Mary's role greater than we know
-
July 12, 2021“If Mary is so important and great, why doesn’t the Bible, or the writings of the 1st Apostles go into more detail about her role?”--
It is hidden in plain site…
In the writings of Ven. Mary of Agreda, the Heavenly Father shares, “I have not revealed these mysteries in the primitive Church, because they are so great, that the faithful would have been lost in the contemplation and admiration of them at a time when it was more necessary to establish firmly the law of grace and of the Gospel. Although all mysteries of religion are in perfect harmony with each other, yet human ignorance might have suffered recoil and doubt at their magnitude, when faith in the Incarnation and Redemption and the precepts of the new law of the Gospel were yet in their beginnings.”
Also, so much is written about Mary if we read between the lines and immerse ourselves deeply in the word of God and the fullness of its message.
To give one example, Christ spent three years in His public ministry, to teach, preach and form us. But He spent 33 years with Mary; because she is the 1st disciple par excellence, who becomes our Queen, our Mentor, our Guide; -- our type of “Rule of Life,” to draw us as well to live wholeheartedly our Baptismal calling.
She is the “Virgin-made Church” (St. Francis of Assisi); the “Spotless Bride”, “the Holy City, New Jerusalem coming down out of Heaven” (Rev 21), the “Ark of the New Covenant” (Rev 11:19), and the “Woman clothed with the Sun” (Rev 12) in battle with the black Trinity (Rev 12,13; “huge red dragon…beast like a leopard … beast like a lamb”)
And, hence, the evil one has wanted to “wash her away” by “vomit[ing] out a torrent of water” (Rev 12). “But the earth came to the help of the woman…and swallowed the river… Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus. And, he stood on the sand of the sea” (Rev 12:15-17). Note: the sand has no solid foundation.
One who does not recognize the grace of true devotion to Mary, does not recognize the fullness of who Christ is, and the very high calling He has for each of us who say “yes” to it.
“I wish to open a portal for the just ones through which they can find access to my mercy; I wish to give them a light by which they can dispel the gloom that envelops the eyes of their minds. I wish to furnish them a suitable remedy for restoring them to my grace. Happy they who find it, and blessed they who shall appreciate its value, rich they who shall come upon this treasure, and blessed and very wise those who shall search into and shall understand its marvels and hidden mysteries. I desire to make known to mortals how much intercession of Her is worth, who brought restoration of life by giving mortal existence to the immortal God.” (Mary of Agreda, words from God the Father)."To Our Divine Eucharistic Bridegroom, through Our Immaculate Mother!"MOMEP.O.
