R. We pray for the virtue of humility and we want
the gift of fear of God so we are in our
proper place – We don't want to rebel
against God's will – We are under God –
We are to seek to be what God wants us to be.
We know we must grow more and more to
be like God.
We have peace because we are in
the right place with God.
God is Absolute truth – We seek to have
God come and inhabit our soul. God who
is absolute truth and purity can only come
into the soul as the soul is open more and
more to God, in living in purity, in the light,
in truth.
God is absolute truth. God is love.
If one wishes to have God abundantly fill
him – he must not have deception and
lies in himself.
This love inhabiting the soul, when God comes
abundantly there-in and dwells there, brings
with it fruitfulness of the soul it inhabits
and dwells in. The soul is open – possessed by
the Divine Master – giving oneself to God –
to being submissive to the will of God – allowing
God to operate in their soul and surrendering
to the Beloved.
God when He inhabits the soul, who
gives himself to Him, brings forth fruit
for the Kingdom in his life given to God.
One can see how a person seeking control and
their own selfish will opposed to God's will
is not the fertile ground in which the
Almighty, infinite, all pure God dwells in.
Selfishness is the opposite of knowing
one's place in reference to God. Knowing one's
place in reference to God means that a man
would never wish to raise himself above
God in his mind and heart. His thoughts are
as Mary – being the soul of fruitfulness.
Christ was formed in the womb
of the Virgin Mary – Mary was pure, Mary
sinless, Mary carried the fruit of
the womb, Jesus.
We are to have a harvest of justice
and love, as God dwells more and more
abundantly in us.
The lies of an unjust man cannot
be the fertile soil in which this
divine fruitfulness can take place.
Fruitfulness in building the Kingdom of God
comes from the heart and soul of the just.
We see the tree that God showed Adam and
Eve and were told not to eat the forbidden
fruit.
We see how God is so loving to us, to give
us baptism and in baptism, a sharing in His life –
This life is nurtured with the Eucharist –
We are fed at the table of the Lord –
It is a paradox to expect fruitfulness for the
Kingdom of God to come from one steeped in his
own will opposed to God and living in
lies.
We see the miracle of a rich harvest. How the
fertile soil can bring forth beautiful fruit
when it is watered and bathed in the sunlight
we watch the plant grow and bear fruit.
God gives us a sharing in His life in
baptism and feeds us with the Eucharist –
We see the fruitfulness of building the Kingdom
of God blossom in the man of truth and love –
like a woman carrying a babe within
her womb, we see that fruitfulness
of God growing and bearing much fruit
for the Kingdom of God –
But the malice of sinful ways within the
heart is like a blight of poison
and disease attacking the plants which
could have produced a beautiful harvest
under the influence of purity and love
and the right conditions to grow.
Why would a man try to be above God?
A man must know his place under God.
The man of control opposing God's will
and implementing his own darkness
will know the justice of God, for God
is all just.
Like plants in the well cared garden – we
can grow and prosper in the truth of
the divine and the love pouring forth
from Jesus who gives us baptism
and feeds us with Himself in the Eucharist.
The Holy Spirit enters the soul and makes
the soul the soil of divine fruitfulness.
God comes and dwells in us and
God the Holy Spirit moves in us. It is not
we who make ourselves holy, it is
God who moves in us and we are
open, living in purity, submission,
and obedience to God – being the fertile
soil, the person of truth, that is
ready to receive God and His gifts given
to us. The soul is moved by the Holy Spirit.
The soul is waiting God's favor – as a
woman carrying a child allows the
baby to grow in her womb –
The soul is open waiting the favor
of God.
We are waiting God to move in us.
We are docile to His touch –
The deception and lies would throw this
whole transformation out –
God is truth –
God works in love – He is love –
We are being formed more and more in
the image of God –
We live in greater purity and holiness –
We seek to shed any impurities in
our soul as the Divine artist
moves to sanctify us more and more
in the image of God –
We seek the Light of Christ in our soul –
R. There is peace and love and harmony
with the Father in living in
His will, in love –
We are formed more and more in
the image of God –
We were created by God the Father
for this –
We see the transfiguration and we
remember the words
"This is My beloved Son in whom
I am well pleased –
Listen to Him"
Jesus: Receive the Holy Spirit –
Open your hearts
Be believers in Me –
You are to live more and more in My
image and likeness –
Live in truth –
Live in love –
Know your place –
Be docile –
Come to the Eucharist –
Beg God to fill your soul –
Live in purity –
Seek holiness.

Luke 1: 46-55
And Mary said:
My soul proclaims
the greatness of the Lord
and my spirit rejoices
in God my Saviour;
because he has looked upon
the humiliation of his servant.
Yes, from now onwards
all generations will call me blessed,
for the Almighty
has done great things for me.
Holy is his name,
and his faithful love extends age after age
to those who fear him.
He has used the power of his arm,
he has routed the arrogant of heart.
He has pulled down princes
from their thrones
and raised high the lowly.
He has filled the starving with good things,
sent the rich away empty.
He has come to the help
of Israel his servant,
mindful of his faithful love
—according to the promise
he made to our ancestors—
of his mercy to Abraham
and to his descendants for ever.
Mary:
I am the Handmaid of the Lord.
