St Peter Julian Eymard's words:

"Mary's Immaculate Conception was foretold in the terrestrial Paradise. The Most Holy Virgin is that blessed woman who was to crush with her heel the head of the infernal serpent. God in creating Mary immaculate, scores His great victory over the devil; He reestablishes His sovereignty over the earth, God reenters creation as Master. But behold Mary. God overshadows her. Mary is, by her purity, God's paradise with her, He will renew the world." abbrev.text
​
MEDITATION

In the forward, we are told St. Peter Julian Eymard can be repetitive in his notes, so we ask why?  What instruction is he trying to place in our heads that will lead to our hearts?

 Through the Immaculate Conception, Mary was able to carry the mercy of God's Love into the world. We are consecrating our life to God by the way of our Lady of the most Blessed Sacrament. It is extraordinary that our overall theme for this consecration is, "Enter into thy womb.” To become pure, we need to enter into the same womb that was left Immaculate so that we can be born of Mary. She will clothe us in the virtues of her Love. In Matthew, we read, "Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God" (Matthew 5:8). In the Eucharist, we receive God's love, and in turn, we give that love by the sacrifices, we make for our communities, families, and friends. The incarnate life of Jesus makes it possible to make every day a new beginning, to make every day a pure act of thanksgiving, to make every day a reciprocal act of love by our Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

If you cannot get to daily Mass, offer a spiritual Communion. In the reception of Holy Communion, we come with the faith that longs to be pure of heart.

"Mary, teach us the life of Adoration."

We come into a world in need of our baptismal life and promise of the Heavenly Father.

Continue to journal. Pray through the intercession of Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament. As you write, search deep in your soul for the things that may be keeping you from being pure of heart (old wounds, forgiveness that needs to be given and taken, etc.). Plan on making a good confession for the specific intention of your consecration vows. Consecration is a promise.
​

We promise to live in God's grace. Mary is the gift God has given us to bring us closer to Him.
Please pray the Ave Maris Stella to accompany the daily readings for Week I. You may choose to continue the daily recitation of the Veni Creator.


PRAYER

Please pray the Ave Maris Stella to accompany the daily readings for Week I. You may choose to continue the daily recitation of the Veni Creator.

Ave Maris Stella

Hail bright star of ocean,
God's own Mother blest,
Ever sinless Virgin,
Gate of heavenly rest.

Taking that sweet Ave,
Which from Gabriel came,
Peace confirm within us,
Changing Eva's name.

Break the captives' fetters,
Light on blindness pour,
All our ills expelling,
Every bliss implore.

Show thyself a Mother;
May the Word Divine,
Born for us thy Infant,
Hear our prayers through thine.

Virgin all excelling,
Mildest of the mild,
Freed from guilt, preserve us,
Pure and undefiled.

Keep our life all spotless,
Make our way secure,
Till we find in Jesus,
Joy forevermore.

Through the highest heaven
To the Almighty Three,
Father, Son and Spirit,
One same glory be. Amen.
