May Jesus Christ be praised and may his holy Mother pray for
us.
In the second chapter of the book of Genesis, the Lord God
created the Garden of Eden. It was
pristine, perfect, and immaculate. The
Lord God carefully prepared the Garden.
The Lord God lovingly cared for the Garden. The Garden was pristine, pure, perfect and immaculate. Only when the Garden was completely and
perfectly prepared did the Lord God create man.
The first man, Adam, was created only after the Garden was
prepared. The Garden was pristine, pure,
perfect and immaculate.
Mary is the Garden that was prepared to receive the Lord
Jesus. She is pristine, perfect, pure, and
immaculate. From the very first moment
of her life in the womb of St. Anne, Mary is pristine, pure, perfect and
immaculate. She is perfectly prepared to
be the Mother of Jesus Christ.
We want our souls to be like Mary. We want to be prepared to receive the Lord
Jesus. May the Immaculate Mother of God
pray for us so that we will be prepared to receive her Son. Amen.
