Eucharist in Mary and Through Mary

"Finally, we must do everything for Mary. We take Mary for our proximate end, our mysterious intermediary and the easiest way of reaching him. Relying on her protection, we should undertake and carry out great things for our noble Queen. We must defend her privileges when they are questioned and uphold her good name when it is under attack. We must attract everyone, if possible, to her service and to this true and sound devotion. As a reward for these little services, we should expect nothing in return save the honour of belonging to such a lovable Queen and the joy of being united through her to Jesus, her Son, by a bond that is indissoluble in time and in eternity."
- from True Devotion to Mary (265)

This preparation culminates in the Blessed Sacrament with Mary as the Tabernacle...Jesus as the fruit with Mary as the tree...He as the sacrifice and she as the hands that offered Him up. Are you ready to receive...to commit...to lift up...to die...to rise...in them, with them and for them?

I ask again, how is your heart? What are you thinking and experiencing right now? You notice that you don't feel much of anything. You actually are not supposed to either way. By now you understand that making the choice to give yourself to someone isn't about the feelings at all. It's like you said, the proof of someone's love for you will be the choice they make to pick up your cross and help you carry it. There isn't much value for "falling head over heels in love". The evidence will be their joining you along your passion because you will also choose to join them along theirs.

The same stands for your relationship with Christ. He wants to know as He asks you, too - "Do you love Me?" Your words and sentiments will surely make Him smile, but it is your presence with Him on Calvary that brings the most joy to His heart. Mary is not noted in Scripture to say very much, but she is there at the major milestones of salvation history: the fall of Man, the life of Christ, the death of Christ, the resurrection of Christ, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, the growth of the early Church. And she will be there in the end, which will mark the birth of the new Jerusalem, as it is called. She lives her Fiat. So should you, little one. This will be your soul's greatest fulfillment - to move in the holy will of God throughout your entire life.

There is still much formation and purification necessary, for you have not yet learned all there is to know about love and true Christian service. Thus it is best that you open your eyes to the lessons that come to you each day with every encounter you have and situation you are allowed. If you are not paying attention, you may miss them, so pray that you will be in tune to the whisper of God at all times.

Just do what needs to be done, and whatever is out of your control, give back to Him...for it may be there for you to learn simply that you can't control everything.

"My heart is ready, O God! I will sing praise and make music. Awake my soul!" (Ps. 108:2)
