Who are you, Immaculate Conception?
Monday, December 7th, 2009
Ave Maria Meditations
IMMACULATE CONCEPTION: These words fell from the lips of the Immaculata herself. Hence, they must tell us, in the most precise and essential manner, who she really is. Since human words are incapable of expressing Divine realities, it follows that these words, “Immaculate” and “Conception”, must be understood in a much more profound, much more beautiful and sublime meaning than usual: a meaning beyond that which human reason at its most penetrating commonly gives to them… Who then are you, O Immaculate Conception? Not God, of course, because He has no beginning. Not an angel, created directly out of nothing. Not Adam, formed out of the dust of the earth. Not Eve, molded from Adam’s rib. Not the Incarnate Word, Who exists before all ages, and of Whom we should use the word “conceived” rather than “conception.” Humans do not exist before their conception, so we might call them created “conceptions.” But you, O Mary, are different from all other children of Eve. They are conceptions stained by Original Sin; whereas you are the unique, Immaculate, Conception. |
Year of the Priest: A Favorite Prayer from Fr. Val
Sunday, September 6th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations
+ O Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son & Holy Spirit, open my mind that I may think according to Your ways not according to man’s way or my way. Enlighten me, Lord, guard me, guide me, and teach me. Fill me with the most precious gifts of the Most Holy Trinity. Fill me with the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, counsel, fortitude, piety and fear of the Lord – with genuine humility and obedience. + O Lord, open my lips only for You to speak and act through me, with me and in me all the days of my life. Without You, Lord – seal my lips (keep me silent). + O Lord, open my heart and fill it with eternal love, g1oty, praise, adoration and thanksgiving. + Fill my heart with deep eternal sorrow for all the sins of my life, not as I see my sins, but as You O Lord, see them. Fill my heart with deep eternal gratitude for creating me, redeeming me, sanctifying me, adopting me as your child and calling me to my h oly vocations. + Keep me faithful to Your teaching and never let me be parted from You, O Lord. Amen Fr. Valerian Rykowski +3-1-09 |
Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity
Sunday, June 7th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations
The Blessed Trinity and Our Lady’s Heart It was the morning of the feast of the Annunciation and the Hail Mary was of course being sung in Saint Gertrude’s monastery. During the singing she had a vision in which three streams gushed forth from the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost and gently flowed into Mary’s virginal Heart. The minute they reached Her Heart they bounded back to the source from where they had come. From this Saint Gertrude learned that the Blessed Trinity has allowed Our Lady to be most powerful next to God the Father, the wisest after God the Son, and the most loving after God the Holy Ghost. She also learned that every time the Angelic Salutation is said by the faithful the three mysterious streams surround Our Lady in a mighty, swirling current and rush into Her Heart. After they have completely bathed Her in happiness they gush back into the bosom of Almighty God. The Saints and Angels share in this abundance of joy as do the faithful on earth, who say this prayer. (St. Gertrude: Revelations Book IV, Chapter II)

This is My Beloved Son
Saturday, January 10th, 2009Ave Maria Meditations
And behold a voice from heaven saying: This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (Mt.3:17)
The prophecies of the Old Testament are fulfilled in the New Testament: (Is.42:1) Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delights. God the Father: (Mt. 17:5) from the cloud there came a voice which said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favour. Listen to him.” The Mother of Jesus: (Jn.2:5) His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you’. |
