(during the 1st Joyful Mystery and a minds eyes expression, comingled with inner locution) “Hail Mary”
What an honor Gabriel received, being allowed to verbalize this greeting. Did Moses ever get a “Hail” did Elijah ever get a “Hail” ??? King David?…No none other…This honor was saved for the Perfect Tree to bear You THE PERFECT FRUIT…How presumptuous it is of me to recite such a holy salutation. … Dear Jesus please take no insult having my filthy mouth mime these words to Your Mother. “Full of Grace”
You saw her soul, She didn’t. You sent Gabriel, and as any messenger, Surely, he was very precise with the message, and didn’t adlib. The thoughts You allowed to be recorded within Your Bible say She wondered what kind of greeting could this be?? Your mothers humility must have been making her think she was an unworthy maiden or in such true humility she must have thought she was an “OK” daughter – family member, but looking for every opportunity to improve in grace for the betterment of her Jewish community…. Oooh how such a totally humble response to this greeting must have felt to You …Finally ….FINALLY… One of Your creations ((by Your Workings)) is able to be the vessel through which You can bring Yourself, physically and finitely, to all humans. Not partially “graced”… Not “graced” while in public… Not “graced” since you matured from childhood to womanhood ….FULL OF GRACE “The Lord is with Thee”
oooh Mary did you not know the Lord was with You? If You did not … Thank You for not knowing … My knowing seems little more than guessing, except at special times and they are so very few and seemingly far between. If you needed to be told … It gives me much hope .., Please offer my thanks to Our Heavenly Father for this Gift of Hope. Please offer my thanks to Your Son for the Faith of not needing to know. Please thank Your Spouse, The Lord That Is With You for the peace and contentment needed to await through periods of uncertainties in this life. “Blessed Are You Among Women”
My own Mom has always been a wonderful Woman … Slightly “German” in many of her ways .. yet always loving, forgiving, caring beyond reason and to me a Saint as was her Mother before Her ….Life has made me sure that most men feel the same about their Mothers … but You have been chosen from all women of all times .. to be deemed as blessed among women by God Himself.. With the examples God has given me of feminine perfection in Mom – Grandma D – My Wife – and many others … shame is felt at times, asking your help … Should more strength then this be mine .. and have no need to come crawling to you … yet am very thankful to Your Son Jesus … Jesus … Jesus …. the Name that means LOVE … and Thank You and He for your relationship. “Blessed is the Fruit of Your Womb”
What Perfection took place within your body ? The Healer of All that needs Healing …. The Fruit of YOUR WOMB ..LOVE PERSONIFIED . The Salvation of ALL Mankind … Immanuel …. God With Us ,…. With US …Declared by the Holy Spirit … God speaking to You … God within Your Body …Full of Grace …oooh Mary thank You for being You …. Ooooh Jesus please help me to become a faint shadow … some resemblance of a faint shadow of your mothers humble perfection and cause the fruit of my earthly existence to bring forth the fruits of your Holy Spirit … It is realized that much is being asked, considering that at this moment a contrite heart is being felt, but we both know that soon my prideful self will return … please don’t give up on me as is deserved … “Jesus”
THE NAME above all names … Told to Joseph by Your Arch-Angel (what an honor you received Joseph) Your own Son in His Triune majesty, told you what to name Him … and trusted you to do what was needed.
Jesus the Name at the sound of which every knee MUST bend … such POWER in Your Love … POWER from gentleness …Our sinful nature MUST fear You … yet how we yearn to mimic Your ways in hopes of attaining a humility which will allow Your Love to preside in us. The POWER is Yours, little would done but abuse it were any portion given to me … You so often allow me to see your Love in others … Thank You Jesus for the examples you chose in Your earthly Mother and Father .. Your Wisdom as always is impeccable. making JMJ the acronymic of (Jesus, Mary, Joseph) our example of The Earthly Holy Family. Not only a mirror image of the Trinity … so much more when one Member of THE Godhead .. is REALLY PHYSICALLY, PERSONALLY, EMOTIONALLY, IN EVERY WAY A PART OF AN EARTHLY FAMILY… and You beckon us to Your Home … to Your Table … not as the slaves which we don’t even deserve to be slaves of Yours … but as brothers and sisters in Your Earthly and Eternal Family … Holy You ARE ..
There are Only two words for me, which are my desire, to ponder on for all eternity and pray it can be done in Your presence. One means the Other and the Other means the One …
JESUS — LOVE. “Holy Mary Mother of God”
Such perfection is God Your Son ..and what an example of Holiness has He chosen in You. His and Your and my Heavenly Father has told me “What earthly Father if asked by His child for Bread would give the child a snake?” and “How much more good will He Give us if we ask”? this old man does beckon You as Mother of Jesus, the One Who has all my life asked me to allow Him to be my Best Friend. And as You well know my portion in our relationship is severely lacking . “Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death”
If you Pray for me, it is known, He will not deny your request, Please ask God for me for the graces needed right now, especially those that are not seen, by this bag of bones, and a planned for and Holy Death .. Like many of us on earth, my reservations, about when and how it will be my turn to leave here, become anxiety. Daily the attempt is made to not worry and to trust more. Common sense allows me to know that a Holy Death isn’t something that can just happen at the end of a sinful life.
Asking Our God these things directly, as is Your Desire, will always continue as well, but Mary it just makes me feel a lot better knowing You are Praying for me also … no one ever before or after you has been so close to All Three. Without being one of them… “Amen”Among Men I believe Scripture to be TrueAmong Men I believe Jesus LivesAmong Men I believe God IS LOVE
