Mary: Star of the New Evangelisation

منذ 11 years

“Sitting at the school of the Heart of Mary is where we learn the deepest mysteries of Christ!” – Mother Adela Galindo Pope Paul VI and St John Paul II both called Mary ‘the star of evangelisation’. What does this mean, and why is it significant in the times we are in? Paul Elarde explains in this final edition of A Minute with Mary. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-27.3-StarofnewEvangelisation.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript Pope Paul VI expressed his desire in 1975 for Mary to be the “Star of the Evangelization” for the Church. Building on this St John Paul II entrusted the work of the New Evangelization to Mary, calling her the “Star of the New Evangelization.” We are living in unprecedented times; the battle between good and evil spoken about in Genesis 3 are coming to a climax. This is the culmination of the age of Mary which great saints like St Louis De Monfort and St John Paul II spoke about. Stephen Walford writes: The Church of the twenty-first century needs to be in the Upper Room with Mary in the cenacle of a new Pentecost. It needs to listen to Mary while being docile to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, who is the beginning and end of all missionary activity. As Mary is the spouse of the Holy Spirit, it is given to her as our Mediatrix and Advocate to lead this new evangelization and to obtain from Him the necessary graces. Mother Adela writes: Who better than Mary can reveal Christ? Was it not in Her arms that the world – the shepherds (representing Israel) and the wise men (the Gentiles) – found Jesus? Is it not She who presents Christ to the world? Is it not She who, as teacher and singular witness, reveals to the newly born Church the mysteries of Christ? Yes, sitting at the school of the Heart of Mary is where we learn the deepest mysteries of Christ! The post Mary: Star of the New Evangelisation appeared first on Cradio .…

What is the Five First Saturdays Devotion?

Are you familiar with the five first Saturdays devotion? Paul Elarde explains why it exists and what it involves in this edition of A Minute with Mary. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-27.2-5FirstSaturdays.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript One way we can give something of great value to Jesus and Mary is to fulfil Mary’s request to make reparation for our sins and the sins of the world by doing what is called the Five First Saturdays of the month devotion. The sins of the world greatly offend the love that Jesus and Mary have for every person. Mary said She is especially offend by blasphemies and ingratitude. Who will make an offering of love to repair for the hurt? Hopefully, every Catholic will want to step out to show their love! Not only is the act of love very simple, but Mary offers to those who do, the promise of assistance at the hour of death, with the graces necessary for their salvation. Now that’s akin to something like you being asked to pay just $10 to settle a $100,000 debt and in then appreciation, the lender gives you back a gift of a million dollars!! God’s love is astounding! So on the first Saturday of each month for five consecutive months, we do the following: Go the confession with 8 days; receive Holy Communion worthily; prayer five decades of the Rosary; meditate for 10 to 15 minutes accompanying Mary, reflecting about some mysteries of the Rosary. Remember to do all this with the intentions of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. If we don’t respond to Our Lady’s request, then who will? This simple act of love could be one of the greatest things you ever did in your whole life! The post What is the Five First Saturdays Devotion? appeared first on Cradio .…

Learn Mercy Through Your Falls

One major obstacle in your relationship with God could be your tendency to focus on your failures. Paul Elarde reflects in this edition of A Minute with Mary. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-27.1-MercythroughFalls.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript When was the last time you spoke to your mother? OK, so when was the last time you spoke to your heavenly Mother? Do you realise that Mary knows and loves you even more than your earthly mother? Run to Her like a child runs to its mother and bring all your worries and miseries to Her. Ask Her to teach you how to love Her and Her Son, Jesus. Ask Her to obtain for you the grace so you can allow God to love you. Sometimes we block God’s love because we focus too much on our failures and by doing so we keep God at arms distance. Ask Mary to obtain for you the grace to be able to focus on God’s love for you, not your failures. That way you will experience His mercy and learn to trust Him. When a child is learning to walk the parent does not punish the child every time he falls over. No, the parent focuses on the child’s rising. They simply want the child to keep trying, only then will the child make any progress. In fact, a child can only learn to walk through falling. God loves us the same way. He is not interested in focusing on our failure but wants us to focus on His love and mercy. In fact, we only learn about His love and mercy through our falls. O Mary, teach us these truths so we can love You and Your Son more every day, even when we fall. The post Learn Mercy Through Your Falls appeared first on Cradio .…

