Une Minute avec Marie
Faire connaître et aimer Marie
"I, the living love, the one who speaks, take possession of the hearts of flesh; I do this by bringing into them the heart of my Father, in whom I am by the power of the Spirit, which springs forth at every moment of life. Thus, the three of us come to inhabit the soul that I espouse. It is the divine Trinity who takes possession of the soul and makes it his dwelling place. This irruption of the divine Trinity into the soul is the unfathomable mystery of Pentecost.”
This mystery takes place alongside Mary, in the presence of Mary, with Mary. The dwelling of the divine Trinity in her, Mary communicates it to the Apostles, and through them, afterwards, to all the souls who want to follow Christ.
Mary kept in her heart all that happened on the day of the Ascension. Instructed by the example of her Son, Mary understood the Father's will for her. "Thy will be done": the fiat of the Annunciation and the fiat of the Cross led Mary to the fiat of the Ascension. Jesus was now invisible to her eyes of flesh and she had to experience this mystery of separation; a detachment purer and more perfect than any she had experienced up to that point. Mary did not hesitate for a moment. She hurried off again, to gather the Apostles.
The troubling events could have scattered them once again. But Mary is the one who contemplates. She sees beyond appearances. She is the one who believes, who hopes, who loves. She is the one who gathers. Only she can tell the Apostles how to live in the living presence of Jesus, through the apparent separation of the Ascension. Only she can lead them to enter into contemplation. Only she could teach them to put into practice all that they had seen and heard.
