Queenship of Mary Part 1

Why do we Catholics pray, "Hail, holy Queen"?  Because the Bible teaches us that Mary is Queen Mother of the King of kings!  To understand this, we must go back to the Old Testament....

King David was a great warrior and leader who became king of Israel about a thousand years before Christ.  He established a long line of kings who ruled from Jerusalem, David's capital city.  His son and successor, Solomon built a beautiful temple that became the center of worship for the Jewish people.  Solomon's mother, Bathsheba, was instrumental in her son's being named David's successor.  Soon after Solomon was enthroned, Bathsheba came to ask a favor.  Solomon, rose, bowed down to her, and provided a throne for her on his right.  In doing so, Solomon established an institution known as the "queen mother" (1 Kings 1-2). 

The queen mother became an essential part of Judah's kingship, the "house of David."  Each queen mother was listed in the succession records of the kings of Judah (1 Kings 14:21; 15:13; 2 Kings 12:1; 14:2; 15;2).  For almost four hundred years, the institution of the queen mother was a fact of life in Judah.  The king succeeded to the throne through his mother.  The queen mother was counselor to the king, and in one case ruled for a time after the son died (2 Kings 11:1-3).  When the Jewish people thought of the house of David, therefore, they would picture the king on his throne, and at his right, the queen mother on her throne.

Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians in 587 B.C. and most of the people were led into exile.  Eventually, they were allowed to return home, but one nation after another kept the Jews under subjugation.  It appeared that the House of David was extinct.

But appearances were wrong.  God sent his son, Jesus, who was born of Mary, of the family of David.  His foster father, Joseph, was also of David's family.  When the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary, he said: "And now, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you will name him Jesus...and the Lord God will give to him the throne of his ancestor David.  He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end (Luke 1:31-32)."  Since God gave Jesus "the throne of his ancestor David, " Jesus, like Solomon, would be expected to set up a throne at his right hand and seat his Queen Mother upon it.
by Father Oscar Lukefahr, C.M.

A Friend

A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart

and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.

Your Armor

I can only say, picture yourself in a huge crowd of people whom you believe share the same belief confronted by an evil dictator whom you all thought was your shepherd.  No way could you be picked out or picked off.  Then gradually the group begins to split and scatter, before you realize it, you alone are standing in this huge arena exposed, all the others are hiding watching what will happen.  He attacks, firing at will yet misses.  He boast claiming the miss from his arrow as a scare tactic.  Those that have scattered begin to fear for there lives, their hope dimensioning. Yet again it happens.  You look to escape yet all hiding places are taken.  The plan begins to unfold. You recognize the front, you recognize your armor..... it's in your hand, it's power comes from the strength of the love in your heart.  Something happens that is unimaginable, you become a magnet for his misfires, he was happy before that his arrows missed however he sees now each painful strike....he cannot stop yet he begins to experience the overwhelming pain that grows....He's doomed, he looks at something so bright emanating from your hands, the depth at which it reaches into his very soul.... he then looks at his own....unlike Judas he peers into the wounds he sees and realizes,.... it's not to late....then it happens and when it's over....he rushes to regain his sight and you're gone

Veneration of Mary

	True Marian devotion never obscures or diminishes faith and love for Jesus Christ Our Savior, the one Mediator between God and humankind. On the contrary, entrustment to Our Lady is a privileged path, tested by numerous Saints, for a more faithful following of the Lord. Consequently, let us entrust ourselves to her with filial abandonment!

The Battle of Lepanto

by Paolo Veronese

1571-The Battle of Lepanto
The victory at Lepanto is the most famous and important of the military victories through the Rosary. On October 7, 1571 the Turk's attempted to invade Christian Europe at Lepanto on the coast of Greece.

The Pope asked Catholics to pray the Rosary with the intention that the Turk's attack would fail.

The Christians were out numbered 3 to 1.
Thanks to the Rosary prayers and against all odds, the Christians were victorious, sinking 200 Turkish ships and killing 50,000 of their men.

The feast of Our Lady of the Rosary is now celebrated on
October 7th every year in memory of this miraculous victory.
This famed battle inspired G.K. Chesterton, a renowned author to write the poem entitled, "Lepanto" chronicling the exciting events of that day.

Power of the Rosary I

St. Louis Mary de Montfort has indeed given an impressive account of how powerful Mary's Rosary is in overcoming evil.