The Truth About Prayer & Priorities

Haven’t got time for prayer? Paul offers some words of advice in this edition of Minute with Mary. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-25.3-prayerandpriorities.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript The importance of prayer can never be overstated. The crisis of Christianity today is a lack of prayer – even for those dedicated to God. We live in a fast-moving age and in a world where work and entertainment are among the top of our priorities. How often do we hear good people say, “I don’t have enough time for prayer?” Well I once heard of a great remedy for those who feel they have little time for prayer. The solution is this: When you find you don’t have enough time for prayer, then pray only during those times you would normally eat your meals. Then afterwards, it will be very easy to find the time to eat! So the reality is that we do have enough time for those things which have a priority in our hearts. Where is your heart? If there is not enough time in your life for prayer, then can I politely suggest to you that your heart is attached to false things? We get attached to our own inner compulsions that we justify, are somehow more important. But the irony is that these activities never satisfy the deepest yearnings of our heart. Only through prayer will you be able to satisfy the hunger in your heart! The challenge is for us to stop living a lie and start living the truth – a relationship with Jesus and Mary is indeed the truth about a meaningful and productive life!

An Inspiring Young Witness: Bl Pier Giorgio Frassati

“To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth, that is not living, but merely existing.” – Bl Pier Giorgio Frassati In this edition of Minute with Mary, Paul shares about one of his favourite people, the youthful practical joker Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-25.2-pierGiorgioFrassati.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript The young Italian, Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, who died in 1925 at just 24, is a great model and inspiration for all people. Pier Giorgio was a practical joker; he loved people and was a natural leader. He was very athletic and he especially loved to climb the mountains. But he was also a great evangeliser, continually witnessing his faith through love of God and love of neighbour. He had a deep and active prayer life that was a springboard for his joy-filled life. When asked regarding certain slum houses of the poor he visited, ‘how do you overcome your revulsion at the nauseating smell?’ Pier Giorgio replied, ‘Don’t ever forget that even though the house is sordid, you are approaching Christ. Remember what the Lord said; the good you do to the poor is good done to me’. He went on to say, ‘All around the sick, the poor, the unfortunate, I see a particular light, a light that we do not have.’ Pier Giorgio’s best friend Marco said: I would not hesitate to say that the secret of Pier Giorgio’s spiritual perfection is to be found in his devotion to Mary. …A day never passed that did not find him at the feet of his heavenly Mother with his rosary, his favourite prayer, entwined in his fingers. My personal favourite quote of Pier Giorgio is this: To live without faith, without a patrimony to defend, without a steady struggle for truth, that is not living, but merely existing. Pier Giorgio’s incorrupt body now lies in the cathedral of Turin, Italy. The post An Inspiring Young Witness: Bl Pier Giorgio Frassati appeared first on Cradio .…

Why a Devotion to the ‘Two Hearts’?

“Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.” – Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI In this edition of Minute with Mary, Paul looks at the significance of devotion to the hearts of Jesus and Mary, and our call to personal relationship with them. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-25.1-TwoHearts-notminds.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript When God gave us the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, He did so because the Christian life is about a living, personal relationship with Jesus and Mary. It’s not a head trip. Pope Benedict XVI once said: Being a Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction. God made our hearts yearn; it can only be satisfied by Him! How foolish and time wasting it is for us to seek satisfaction in the things of the world. How tragic it is that some people waste their whole lives on the trivial and miss the meaning of life! Scripture tells us that in the end, we will be judged not on our success, but on how much love is in our hearts. By tapping into the source of love – the Hearts of Jesus and Mary – we bring truth and lasting happiness into our lives. Sadly, most of us wait until our material world crashes into pieces before we seek a deeper meaning to life. God has structured life so that it continually calls us to truth. God calls us to have devotion to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary – the ‘Two Hearts’ as it is sometimes referred to – it’s not the two minds! Jesus and Mary will lead us to the way, the truth and the life – eternal life! The post Why a Devotion to the ‘Two Hearts’? appeared first on Cradio .…

It’s All About Unitive Love!

