4. HOW TO ANSWER GOD’S CALL TO LOVE AND HOLINESS:
IMITATE MARY’S MOTHERLY QUALITIES AND EFFORTS TO
TAKE CARE OF HER SON JESUS
5^th December 1998

HOLY SPIRIT: This is a teaching on the qualities of your Mother in her different roles, but always as your Mother. Over and above all, her qualities will shine through, and they are:

• Her hiddenness in the Sacred Heart of her Son Jesus
• Her generosity of Heart and spirit to become the Mother of Jesus, and at the same time, My Spouse (cf Luke 1:35, 38), and your Mother (cf Jn 19:27) – the Mother of the living (cf Gen3:20).
•  

IMITATE THE QUALITIES OF MARY’S LIFE LONG SACRIFICE AS
MOTHER OF JESUS AND OUR MOTHER:

1.    Courage at the foot of the Cross

2.    Selflessness

3.    Admitting God into your heart

4.    Loving Jesus with the love of Mary and the Holy Spirit

5.    Truthfulness

6.    Looking for opportunities in which to allow Christ’s light of love to shine through your heart to others, as a beacon lights up the whole sky in its area (cf Lk.8:16-18).

7.    Forgetfulness of self is most important in order to imitate your Mother, because she is the flower that God chose to bear its fruit – the Son of the Most High God, Jesus, her first born among the millions of her children, her seed of love (cf Genesis 3:15).

Gentle, kind, steadfast, assured, secure, having all power, overseeing all
things, and containing all spirits, intelligible, pure, subtle (Wis.7:23).