"If you say the Rosary faithfully until death, I do assure you that, in spite of the gravity of your sins 'you shall receive a never-fading crown of glory.' Even if you are on the brink of damnation, even if you have one foot in hell, even if you have sold your soul to the devil as sorcerers do who practise black magic, and even if you are a heretic as obstinate as a devil, sooner or later you will be converted and will amend your life and will save your soul, if-- and mark well what I say-- if you say the Holy Rosary devoutly every day until death for the purpose of knowing the truth and obtaining contrition and pardon for your sins." -St. Louis de Montfort from The Secret of the Rosary

Our Lady's Rosary

Dear Mother, I bring Thee roses
Because they are so sweet,
But lilies, my favorite flowers
I am placing at Thy feet.

Accept with each Hail Mary
A rose for Thy crown so bright;
Please don't forget the lilies,
The lilies so pure and white.

Let them be a bond of love
And understanding rare,
And send a blessing from above
In answer to my prayer.

Loneliness would be unknown
If more people came to Thee,
With their trials and sorrows
And said their Rosary.

With each Hail Mary, they would find
Their load much lighter grow,
And in humility, kiss the cross
In peace, would onward go.

Alice W. Sparks

The Holy Rosary

"There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot solve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary."
--Sister Lucia, of the seers of Fatima

I AM

"The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host."

- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Mary's Adoration

   

    "Mary's adoration was profound, interior, intimate. It was the gift of herself. She offered her whole self to the service of love of the Eucharistic God. For love lays down no conditions, makes no reservations; it thinks no longer of self, lives no longer for self; it is a stranger to itself and lives only for the God which it loves. Everything in Mary was directed to the Blessed Sacrament as Its center and end. A current of grace and love established itself between the Heart of Jesus-Hostia and the heart of Mary-Adoratrix. These hearts were like two flames blended into one. God was then perfectly adored by His creature,"   "Mary adored Jesus as the Bridegroom of souls. Union is the final purpose of love. Jesus by the gift of His substance in the Eucharist unites Himself with our souls as with His dear spouses. As a Bridegroom, He gives them all His possessions, His name, His heart, His whole Self, but on the condition that the soul reciprocates. The soul, His spouse, shall live for Him only,"

- St. Peter Julian Eymard

Eucharist

In the Eucharist, the Son of God comes to meet us and desires to become one with us; eucharistic adoration is simply the natural consequence of the eucharistic celebration, which is itself the Church’s supreme act of adoration.

Pope Benedict XVI – Sacramentum Caritatis 66
from an address to priests in Poland, May 25, 2006

As it is impossible to go out into the rain without an umbrella and not get wet, so to it's as impossible to go before the Blessed Sacrament and not receive an abundance of Graces.

Voice of the Poor



But for the Grace of God there go I



If you want God to hear your prayers, hear the voice of the poor. If you wish God to anticipate your wants, provide those of the needy without waiting for them to ask you. Especially anticipate the needs of those who are ashamed to beg. To make them ask for alms is to make them buy it. -- St. Thomas of Villanova

Mercy II

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy" (Mt 5:7), but judgement is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy" (Jas 2:13).  The Parables of the Good Samaritan, the Rich Man and Lazarus, and the Unforgiving Servant all demonstrate this essential truth that only if we give mercy can we hope to receive it; for we will be judged on this basis of our merciful actions toward others: " I was hungry and you gave me food..."(Mt 25:35-46)

Time II

We make our lives so busy, we waste TIME spending TIME

just trying to save TIME

Mercy

Mercy is love that seeks to relieve the misery of others.  It is an active love, poured out upon others to heal, to comfort, to console, to forgive, to remove pain.  It is the love that God offers us, and it is the love He demands from us for each other:
I give you a new commandment...  As I have loved you, so you must love one another (Jn 13:34)...Be merciful even as your Father is merciful (Lk 6:36)
Repeatedly the scriptures remind us that the measure we use for others is the measure God will use for us (Lk 6:36), for He will indeed "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us " (Mt 6:12-14).

I am Love and Mercy itself.  When a soul approaches Me with trust, I fill it with such an abundance of graces that it cannot contain them within itself, but radiates them to other souls (1074)
The Divine Mercy

Vision

A blind person asked St. Anthony: " Can there be anything worse than losing your eye sight" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"

Do Not Doubt

Had I known then what I know now made me a wiser man?  I believe the state in life we find ourselves in now is not by coincidence, only a result of our choices, Yes, but it's the place in life where we are summoned to be.
Had our choosing then been any different than what they were, what we have knowledge of now been the basis of our decision then; would we be the same person?
Have Faith, do not doubt in knowing GOD has placed you here now for a very special purpose.
We cannot change the past, but we can act on the present in hopes of making tomorrow a better place.

If I Knew

 If I knew it would be the last time
 That I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly

and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
 
If I knew it would be the last time
 that I see you walk out the door,

I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
 
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.