“Only those who have fallen in love with God and have no envy in their hearts can begin to grasp the love between the Holy Spirit and the Immaculate Virgin.” – Fr Patrick Greenough Paul further explores the relationship between Mary and the Holy Spirit in this edition of A Minute with Mary. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-22.3-UnitiveLove.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript Franciscan priest Fr Patrick Greenough, in writing the forward on the writings of St Maximilian Kolbe, wrote this about the relationship between Mary and the Holy Spirit: Only those who have fallen in love with God and have no envy in their hearts can begin to grasp the love between the Holy Spirit and the Immaculate Virgin. It is a love where one seeks only what the other seeks; a love that wills only what the other wills; a love that unites one to the other totally and absolutely without any separation whatsoever; a love so total and unitive and intimate it is “almost” as is there is no distinction between them. Now this beautiful text takes St Maximilian Kolbe’s Marian theology and captures it in the heart so that we can begin to get a sense of the vastness and depth of God’s love and His special relationship with Mary. It helps us to discover that God’s love is much more than most of us realise. Oh, the great mysteries of God’s love that Mary has experienced in Her life. Her unity of love with God is way beyond what most of us even think is possible. Mary calls us to enter deeply into this love and to discover for ourselves that His mercy really is unfathomable and that even the angels are in awe of His love and mercy. Every meaningful thing in life has its truth grounded in love. O Mary, teach us these priceless treasures of love! The post It’s All About Unitive Love! appeared first on Cradio .…

St Maximilian Kolbe on Mary & the Holy Spirit

منذ 11 years

St John Paul the Great called St Maximilian Kolbe ‘the apostle of a new Marian era’. What did this saint teach about Our Lady, and about her intimate relationship with the Holy Spirit? Find out in this edition of A Minute with Mary. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-22.2-MaxKolbe-Mary-HolySpirit.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript St John Paul II declared St Maximilian Kolbe to be “the Apostle of a New Marian Era”. Maximilian was a groundbreaking theologian. His insights into the Immaculate Conception anticipated the Marian theology of the Second Vatican Council and further developed the Church’s understanding of Mary as “Mediatrix” of all the graces, and as “Advocate” for God’s people. St Maximilian Kolbe stressed the importance and the unity between the Immaculate Mary and the Holy Spirit. Kolbe took the Church’s dogma of the Immaculate Conception and described Mary as the ‘Created Immaculate Conception’ and the Holy Spirit as the ‘Uncreated Immaculate Conception’. Kolbe said: The Third Person of the Blessed Trinity never took flesh; still, our human word ‘spouse’ is far too weak to express the reality of the relationship between the Immaculata and the Holy Spirit. In other words, Kolbe is stressing that the expression ‘spouse’ is ultimately too weak to express the fullness of their intimacy of that most sublime union in which the Holy Spirit indwells in Mary Immaculate. What St Maximilian Kolbe is essentially saying is that although the Holy Spirit never became incarnate, if He did, it would look like Mary. Kolbe teaches that the Holy Spirit acts solely through the Immaculata; consequently, Mary is the Mediatrix of all the graces of the Holy Spirit.

Mary, Spouse of the Holy Spirit

What does it mean to call Mary ‘Spouse of the Holy Spirit? What are the implications for our spiritual lives? Paul Elarde explains in this edition of A Minute with Mary. https://cradio.org.au/assets/minute-with-mary/MWM-22.1-SpouseofHolySpirit.mp3 DOWNLOAD (Right click to save) (2 mins) Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes Get email notifications when a new episode is published Subscribe via RSS Transcript Sometimes we hear people say, ‘Oh I’m Charismatic’ or ‘not me, I’m Marian’. Well, those names can be helpful in explaining aspects of certain types of spiritualities, but it’s important to remember that there can never be any separation between Mary and the Holy Spirit. Any divisions between Mary and the Holy Spirit are manmade distortions of the truth. St Francis of Assisi was the first person to describe Mary as the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. Today it is a common expression that gives some idea as to the special and holy union that exists between Mary and the Holy Spirit. Imagine how sacred Mary’s womb must be for the Holy Spirit to unite with Her to create Jesus! That is a once off special occurrence in the history of the human race. The Holy Spirit releases and actuates the graces of God. Without the Holy Spirit, God’s gifts cannot be brought to fulfillment. Now just as a spouse goes where the other spouse is present, so too the Holy Spirit comes in His fullness where His spouse, Mary, is found, loved and embraced. But note that also the reverse applies. Where Mary is restricted, the Holy Spirit cannot come in His fullness. In other words, by restricting Mary, we are restricting the Holy Spirit to work fully within this God-created union. So irrespective of your favourite spirituality, it is important that we acknowledge in our mind and through our prayers, the unity of Holy Spirit and Mary.
