Today is the 4th Week of Advent. The coming of the Lord is near. Let us ask Mary to prepare our hearts to receive the Baby Jesus.
Therefore, the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall conceive and bear a son and shall name him Emmanuel. Isaiah 7:14
A Virgin, a pure and humble heart, dedicated totally to loving God, completely available and generously disposed to His designs, was the one to cooperate, with her fiat, in the fulfillment of the plan of salvation. In the Virgin’s undivided, prayerful, generous and pure human heart a miraculous conception took place. A love so pure, so total, and so unconditional became so powerfully life-giving. The pure, immaculate love of a human heart was the soil, the perfect soil, to bear the child and to be the sign of the Presence of God among men. This is the great sign promised by Isaiah: love, pure, unconditional love is so powerful that it gives life. "Only love creates because love is the force, the powerful force, that calls forth life." Saint Maximilian Kolbe
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word." Then the angel departed from her. Luke 1:38
O Mary, the Mighty One has done great things for you and Holy is His Name. Help us, Mother Mary, to prepare our hearts for the Baby Jesus. Help us to be a sign of love to those we meet. We entrust all the names we receive through this ministry to you.
