Happy Birthday Blessed Mother
There is a Sacred Birthday celebrated today, Sept. 8! The Holy Trinity's Masterpiece, the One who is loved by Jesus more than all angels and men; is honored in heaven and on earth with the Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is the Immaculate One whose "Yes" was honored forever by Jesus, from the moment He submitted to Her with complete trust, beginning with dwelling within Her sacred womb.
When God created His Mother, He did what you and I would have done if you or I were God. He made His Mother as pure as a lily and created Her free from sin in a way only He could do because He is God. HE SAVED MARY BY THE FORESEEN MERITS OF HIS OWN PASSION, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION BECAUSE HE CAN DO IT AND BECAUSE GOD IS OUTSIDE OF TIME.
So great a gift did Jesus give of Himself to Mary, that by His design, He desired that All Generations Shall Call Her Blessed, partly for such divine favors but also for cooperating with Christ in fulfilling His divine redemption which He offered to the Eternal Father. Mary had become the holy, dwelling place of the Almighty, like the Ark of the Covenant in the Old Testament. Recall that Uzzah was struck dead for touching the Ark (2 Sam. 6:6–8). As a side, it should not be surprising that Joseph understood that Mary was a vessel consecrated to God alone. Even the Protestant reformers rejected the idea that Joseph assumed normal marital relations with Mary after the birth of Christ. The Blessed Virgin was set apart for God. If the Old Testament ark of the Covenant was so holy that it was plated with gold and made of incorruptible wood because it contained the Word of God on the tablets of stone, how much holier would God have made His own Mother?
Especially during the month of September, when we honor the Sorrowful Mother, we do well to remember the supreme intimacy and profound love between Jesus and Mary and we consider what Mary was suffering with Jesus up to and through His Passion and death. Whatever was happening to the sacred body of Jesus physically, was happening to Mary's Immaculate Heart, spiritually. When any mother witnesses the sufferings of her child, these sufferings become her own. But the Blessed Mother suffered not only as a mother, but as the Mother of God. Before He breathed his last, Jesus gave us one final gift, He gave us His Mother! Mary is seen as the spiritual Mother of all disciples at the scene of the crucifixion. Christ honored Mary by entrusting to her care, all those redeemed by His blood. We can easily see the connection with Revelation 12, as the dragon, who represents the devil, goes off “to make war on the rest of her [Mary’s] offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus” (Rev. 12:17). The author is clearly referring to Mary, as the spiritual Mother of all Christians. Mary is our warrior queen in the heart of the battle for souls today, fighting for her children. Under the title of Ark of The New Covenant, Jesus gave power to this Queen because of love.
Remember, the title of Ark of The New Covenant is the Blessed Mother's function and this title takes us into a deeper insight into the warrior queen and her role to fulfill the prophecy of Genesis 3:15. It is from Jesus that the Blessed Mother derives the power to defeat Satan, and it is with Him that She exercises it! Like the Battle of Jericho, today we are taking Mary, The Ark of The New Covenant, into Battle.
Jesus desires for His Holy Mother to be known and loved by all. As a birthday gift to our Mother, Preborn Jesus Ministry presents our anticipated new medal of Mary, Ark of The New Covenant to our dear Mother to use for Her children. May this unique gold, untarnished, medal, representing Mary's purity and love of God, as our warrior queen, assist the Body of Christ to give due honor to the Blessed Virgin Mary. God could not create a greater mother than His own, nor a greater Ark to carry His children to Him, and so it was that this good Mother, conscious of Her dignity, boldly exclaimed the prophetic words we inscribed on the medal, "For Behold, All Generations Shall Call Me Blessed." (Luke 1:48)
Happy Birthday Blessed Mother!
