My dear children,
Today is a beautiful date, dear to the Most Holy and Immaculate Heart of My Mother Mary. She was the reflection of God on earth, She was as beautiful as a rose at the peak of its bloom. My Mother was Wisdom incarnate, and indeed the Holy Church reveres Her as such.
Mary was beautiful as a woman can be beautiful in Her physical and moral appearance, and She surpassed all women in Her permanent aura. Every woman would wish to be like Her, not because of Her real beauty, but because of the respectful attraction She exuded. God had blessed Her for Himself more than for herself, and She was His also by personal choice and by profound self-forgetfulness. Nothing for herself, everything for God, down to the smallest details of Her hidden life.
She was known, of course, as the highly respected Mother of the Lord during His public life, and She discreetly watched over the daily needs of His pilgrim life and that of His apostles and disciples, together with the other women in His entourage.
So many books have spoken of My Mother's virtues, seen from one angle or another, for She was all at once: fervent, prayerful, efficient, present, hard-working, discreet, always thoughtful and self-assured. Her personality was strong but never disturbing, always welcoming, and no one ever felt out of place with Her.
She was God's partner in all His tasks, through Her prayers and Her constant and ongoing intercession on behalf of all those who approached Her, with Her divine Son, from whom She had no secrets.
My Heavenly Father and I had complete confidence in Her, and She never missed an opportunity to delight Us with Her lofty virtues and Her ever-effective prudence. In creating Her, God had given Her all His trust, and She never failed to live up to it. Eve, too, had received great spiritual gifts, but Her fall was all the more painful because She fell from such a great height.
Mary did not fall; She kept the precious stones that had been rightly entrusted to Her and constantly multiplied them. She did not draw attention to herself, but Her presence had a profound effect on those around Her. She was infinitely respectable and respected, and no one would have dared to use inappropriate language in Her presence.
Her presence elevated every conversation; there was no joking around, and exchanges were harmonious and kind. Everyone was always happy with Her, and when She left, She always left behind a balm of energy and reconciliation.
Immaculate in body and soul, She did not imagine herself to be different from the other people around Her because Her charity carried Her, Her indulgence and mercy elevated Her spirit, and She was always willing to serve, to help, to exonerate, to understand, and to be considerate.
God loved Her and She loved Him, simply, naturally, unambiguously. "I am the servant of the Lord, let it be done to me according to His word. " There is no resistance in these words, but total trust regardless of the consequences or difficulties.
Mary asks only one question, concerning Her virginity, which She had consecrated to the Most High, and then, reassured, She allows herself to be led by divine Providence. She has no will of Her own except to obey totally God, Her Creator, who has every right over Her.
My children, imitate My Mother, who is so holy, Her perfect example of submission to God, Her trust even in what might have appeared to be a fault in the eyes of Her future husband, but since divine Providence is all-powerful, She trusted in God to resolve what could have been misinterpreted. God took everything in hand and His plans met with no resistance. The Holy Family was formed: Jesus, Mary, Joseph!
My children, see this model of the perfect family where virtue was paramount and where everything unfolded according to the divine plan, without conflict, without pride, and without self-will.
Mary Immaculate was the center of this perfect family, between the Child Jesus and Saint Joseph, ensuring harmony, providing for all domestic needs, and nurturing family love.
May all women on earth follow Her example and pray to Her because, having been given to the world by Jesus crucified, God gave you His Mother to help you reach Heaven after your earthly life, imitating Her and following Her example in every moment of your life.
