Yesterday
was the celebration of 166 years of the apparition of Our Lady of La Salette in
the French Alps, on September 19, 1846.In
Sanctuary in his honor, in Sao Paulo, Eucharistic celebrations were practically
the entire day. In
fact, the whole month is full of spirituality (novena, lectures etc.) and
religious culture, with bazaar and animations.
I
take this opportunity to reflect on chapter 19, verses 25 to 27, the Gospel of
John, which reads: "The mother of Jesus, his mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas,
and Mary Magdalene was at the cross. Jesus saw his
mother and, beside it, the disciple whom he loved."Then he said to his
mother:" Woman, behold YOUR CHILD. " Then he said to the disciple,
"Behold your mother." And from
that hour the disciple took her into his home. "(1)
If
the disciple is John the Evangelist Jesus makes it clear to them that what your
mother is, He delivers to humanity! As Mother and disciple
of Him and the entire human race!.Unfortunately,
many of our separated brethren have no clear perception of what it
represents.Note
well that most disciples disbanded for fear of the Pharisees and the Roman
authorities. Who was
at the foot of the cross? Three
(3) WOMEN (you see the importance of them!): His mother, Mary of Cleophas, and
Mary Magdalene, from whom He the Master, 7 seven demons cast
out.
Says
Pauline exegete, Joseph Bertolini in ropadé note referring to the text quoted
above, page 1383: "The Mother of Jesus is here the people of the old covenant
which remained faithful to the promises and hopes for the savior. And
the beloved disciple is the new people of God, composed of all who give their
adherence to Jesus. In
the mother-child relationship, the evangelist shows the unity and continuation
of God's people, faithful to the promise and heir of its realization. "

So
who loves Jesus, can not, under any circumstances, and HATE reject your Mother
Most Pure! It is simply a
matter of intelligence and consistency! 'Clearly,
exaggerations aside, the Mother of Jesus is no goddess, but in the celestial
hierarchy, after the Holy Trinity (God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit), she's
next.Mother's heart! And religion is
essentially feeling, heart ...It is reason,
too, of course. But
the messages of the Master Jesus, are always full of COMPASSION, SHARE, LOVE,
PEACE, JOY AND SOLIDARITY!
(Paul says, "Rejoice,
rejoice in the Lord" ...)Mother, always a mother!
THIS always in your children's
lives! So let's love more our
Mother and the Mother of God!Hail Mary Most Pure!
Conceived without sin!Blessings
of health, peace, prosperity, harmony and plenty of light in their hearts!
The God who is Father, Son
and Holy Spirit, Amen!(1) Bible Pauline,