If I knew it would be the last time,
 I could spare an extra minute
to stop and say "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
 
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
Well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
 
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything just right.
 
There will always be another day
to say "I love you,"
And certainly there's another chance
 to say our "Anything I can do?"
 
 But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget.
 
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance
 you get to hold your loved one tight.
 
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
 
That you didn't take that extra time
 for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
 
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
 
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
 "Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay."
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.

      Please, God, help me to remember.

Time

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
for bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
my soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time
to spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They'd laugh at me I'd fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said
"Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down...

But never found the time"

Devotion to Marry III

Lastly, we know they will be true disciples of Jesus Christ, imitating his poverty, his humility, his contempt of the world and his love. 

They will point out the narrow way to God in pure truth according to the holy Gospel, and not according to the maxims of the world.  Their hearts will not be troubled, nor will they show favour to anyone; they will not spare or heed or fear any man, however powerful he may be. 

They will have the two-edged sword of the Word of God in their mouths and the blood-stained standard of the Cross on their shoulders. 

They will carry the crucifix in their right hand and the rosary in their left, and the holy names of Jesus and Mary on their heart.  The simplicity and self-sacrifice of Jesus will be reflected in their whole behavior.

Devotion to Mary II

They will be like thunder clouds flying through the air at the slightest breath of the Holy Spirit. Attached to nothing, surprised at nothing, troubled at nothing, they will shower down the rain of God’s word and of eternal life. They will thunder against sin, they will storm against the world, they will strike down the devil and his followers and for life or for death they will pierce through and through with the two-edged sword of God’s word all those against whom they are sent by almighty God.

They will be true apostles of the latter times to whom the Lord of Host will give eloquence and strength to work wonders and carry off glorious spoils from his enemies. They will sleep without gold or silver and more important still, without concern in the midst of other priests, ecclesiastics and clerics. Yet they will have the silver wings of the dove enabling them to go wherever the Holy Spirit calls them, filled as they are, with the resolve to seek the glory of God and the salvation of souls. Wherever they preach, they will leave behind them nothing but the gold of love, which is the fulfillment of the whole law.

Devotion to Mary I

Finally, God in these times wishes his Blessed Mother to be more known, loved and honoured than she has ever been.  This will certainly come about if the elect, by the grace and light of the Holy Spirit, adopt the interior and perfect practice of the devotion which I shall later unfold.  Then they will clearly see that beautiful Star of the Sea, as much as Faith allows.  Under her guidance they will come safely to port in spite of storm and pirates.  They will perceive the splendours of this Queen and will consecrate themselves entirely to her service as subjects and slaves of love.  They will experience her motherly kindness and affection for her children.  They will love her tenderly and will appreciate how full of compassion she is and how much they stand in need of her help.  In all circumstances they will have recourse to her as their advocate and mediatrix, with Jesus Christ.  They will see clearly that she is the safest, easiest, shortest and most perfect  way of approaching Jesus and will surrender themselves to her, body and soul, without reserve in order to belong entirely to Jesus.

But what will they be like, these servants, these slaves, these children of Mary?

They will be ministers of the Lord who, like a flaming fire, will enkindle everywhere the fires of divine love.  They will become, in Mary's powerful hands, like sharp arrows, with which she will transfix her enemies. 

They will be as the children of Levi, thoroughly purified by the fire of great tribulations and closely joined to God.  They will carry the gold of love in their heart, the frankincense of prayer in their mind and the myrrh of mortification in their body.  They will bring to the poor and the lowly everywhere the sweet fragrance of Jesus, but they will bring the odour of death to the great, the rich and the proud of this world.  To be contd



The Blessings of Wisdom

My son, if you receive my words and treasure my commands, Turning your ear to wisdom, inclining your heart to understanding;
Yes, if you call to intelligence, and to understanding raise your voice; If you seek her like silver, and like hidden treasures search her out:
Then will you understand the fear of the LORD; the knowledge of God you will find;
For the LORD gives wisdom, from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 
He has counsel in store for the upright, he is the shield of those who walk honestly,
Guarding the paths of justice, protecting the way of his pious ones.  Then you will understand rectitude and justice, honesty, every good path; 
For wisdom will enter your heart, knowledge will please your soul,
Discretion will watch over you, understanding will guard you;
Proverbs 2:1-11

Charity

Charity is described as the theological virtue by which we love God above all things for His own sake, and our neighbor as ourselves for the love of God, Catechism 1822

The most treasured and sacred moments of our lives are those filled with the spirit of love. The greater the measure of our love, the greater is our joy.

