Month of Divine Mercy
0 Comments An extraordinary jubilee ‘Holy Year of Mercy’ started on Dec. 8th last year.
The Pope quoted Luke 6:36 – “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” Dear friends of the Mystical Rose,
While we can have June as the Month of the Body of Christ, since Divine Mercy Jesus shared with St. Faustina that the Eucharist is His Great Gift of Mercy unto Eternal Life, this message on this Month of Divine Mercy will also share some on the Eucharist. Namely, just as holy angels never sinned and are creatures, they “rejoice whenever the rosary is recited” [in the state of grace]. Mary revealed that to my distant relative Blessed Alan de la Roche. The Promises of the Rosary certainly have much mercy too. Angels rejoice also per the rosary, and this insight of mine explains why: although the Queen of Angels, Mary is a creature as they are too, yet the Mother of God, and never sinned either [as the unfallen angels never have]. Angels are gratefully amazed that a creature – MARY – became the Mother of GOD. Too, angels are at Mass as the ‘Holy, Holy, Holy Lord’ prayer has it, and especially Eucharistic Prayer #1 – “In humble prayer we ask You, Almighty God: command that the gifts be borne by the hands of Your holy Angel to Your altar on high…” [continuing with] so that we who receive the Gifts of Christ via Holy Communion “may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing….”
The PostCommunion Prayer of St. Thomas Aquinas relates the 5th Luminous Mystery – of the Last Supper – to the “Ineffable Banquet” in Heaven. Also, our Mystical Rose’s 3 roses/colors pertain: the White Rose to the Lord’s Prayer [‘… give us this day our Daily Bread…’ – mainly the Eucharist and as Daily as possible, too]; the Red Rose to the Sacrifice of the Mass; the Yellow-Gold Rose with ‘Yellow’ being prophetic of the Illuminative [Luminous] Mysteries, especially the 5th One of the Last Supper. Maria, Rosa Mystica’s 3 Roses go with these 3 Titles of Christ, too [the 2nd One per the inspiration that the H.S. gave me, with the others being Biblical] – Lilium Convallium (the Lily of the Valley) with the White Rose; Rosa Golgothana (the Rose of Golgotha – Christ so Bloody on the Cross) with the Red Rose; Agnus Dei – Lucis Eternae (the Lamb of God, more than ‘Light of the World’ – the Lamb of Eternal Light of Glory). Of mystics, Bl. Anna Catharina Emmerick wrote regarding the Last Supper and the BVM, “Jesus broke off a scrap from the first morsel and let it fall into the chalice, and at the same moment I saw, as it seemed to me, the Blessed Virgin receiving the Blessed Sacrament, although She was not present in the Caenaculum. It seemed to me that I saw Her enter at the door and come before the Lord to receive the Blessed Sacrament. I saw also that John after the Resurrection gave the Most Blessed Sacrament to the Blessed Virgin.” Maria Rosa Mystica surely emphasizes the great merciful gift of the Eucharist in Her messages to Pierina Gilli, and for guaranteeing our salvation by receiving the Host as daily as possible yet always in a state of grace, and as full of grace as is possible, especially too per Her Most Holy Rosary and more. The great mystic Venerable Mary of Agreda wrote: “in the Cenacle most holy Mary in Her retreat was raised to highest contemplation, in which She witnessed all that passed as if She were present.” Too she adds that John the Apostle knew that Jesus felt even of Judas that “though he is my greatest enemy […] I have opened up to him the arms of My Mercy.” She added that Mary “who from Her retreat observed and followed Jesus, prostrated Herself upon the floor [….] She, as His Helpmate, united Her petitions with His, in order that by Her faithful companionship She might move the eternal Father to so much the greater mercy [….] The Virgin Mother, in Her retreat, prostrated Herself on the ground and adored Her Son in the Blessed Sacrament with incomparable reverence [….] The great high priest Christ raised up His own consecrated Body and Blood in order that all who were present at this first Mass might adore It in a special manner, as they also did. During this elevation His most pure Mother, St. John, Enoch and Elijah, were favored with an especial insight into the mystery of His Presence in the Sacred Species; how with the Person of the Word, was also united the Person of the Father and of the H.S. All this was understood most profoundly by the Heavenly Lady Mary [….] While receiving His own Body and Blood Christ our Lord composed a canticle of praise to the eternal Father [….] He took another particle of the consecrated bread and handed it to the archangel Gabriel who brought and communicated It to the BV Mary.” Holy-Hearty-Happy April month of Divine Mercy! 0 Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
