Copy of Copy of MATER

"They have no wine ....

Do as He tells you"

"Son, behold your Mother"

Mater, you are a mother and that is enough. A mother is always for her children security, closeness, presence, tenderness, energy. Your heart is always attentive to meet any need. You know when we need to be strong, gentle, patient, creative, optimistic ...

Open our hearts to the Lord Jesus, to His action in us. Let us know that our life changes when we let the Lord Jesus enter.

Mater, keep me in your heart so I can discover the Heart of your Son. A heart full of mercy, of forgiveness, of tenderness, of faithful love. So that I identify with Him in such a way, that my heart resembles His Heart and I can manifest that love to others.

Listen before the image of Mater the words one day Mary pronounced at Cana: "Do as He tells you" ...... and the water turned into tasty wine…

Find a space of silence and listen to what the Lord Jesus has to tell you to answer to HIS desire; then your words, your attitudes and your actions will become a "feast" for others

We invite you to get in front of an image of Mater and make a space of silence to meet Her, and through Her, with Jesus.

AN ENCOUNTER WITH MATER

"My soul glorifies the Lord"

We go so fast through life that we barely realize the wonders that what we see ... "soil, water, mountains, everything is caress of God" (Laudato If, 84).

Look again at the image of Mater, and discover a landscape that speaks of creation.

Try to look around you with new eyes, thank the Lord for this gift, and sing along with Her, "My soul glorifies the Lord"

"Rejoice, the Lord is with you"

"Rejoice" is the first thing that Mary listens from God, and the first thing we must also listen to.

Look at the serenity in Mater, she reflects the profound joy of knowing she is God´s beloved. It is the inner joy that is born in those who live every day with the conviction that they are not alone; Maria experiences the deep love of God, knowing she is inhabited by Him.

Think of a situation where you have experienced joy ... can you discover His presence?

AMASC - October 2015

"The Holy Spirit will come upon you"

Maria remains close to us as she does to the presence of Jesus. Upon discovering her Heart as the most united and conformed to the Heart of her Son, the Family of the Society of the Sacred Heart entrusts itself in a special way to Her so that she may lead us to Jesus.

(Cfr. Constitutions RSCJ n° 9)

Mater, if I look at your image I realize you interrupted your work to establish a deeper contact with Jesus. Many times the activity excites me, I know I can also connect with Him while working ... but you show me that it is important to reserve a special time for Him.

Open our hearts to the Lord Jesus, to His action in us. Let us know that our life changes when we let the Lord Jesus come into them.

Mater Admirabilis, teach us to be silent so we can enter our heart and discover it is inhabited by God.

Mater Admirabilis, teach us to say yes, when that yes opens us to Jesus.

Mater Admirabilis, may your company be the star that brightens our nights and show us the way to Jesus.

Mater Admirabilis, give us the silence of your love and your peace.

Mater Admirabilis, give us a love capable of giving without fear and without reservation.

Mater Admirabilis, may your example as a Mother be our strength.

Mater Admirabilis, Invite us always to do what He tells us.

Mater Admirabilis, teach us to remain in His love.

Mater Admirabilis, keep us in your heart to discover the heart of your Son.

Mater Admirabilis, show us that the faithful and generous fulfillment of our mission makes us free.

Amen
