Never Leave Your Immaculate Mother

“Never leave your immaculate mother. She won’t leave you either. She loves you even more than your own dear mother. She suffered more to give birth to you, for she bore My death. Queen of Martyrs! If suffering increases love, just imagine the tenderness she feels for you. Nothing could ever quench it, not even your ingratitude. Thank her. Love her. Above all, speak to her about your love, and this will draw you nearer to Me. Where else would she lead you if not to Me? She is much too humble to take for herself what belongs to Me, she who lived for God alone. Ask her to teach you to live for Me. Put all your trust in her. She will help you on your uphill climb; it is strenuous work climbing the mountain of perfection.” (Jesus to Gabrielle Bossis)

14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Imman′u-el. (Isaiah 7:14).

43 And why is this granted me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (Luke 1:43)

26 When Jesus saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing near, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold, your son!” 27 Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother!” And from that hour the disciple took her to his own home. (John 19:26-27).

Reflection- O Lord how can we thank You enough for Your Immaculate Mother and ours. She gave Her Fiat to Your Incarnation but Her Love did not stop there. She followed You all the way to the Cross and She participated in Your Sufferings for our sake. She is our true Mother who wants all of Her Children safe and home in You. You remind us today that suffering increases love! So many of us are suffering but are we increasing in love? How many of us just feel empty and numb and overwhelmed? But Our Lady wants to give us Her Love so that She can lead us to You as we strive to get up out of whatever valley we may find ourselves in today. So let us put our trust in Her as we strive to climb the mountain of perfection because She will draw us even nearer to You!
