 The Visitation- M. Albertinelli |

O King of nations, and their Desired, the Cornerstone who makes all one: come and save our race, whom you formed out of clay. (Traditional "O" Anitphon)
Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! I call you to peace. Live it in your heart and all around you, so that all will know peace, peace that does not come from you but from God. Little children, today is a great day. Rejoice with me. Glorify the Nativity of Jesus through the peace that I give you. It is for this peace that I have come as your Mother, Queen of Peace. Today I give you my special blessing. Bring it to all creation, so that all creation will know peace. Thank you for having responded to my call." December 25, 1988
In this beautiful message from 1988, Our Lady declared: "Little children, today is a great day. Rejoice with me. Glorify the Nativity of Jesus through the peace that I give you." Doesn't she sound just like she did when she rejoiced with Elizabeth at the Visitation?
Let's sing and rejoice with her today! The Gospel for today is the Magnificat, her great song of praise:
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he remembered his promise of mercy, the promise he made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever. (Lk 1:46-55)
Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary at midnight in Bethlehem, in piercing cold. In that hour vouchsafe, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my desires, through the merits of my Savior, Jesus Christ and of his blessed Mother. Amen
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph! Cathy Nolan © Mary TV 2011
