“Glorious” Wednesdays remind us of Jesus’ closeness to His Mother. Jesus chose to submit Himself and join with Mary upon His birth as a man and thus it is natural that He also wish to join with her upon her death. Lord, I pray today for the grace to join myself with Mother so that through her, I may enjoy the closest relationship with Jesus, Son of God, son of Mary.

March 25, 2015- Feast of the Annunciation

O Mary Immaculate, living tabernacle of the Divinity…
I hand over to you and consecrate, as your slave, my body and my soul, my goods, both interior and exterior …
Receive, O benign Virgin, this little offering of my slavery, in honor of, and in union with, the submission that eternal Wisdom deigned to have to your maternity….

“O, my Jesus, I am yours and all that I have is yours through Mary, y our most Holy Mother. “
