“My beloved sons, do not let your hearts be troubled. Why do you doubt? Why do you look with uncertainty at the present and the future in search of the sign which I have predicted to you?
Blue Book # 62 a-c
There is only one sign which God gives to the world and to the Church of this day: I myself.
I alone am announced as a great sign in the heavens: this Woman, Clothed with the Sun, with the moon as a carpet under her feet and twelve stars as a luminous crown about her head.
When we have difficulties with faith, we should turn to her and bow low before this little girl-woman, who is truly the mother of all who believe. She showed a faith beyond our understanding. Right now, this very moment, I invite you to enter into that solitude of faith, as Mary did. Cast your mind inward, and open your heart. Do you really believe? All you have to do is enter this solitude of faith, as Mary did, and say yes! That’s all.
Grace in Every Season (March 24)
We are not only called to be another Jesus to the world around us, we are also called to be another Mary. To faithfully say YES to whatever assignment Our Heavenly Father is asking of us at the moment, and with the help of the Holy Spirit to bring it to fruition.
So when we struggle with our faith, or even ‘understanding the assignment’ , who better to go to? Many claim that we shouldn’t go to her because she was ‘just a woman’. Yet didn’t Jesus coming to us as fully God and fully man, elevate all of humanity who so desires to join themselves to Him? Who among us had a higher assignment than Mary? And if you truly believe that you have been united with Jesus, and can call His Divine Father as Abba. Why would His earthly Mother not be afforded the same respect? Jesus is not from a single parent family! So… go call your mom!
