PRAYERFUL PRESENCE
by Br. Benedict Joseph Maria, CFR

Our soul desire is to be in total union with our Saviour Jesus Christ, surrendering our life into His hands through our Blessed Mother, our perfect example and guide. Let our word to our Lord Jesus be that of our Blessed Mother to the Angel Gabriel, “Let it be done unto me according to thy word”. We must be docile and take our Blessed Mother as our guide and as she is a perfect example of prayerful presence, we emptying ourselves of self and filled with God and him alone, becoming Christ-like and ponder Gods word in our heart, making the word of God our life.

Our Blessed Mother is the example par excellance who we can imitate as a prayerful presence, and uniting ourselves intimately with our Redeemer and King Jesus, making our goal to draw souls to Him who is our hope, our Truth, and our Life.
