Holy Mother of God...

Full of Grace...
The Lord is with thee...
Blessed among women...
For You have borne Our Saviour!

Hail Myriam... to her parents their beloved, wished-for child, hence her name!

She desired whilst growing up in the temple, where her aged parents had deposited her towards the end of their earthly lives, to be the handmaiden of the one who was to be the mother of The Lords chosen one.
Father Zacharias of St. John Baptist Monastery, Essex explaines her humbleness in her prayer for this desire before God which granted her to be raised up from the lowest place (of service to another who would be chosen) to be the very chosen Mother for God; Who came to BE LIFE for those who chose, and choose, to follow Him.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God; The Word became flesh and dwe;t among us..."
This Word, This Person, is life giving, but not just by reading and but by actual acceptance and interaction, actual participation with the Person of Christ, The Father, and The Holy Spirit.
As God grew in the womb of Mary, Mother of God, let us ask that He visit our hearts and minds as we look to the final enactment of The Incarnation - Holy Pascha, Our Passover, and the love which is poured upon mankind, made in His image, which continues to turn it's back on that LOVE and healing and let us pray; Lord Have Mercy.

Mama Mia!

Hail Myriam, full of grace, the Lord is with thee...
The angel Gabriel's greeting.

Blessed art thou among women...
This from her kinswoman Elisabeth who was inspired to exclaim this while Mary was spending time with her and Zacharias and coming to terms with the enormity of what had been asked of her, and who also was pregnant, with John the Baptist. "Who am I, that the Mother of My Lord should visit me..."

Blessed is the fruit of thy womb...
Called out by a person in the crowd while Jesus was about His ministry.

The ripples of God throwing Mary into the pool of Humanity still cause disturbance in life today.

May she always help us find her Son and Saviour, Our Lord and God, Jesus Christ; and in knowing Him, know ourselves, that we forgive and love and live in peace.

One of the most beautiful prayers of recent times...

When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.

Let it be, let it be, .....

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.

You know the tune, so go on... pray!
As you do She will pray for you and add her AMEN!
Amen!
