A mother’s love could be described as “fierce” in the sense
that she would willingly give her life for the protection of her children. A motherly instinct kicks in when her child
is in danger, hurting, or in need, and she loses all sense of her own
well-being in favor of the protection of her child. So it is with the Mother of God. You are her child by grace and by the will of
Jesus her Son. As a result, she holds
you close to her heart in times of need and shelters you in her mantle of
protection. This motherly love is
offered even when you are not in harm’s way as a result of her unwavering
motherly care. She is an advocate for
you like none other. And she is not only
your mother; she is also the Mother of God.
And as the Mother of God, she obtains special graces for all her
children from her Divine Son. He answers
every request she makes on your behalf and will never abandon you. Stay close to her, nestled in her arms of
Mercy (See Diary #1097).
Have you consecrated yourself to the love, care and
protection of the Mother of God? If not,
why not? What are you waiting for? Does it confuse you why you should trust in
her maternal care? God deigned to create
a spiritual family of love and He entrusted His mother with your care. Motherly care is central to the natural order
of God’s design for humanity. Therefore,
it is only logical to conclude that it is also part of His supernatural plan
for humanity. Turn to her as your
spiritual mother and trust that the Lord wills to pour an abundance of Mercy
upon you through her mediation.
Dearest Mother, I love you
and entrust myself to your motherly care and intercession. I believe that you are my mother in the order
of grace and that you are “full of grace.”
Pour down upon me the motherly Mercy in your heart as I put my trust in
you. Dearest Mother, I consecrate myself
to you. Please pray for me. Jesus, I trust in You.
