Tomorrow, the feast of St. Monica, is a ‘little’ mother’s day. And we remember and pray for all our mothers who did not give up on us, their sons, and saw within us the gem of holy knighthood. May God draw you close to his loving heart and bless you.
Dear Saint Monica, pray for me that I may, like your son, turn from my sin and become a great saint for the glory of God. Amen.
With the day consecration to Mary now here, Br. Julian gives his final remarks in order to illuminate the gift you’ve given of yourself, and the gift you’ve received, in this special act of consecration to Mary.
Our Lord calls the faithful to renounce the spirit of the world. We are called to seek after Our Lord without reserve and without seeking the applause or praise of others. Br. Julian discusses turning away from the spirit of the world and towards Our Lord.
Obedience is a virtue by which a person promptly carries out the command of his superior. This virtue will become more perfect as the person is more prompt to do the will of the superior even before the express command is given. May our obedience be an opportunity to glorify God following Jesus and Mary in their obedience to do the will of the Eternal Father.
Jesus devoted Himself entirely to Mary, why should we not do the same? Br. Julian explains how devotion and consecration to Mary strengthens the gift of our baptism.
Jesus calls us to love our neighbor and to not judge the state of their eternal soul. In this video, Br. Julian pinpoints how to take the narrow way of love and choosing God over worldliness.
The short and narrow way of the Christian path is difficult, but not when we bring ourselves to Mary. Br. Julian teaches how Jesus made His beloved Mother the surest, and simplest path to Heaven.
