Today our Blessed Lady said yes to God and so His great and eternal plan for our salvation, formed and set in motion as soon as we had lost that salvation, was put into it’s final stages and the second person of the Holy Trinity descended like a shaft of light into his creation, clothing Himself in our flesh, mingling the human and the divine so intimately that their could never again be a greater show of His love. So like our Lady have the courage to say yes to God, and “signs and wonders” (Rom 15:19) will surely come of it .. after all sometimes all that is required for something wonderful to happen is one moment of “reckless” courage.

You ask ‘for what’ God wants you. Isn’t the primary answer that He wants YOU. We’re not told that the lost sheep was sought out for anything except itself.

C.S. Lewis (via craigtowens)

In his works God always wants to act by means of instruments… God, who has given us a free will, wants us to serve him freely as his instruments by harmonizing our will to his in the same way the Blessed Mother did when she said: “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word”. The words “may it be done to me according to your word” should always be on our lips, for between our own will and the will of the Immaculate there should be perfect harmony. So what are we to do? Let Mary lead the way and we shall have nothing to fear.

I am The Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth. For in these things I delight, declares The Lord.

OK guys I know I havn't posted for ages and I'm really sorry but I've come to ask you all a favour: my dad is very seriously ill, I won't go into detail about the condition here, but it suffices to say that he's in a LOT of pain and taking a LOT of medication! In the next few weeks or so he's going to have a rather risky operation, one that might not work, cause him to have a stroke, or even die on the operating table ... he's becoming very depressed and saying things like if he arrests on the operating table not to bring him back because he can't stand living the way he does now. My mum, and grandmother (his mother) are not coping ... and I am very afraid that I'm going to lose my father! So I ask you, in your charity, please pray for my dad .. for his life, for his health, and for his tormented and depressed soul

“By a beautiful paradox of Divine love, God makes His Cross the very means of our salvation and our life. We have slain Him; we have nailed Him there and crucified Him; but the Love in His eternal heart could not be extinguished. He willed to give us the very life we slew; to give us the very Food we destroyed; to nourish us with the very Bread we buried, and the very Blood we poured forth. He made our very crime into a happy fault; He turned a Crucifixion into a Redemption; a Consecration into a Communion; a death into Life Everlasting.”

-Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
