the Son, for the outpouring of the Healing Sprit of Love.   Mary, be a mother to us now, for the world has grown cold and weary. Help us to rekindle our hearts with your precious Gift, the Eucharistic Presence of your Son. May out hearts too magnify this Sacrament of tender, intimate Love. Only then, will your joy be our joy eternally.   |
