DISCIPLESHIP WITH A MARIAN IDENTITY

FRIENDSHIP WITH A MARIAN IDENTITY
(The love, bond, glue between Discipleship and Community) Friends of the Cross

Now there stood by the Cross of Jesus, his Mother and his Mother's sister, Mary of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. When Jesus therefore had seen his Mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his Mother: Woman, behold thy son. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy Mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own (John 19:25-27 Douay Rheims).
 

And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me (Luke 9:23 DR).
And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They have no wine. And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? My hour is not yet come. His mother saith to the waiters: Whosoever he shall say to you, do ye (John 2:3-5 DR).

 GOAL D2
Develop the practice of prayer and penance and remain hidden within the Immaculate Heart of our Queen Mother Mary as we labour in childbirth, helping Mary give spiritual birth to all her children in love, united with Jesus' Blood, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, and in obedience to our Father's will (cf Galatians 4:19; Revelation 12:2).

Help Mary, trust her, love her, pray with her with the weapons of war ­ the Mass and Holy Communion, the Sacraments of Jesus' Church, the Rosary, the Chaplet of Mercy, and the Brown Scapular of her army, and be trained and developed as soldiers of Christ in the power of the Cross, under the command and God-given authority of Mary, our Mother and Queen, our immediate superior, the General of Christ's army and all the servants of God, and our constant companion.

COMMUNITY WITH A MARIAN IDENTITY

UNITY WITH A MARIAN IDENTITY

I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel (Genesis 3:15 DR).

And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself. (John 12:32 DR).

That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me (John 17:21 DR).

And a great sign appeared in heaven: A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars: And being with child, she cried travailing in birth, and was in pain to be delivered (Revelation 12:1-2 DR).

Abide by the rules of the Church, and support, pray for and listen well to the Vicar of Christ, Pope John Paul II, and obey him because he represents Jesus Christ, as he guides the Church to unity, through Jesus, with Jesus, in Jesus, in the unity of the Holy Spirit for the honour and glory of our Heavenly Father.
