It was a powerful mass, the priest wore blue vestments, to honor our Queen, Our lady of Lourdes, he spoke in the language of Rome, not Italian but Latin, "we who celebrate the feast of the Apparition of the same holy Virgin, may obtain health both of soul and body",
I could see the infinite blessings of Mary flowing through the cross, over the head of the priest and out into the world....."in unitate Spiritus Sancti, Deus", when the priest said this, " in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God", I could feel the smiling face of Mary, AllOneGod.
---...the reading of the Epistle was from the last book of the Bible, Revelations, EPISTLE: Apocalypse 11: 10; 12: 1, 10 ...and spoke of Mary, Enthroned in heaven, The fifth mystery of the holy Rosary of the Virgin mother of God, our Lady of Lourdes, as she must of Appeared to St. Bernadette that night at the grotto at the cave at Lourdes, ": A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. And I heard a loud voice in heaven saying: Now is come salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our God and the power of His Christ."
The GRADUAL: Canticle of Canticles: 2. 12
Flores apparuerunt in terra nostra, tempus putationis advenit, vos turturis audita est in terra nostra. V. (Cant. 10, 14) Surge, amica mea, speciosa mea, et veni: columba mea in foraminibus petrae, in caverna maceriae.
The flowers have appeared in our land, the time of pruning is come, the voice of the turtle is heard in our land. V. (Cant. 10, 14) Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come; my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hollow places of the wall.
For truly she the beautiful one, with flowers, in the clefts and hollow places like the taste of an apple, with mint and the scent of sage brush after a rain, a hint of rosé.
Luke 1:37-38 was the gospel, and what good news, " And the angel said to her : Fear not, Mary, for thou has found grace with God. Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a Son : and thou shalt call His name Jesus."
Fear is illusion, There is nothing to fear because the power of god is everywhere, and the basic truth of God is Satchidananda existence knowledge and bliss( bless) so what is there to fear. Anger, bitterness, hatred, jealousy and fear these are the states of mind that hold us back and where there is God there is no fear because there is truth. And here in the Mass is truth, the truth of Christ's suffering, death and resurrection.
An Angel is a messenger and Angel is like an ow,l owl is the messenger of the animals... the owl lives in the night but it also lives in the day... it lives in that transition time between night and day... and the owl is the messenger of the Earth Mother...The angel is the messenger speaking to Mary telling Mary if there is nothing to fear that her soul, her reality is existence knowledge and blis. Sat Chid Ananda.
Now the angel of the Lord appeared to Mary and told her that she would conceive a son and his name would be Jesus. Mary was surprised that she would conceive because she had not known man. Now the lesson is we must all conceive, both men and women must conceive because the conception, the immaculate conception is the idea, and that idea is Jesus, that must be born in us we all are giving birth to the ideas of the divine consciousness. This is what I understood in the gospel of the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes.
blessings! always
