Picture of Our Blessed Mother at the Annunciation when her conversation had finished with Gabriel, she was instantly infused and surrounded by Light. The Light was Jesus being formed in her by the Holy Spirit. The Light coalesced with the grace within her and forever more never left her, then when Jesus was born their two hearts entwined hers centred on His and His contained in hers.
This Light and Love could never leave her as she contained all that was needed for the Light to grow within and without. All people were drawn to her Son's Light and so were drawn to that same Light within her. This Light along with her grace formed her and held her in its arms even at the Cross of her Son. She is the quiet, humble, persevering Maternal Light that is Our Mother entwining our hearts with hers and leading us to the greater light of her Son Jesus. Her mission is to bring poor souls (not leaving souls to fend for themselves) to her Son Jesus.
She asks us to help her in this mission;
"My dear children I am your Mother and I love you with an unending love, a maternal love.
When I see you try so hard to be good and kind and to pray for your brothers and sisters my Maternal Heart soars with joy.
I pray continually for each of you at the foot of my Son's Cross.
Join me in prayer and you will see great conversions of hearts, minds and souls.
I bless you with my Motherly love in all tenderness.
Mary."
Psalm 148
1 Alleluia! Praise Yahweh from the heavens, praise him in the heights.
2 Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his host!
3 Praise him, sun and moon, praise him, all shining stars,
4 praise him, highest heavens, praise him, waters above the heavens.
5 Let them praise the name of Yahweh at whose command they were made;
6 he established them for ever and ever by an unchanging decree.
7 Praise Yahweh from the earth, sea-monsters and all the depths,
9 mountains and every hill, orchards and every cedar,
10 wild animals and all cattle, reptiles and winged birds,
11 kings of the earth and all nations, princes and all judges on earth,
12 young men and girls, old people and children together.
13 Let them praise the name of Yahweh, for his name alone is sublime, his splendour transcends earth and heaven.
14 For he heightens the strength of his people, to the praise of all his faithful, the children of Israel, the people close to him.
Luke 10 v 25 - 37
25 And now a lawyer stood up and, to test him, asked, 'Master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?'
26 He said to him, 'What is written in the Law? What is your reading of it?'
27 He replied, 'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.'
28 Jesus said to him, 'You have answered right, do this and life is yours.'
29 But the man was anxious to justify himself and said to Jesus, 'And who is my neighbour?'
30 In answer Jesus said, 'A man was once on his way down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell into the hands of bandits; they stripped him, beat him and then made off, leaving him half dead.
31 Now a priest happened to be travelling down the same road, but when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
32 In the same way a Levite who came to the place saw him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a Samaritan traveller who came on him was moved with compassion when he saw him.
34 He went up to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them. He then lifted him onto his own mount and took him to an inn and looked after him.
35 Next day, he took out two denarii and handed them to the innkeeper and said, "Look after him, and on my way back I will make good any extra expense you have."
36 Which of these three, do you think, proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the bandits' hands?'
37 He replied, 'The one who showed pity towards him.' Jesus said to him, 'Go, and do the same yourself.'
