You will Never be Alone(in His Family)

Members of the Church, children – as well as brothers and sisters – of God, temples of the Holy Spirit...We, privileged so much to be parts of the Catholic family, may be described in many beautiful, communal ways.
Taking this into consideration, we all must admit that Catholics would never be alone and that Mary, along with all the other saints, is needed in our Church so that Jesus' Body, His relatives and worshipers, may grow and be adequately cared for.

Ad Jesum per Mariam

Some people undervalue the role of Mary, some other insult Her on the regular basis. Let's consider their positions and examine whether they are right or not. It is true that one can be saved without Her intercession. Moreover, God Himself did not necessarily need the Blessed Virgin in order to manifest His Holy Will to people. He could have excluded the simplest human being, Miriam, from His divine plan. Still it has been chosen otherwise and –  whatever we may think of this –  our religion would be a kind of oxymoron without Immaculata; it is so, for as you cannot have Christianity without Christ, you cannot imagine Christ without His Mother.

P.S. Blessed Paschal Triduum to you all!

Fiat is Enough

People do not want to hear about God for several reasons.
Some of them are indifferent, some, on the contrary, are active opponents of Christian's/monotheistic/ view of the world.
Regardless of their motivations, and - what is important as well - without some noisy attitude, there is always a chance to present God to almost each and every of them.
In order to accomplish the said goal, please do not talk so much about your faith: Instead, let the one tell something about you*.

* Mary's faith, condensed in Her single fiat, is among the finest examples of just-presented attitude.

Two Ways, One Love

Why we all have to suffer? This question, to which many people cannot give a satisfactory answer, seems to constitute some challenge to God's Love, Mercy and Justice. In fact, and this can be well proven, it is not the challenge to Creator's Goodness, but rather Its affirmation. People will always suffer because of their sins; that's the part of God's Justice - some theologians would tell you.  That is true but still incomplete answer to the presented issue. Do not forget about God's twofold Mercy, the One that can cleanse us either on earth or in purgatory; both ways lead sufferers to the infinite, divine Love.

P.S. Let's pray for our newly elected pope, Francis.

Hearts console hearts

Both the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus & the devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary may provide each and every involved man with enormous blessings.
Still, in addition to many promises associated with just-mentioned devotions, there is some special grace related to them that must not be overlooked by any human being; in my opinion the grace, namely a  possibility that we all may remove some thorns from the beloved Hearts, seems to be the main source of both devotions' popularity among the faithful and of their appreciation, paired with acts of generosity, expressed either by Our Lord or His Mother.

On Two Kinds of Dreams(Thank You)

While at shrine of Lourdes, many of us, disabled people, would like to be granted with the grace of good health. The physical well-being, what can easily be understood, is of the great importance for almost each & every human being. That is a common dream of many.
We know, however, that there is some other dimension to one's health, namely the spiritual one. Mary, the gentlest of all mothers, loves us so much that sometimes -- thinking about the greatest dream of both Jesus & His co-sufferers -- grants some of Her children with cure for their souls. Thank you, my dear Mother!
