I have been longing to buy a holy family pendant, when I went to the shop to buy, there's no other "Catholic Pendant" the only available is this, The Madonna, I was not really intending to buy it but bought it anyway, I have to be honest, was not that much happy with my purchase.
Though I’ve been Catholic my whole life, and encountered Christ, I was not having devotion to the Blessed Virgin, though I always attend masses during her Birthday and the Immaculate Conception, but not having that intimacy with Her.
I must admit that when all of this spiritual deepening had started I must point back to when I started committing myself to pray the Rosary again everyday, it all started to grow lavishly, its really the product of praying the Holy Rosary.
During prayer I perceived an image of Jesus carrying me, so I told my Sister her name is Aimee who is an artist to draw me one, it was very detailed, I took a screenshot of our conversation for you to see, but its on our native tongue, you will not understand, but its crystal clear, I want an image of Jesus carrying me and there's two angels on the sides she complained with the details lol. As that image was perceived in prayer, I asked the Holy Ghost to guide her.
This is her interpretation of it, she sent this to me on October 13th 2018, October 13 is the date of the Miracle Sun in Fatima.
Again, this is so NOT what I'm expecting it to be lol, I was like, what about the two angels and where's Jesus? At first I got confused, I thought it was a finger, again lol, it took me sometime to figure out the image, and when I finally able to recognize, I felt something, I cannot put it into words, but I felt something pierced my heart that it brought me to tears.
I have that pendant for about a year and only now I've gotten to see while taking that photo that its the Blessed Virgin carrying Jesus, all the while I thought its just Her, but its the Madonna with the infant Jesus, the very image my sister drew, I don't know about you, but I just don't believe in coincidence anymore.
When I compared the two, I am in awe, "And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord* should come to me?" (Luke 1:43). I was so humbled by how Our Lady have been long guiding and carrying me in her very bosom. Who am I? What great have I done for the Mother of my Lord should carry me, truth is NONE, my life is far from being good.
I must say that in this spiritual journey of mine, She has been my elevator to Jesus, when I was doing this alone, I was so overwhelmed that I know not what to do, but our Mother is very keen to the needs of Her daughters, She knew I needed Her, so even without me asking Her, she came to my aid and lifted me closer and closer to Her Son, and for that grateful and thankful is an understatement to God the Father for willing it all for me.
"Before, by yourself, you couldn't. Now, you've turned to our Lady, and with her, how easy!" -St. Josemaria Escriva
Who am I? That the Mother of my God will come to me? I, but a sinner, and though I transgressed and still does at this point in my life is pursued and sought. This welcoming from the divinity of The Holy Trinity and their love that puts me on my knees all the time and all the more I want to dive into them and drown my soul in the abyss of Their presence, seeing all the messiness in me and yet loves the wholeness of me, most especially the scraps in me.
"Never be afraid of loving Mary too much, you can never love her more than Jesus did" -St. Maximilian Kolbe
I am really sorry but I'll say it bluntly, if you call yourselves CHRISTIANS and do not love The Blessed Virgin, then you got Christianity wrongly, because Jesus and The Blessed Virgin are inseparable, Jesus, God, creator of all, allowed Himself to sprung from His creation, Our God humbled Himself that much, can you imagine how God delighted with our Mother? Never be afraid of loving the Blessed Virgin, I am testifying that She took me way too high to Her Son, I am almost weeping for the truth it holds in my life, it's true!
We as Christians should give our highest respect to The Blessed Virgin Mary, she bore our Lord, Jesus took refuge in Her, Jesus followed Her, respected, loves Her, that is or King Jesus who obeys the Blessed Virgin Mary. Can you comprehend this, Our Lord allowed Himself though Lord to call Her Mother, because I just cant, and that's the mystery of it, Jesus who is God Himself respected the Blessed Virgin Mary, then who am I then, who are we then not do the same?
I am so blessed that She allowed herself to adopt me, and I'm experiencing graces lavishly, and Her Magnificat is not just a prayer but a truth in my life now, every word reflects on my relationship with God, I too, am experiencing the mercies of God that I did not deserve and that always puts me to tears, the Father is so so good that He knows I don't deserve but out of His love gives it FREELY!
This is not just for me but for everyone, if its true with me that makes you of no difference. You are deeply loved, known and necessary. We all are sought and pursued but unfortunately we are so busy not to respond. The beauty of it all is though we almost always fail or late to respond our Father does not stop, Jesus mediates, The Holy Spirit is always generous with His gifts and the Blessed Virgin who ALWAYS intervenes for us.
If it brought you good fruit, please share as it may potentially (hopefully) bring good fruit to some. If not please kindly send me an email correcting my fault, please let us walk hand in hand in this narrow road ahead of us.
May Christ the King, my King, reign in everyone's hearts!