John Holmes writes “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”

It really isn't about how much we give nor how often necessarily but the fact that we give out of love expecting nothing in return.  Begin to look at things through the eyes of a child and your charity will be renewed. 

POWER

What would you do if I told you the Secret to giving you Power you've never dreamed of?

What would you pay for it?

What would you do to get it?
What would you do with it?

Would you give up everything you have to possess it?

Justice

Holding a grudge is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

It's never right to do wrong in order for justice to prevail

Hope

WORRYING does not take away tommorrow's TROUBLES,
it takes away today's PEACE.

Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, Relax my child, it's just a bend, not the end!

Pray, Hope and don't Worry

Problems/Solutions

When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

Act as if it all depends upon you, pray as if it all depends upon GOD

Helping Hand

The only time that you should be looking down on someone is when you are extending your hand to help them up

Fatima Prayer

Prayer to Our Lady of Fatima

Dearest Mother, Queen of the Holy Rosary, who came to Fatima to reveal to all mankind the Divine plan for true Christian peace, of prayer, penance, and consecration, grant an abundance of grace, strength, and guidance to the members of Thy Fatima Crusade, here present and throughout the world. Inspire us to great zeal, oh great Mediatrix of All Graces, that we may be effective instruments in spreading devotion to Thy Rosary; that we may be faithful in wearing Thy scapular; that we may inspire our brothers in Christ to a life of sacrifice, penance, and modesty, and finally, that we may help to bring about that wonderful day when all men, through consecration to Thy Immaculate Heart, shall be one in Christ. Amen.

Rosary Beads

MY ROSARY BEADS

A little pair  of Rosary Beads,

As plain as plain can be,

But only God in  heaven knows

How dear they are to me.

I have them always with me

At every step I take,

At evening when I slumber

At morn when I awake.

In bright and cloudy weather,

In sunshine or in rain,

In happiness or sorrow,

In pleasure or in pain.

It helps me in my struggle,

It reproves me when in sin,

Its look of gentle patience

Rebukes the strife within.

In days of pain and anguish,

The greatest  help I knew

Was to hold my Rosary beads

Until I calmer grew.

So when the time approaches

When I will have to die

I hope my little Rosary beads

Will close beside me lie.

That the Holy Name of Jesus

May be the last I say,

And kissing my sweet Rosary Beads,

My soul may pass away.

Direction

Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it's a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout the journey.

Detachment

Little Story about Detachment

From “The Treasure” by Alice Gray

The cheerful girl with golden curls was almost 4, while at the checkout stand she saw then a circle of white glistening pearls in a pink foil box.

Oh please mommy can I have them, please mommy please.

Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and looked back in the pleading blue eyes of the little girls upturned face……$1.95.  That s almost 2 dollar.  If you really want them, I’ll think of some extra choirs for you and in no time you can save enough money to by them for yourself.  Your birthday is coming, only 1 week away and you might get another crisp dollar from your grandmother.

When Jenny got home she emptied her penny bank and counted out 17 pennies.  After dinner she did more than her share of choirs and she went to the neighbor and asked if she could pick dandelions for 10cents. 

On her birthday her grandmother did give her a new dollar bill and at last she had enough to buy the necklace.

Jenny loved her pearls; it made her feel dressed up.  She wore them everywhere, Sunday school, Kindergarten, even to bed.  The only time she took them off is when she went swimming or took a bubble bath.  Her mother said if they got wet they may turn green.

Jenny had a very loving Daddy, and every night when she was ready for bed, he would stop whatever he was doing and come up stairs to read her a story. 

One night when he had finished the story he asked, Jenny do you love me?

Oh yes daddy you know that I love you, then give me your pearls………Oh daddy not my pearls, but you can have my princes, the one with the white tail, remember daddy, the one you gave me, she’s my favorite

That’s Ok honey, Daddy loves you, good night, and he brushed her cheek with a Kiss.

About a week later, after the story time, Jennies Daddy asked again……Do you love me?

Daddy you know that I love you…then give me your pearls.  Oh Daddy not my pearls you can have my new doll, the brand new one I got for my birthday, she’s so beautiful and you can have her blanket the one that matches her sleeper.  That’s Ok, sleep well, God Bless you, Daddy loves you, and as always he brushed her cheek with a gentle kiss. 

A few nights later when he came close he noticed her chin was trembling and one silent tear rolled down her cheek, what is it jenny, what’s the matter?

Jenny didn’t say anything but lifted her little hand up to her daddy, and as she opened it there was her little pearl necklace, and with a little quiver she finally said, here Daddy its for you.

