The Triumph of Mary's Immaculate Heart

I am reminded, reviewing the above article by Fr. Tom about consecration and the action of Pope John Paul II in consecration himself and his papcy to Mary.

How powerful God can be in our lives if we open up to his love; all our actions should be a consecration to his Holy Will, just as Mary's "YES, Let it be done to me according to thy word" defines her life and ongoing mission in the world today. As children given a mother like Mary, we are compelled to give our wills back to Jesus.

In fact, this is a reflection of the relationship between God the Father and Jesus, A constant back and forth giviing of self which in fact births the Holy Spirit.

God desires us so much to surrender all to Him, so that we, in turn might have everthing.

Cell Phone vs. Bible

Something to think about:

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it as we traveled?
What if we used it in case of an emergency?
What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?

This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing...unlike our cell phone, we don't ever have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!

One other thing: No Dropped Calls!