With tears gathering in his own eyes, Jenny’s kind Daddy reached out with one hand and took the dime store necklace and with the other hand he reached into his pocket and pulled out a blue velvet case with a strand of genuine pearls and gave them to Jenny

He had them all the time, he was just waiting for her to give up the dime store stuff so he could give her genuine treasures so like our heavenly Father

God's will be done

God's will be done

In the 20 Century there were faithful servants who put a special seal on history. We were all moved on January 28^th, 1998 when Mother Angelica founder of EWTN was cured.

God's will be done.

Not God's will be challenged

Not God's will be changed

To see Sr. Lucia you needed permission from the Holy Father, and very few were permitted. She was 95, on March 22^nd.

If the Blessed Mother wanted to give a message she always chooses little children, not the bishop, not priest, but little children sometimes illiterate.

Why in 1917 did she choose 3 children, cousins, Jacinta, Francisco, and Lucia?

Why was the Blessed Mother always talking to Lucia?

            Lucia had made her Holy Communion

The Blessed Mother gave special messages always on 13^th. May to Oct.

The Blessed Mother performed a miracle in front of 70,000 people, if one person saw it there may be reason to discount the event, but in front of 70,000, the Blessed Mother confirmed she was there.

In the 19^th and 20^th century there were 255 apparitions of the Blessed Mother.

How she cares about us.

How she is thinking about us……………… and she always chooses children

Out of the 255 apparitions the Holy Father from Rome assures you just 5 are valid. You can take them if you like because they are private revelations, there is no sin because they are private revelation, the Holy Father says the Blessed Mother was there and that She gave special messages.

Fr. Iglicki, a Polish priest, was taken by surprise and lost the first 10 min. of his meeting with Sr. Lucia.  He thought her face was radiant; she looked like she was 17years old.

She is unique from 6 billion people in the world in that she saw hell purgatory and paradise, something we cannot see in our life.

We are 10million, and the Blessed Mother promised:

If we follow her and say the rosary, faithful servants we will change this world completely for a better one.

We are so privileged to be living in this time to see how all the Blessed Mother promised in 1917 is being fulfilled right now.

The Blessed Mother promised that Russia will be converted and the terrible system will come to an end.

The communist system collapsed without blood shed in a very peaceful way and it happened always on the day of the Blessed Mother.

Poland Feb. 2

Solidarity and the communist parties got together, they embraced each other and said

“We ask for forgiveness”

45 years of extermination came in just one-minute transition of power

Hungary March 25^th

Transition of power developed smoothly, communism disappeared

Czech December 8

Communism collapsed and all the right government took power

Romania December 25, 1989

All changed in just a few minutes.

Everything changed in just a few minutes

Who did that?

The Blessed Mother used some faithful servants to make the changes.

Now an international celebrity.

His father was not Russian he was a communist that came from Santiago compo Stella.  In 1917 he embraced the revolution, after the revolution took root he wanted to destroy the czar, first it was necessary for him to become a citizen.

His name was Gorbech,

The First secretary changed his name to Gorbechev

He fell in love with a Russian girl, she was orthodox, what is the power of the lady, she converted her husband, baptized and confirmed him according to the rights of the Eastern Church.

They had 2 children

Michel and Alexander,………………….. Baptized and confirmed them.

In this way the Blessed Mother prepared the changes

The Election of March 25, 1985

Recall there were three candidates

Ø  Grission, from Moscow

Ø  Romanoff from Petersburg

Ø  Michel

The votes were tied, 5,5, and 5

Michel’s father in law, father of Rica Gobachev, gave him 6

He became youngest first secretary in the world.

The Blessed Mother used him to destroy the system

One of his first changes was on December 1, 1989; He went to see Holy Father with his wife and Chevrenofsky.

Now we deal with the greatest conversion in the world,

A rosary was given to Eve ret Chevrenofsky by the Holy Father.

Before he was a faithful follower of Lennon, Stalin and Marx, …….5years ago he changed.  On his desk, you’ll now find the beautiful icon of the Blessed Mother.

We are now in the 3rd millennium

The Blessed Mother promised to change this world…………………………….. and she changed the world.

We have to be faithful servants!

We need to be Good instruments in the hands of the Blessed Mother.

How:

v  With our rosary

v  Our good deeds

As a Christian to embrace not the culture of death but the culture of life, of faith, hope and love.

Padre Pio, of Pietrilocena, died September 23rd 1968; he is now canonized .

Did you know?

He prayed 10 rosaries a day.

He was gifted with Bi Location, with the ability to read your soul.

His wounds after 3 hours completely disappeared, Why; because no one can take the wounds to heaven but Jesus Christ so we can recognize him.

“For every follower of Jesus Christ pray, hope and don’t worry

be faithful followers of Jesus Christ”.
