Holy Name of Mary

                                  The Holy Name of Mary                                       12 Sep

There is no name after that of her son by which men are to find eternal life This holy name is unknown to the world the power and the efficacy of this word saint ephraim tells us that the name of mary is the key to the gates of heaven no one finds her without finding the son there's no such thing as a devotion to mary without a devotion to jesus christ to find her is to find jesus but to find him in the greatestpossible measure to find him fully and completely and her role in our life as the mother of every christian is to reveal her son to us and so that's why the first instinct of every human person this biological instinct is to reach for their mother a child reaches for his mother that's the first thing he does that biological truth is a reflection of this spiritual reality which is god wants us to reach for her because she is going to be the one who teaches us everything about him she's going to be the one who shows us who he actually is who teaches us about his mercy and about his love because she has experienced it in the greatest measure of any creature of all creatures together and it's her job to reveal that to us and one of the simplest and easiest ways to do that is simply to call upon her name to hear her name it doesn't matter how hardened a sinner may be just by hearing her holy name their heart is immediately softened just at hearing her name the power of hell trembles in fear at hearing her name all of heaven descends to come to your aid and it makes sense because she's the queen of heaven she's the queen of earth just by calling upon her name she comes but like the wedding feast at cana she anticipates us in our needs she goes before us before we even realize that we have a need like a mother she comes and she nourishes us in the sacred canticles the holy spirit describes the name of mary as a sweet ointment she covers us she protects us she heals us but also she admits this great fragrance that is she draws us to her son and finally she kindles like any oil does it enkindles fire it makes fire burn more brightly and this is what she does with the love of god in our hearts she makes the love of god come alive in us she sets us on fire and this fire is nourished and kindled and grown all the more resplendent.

Just by calling upon her holy name thomas kempus says seek jesus with mary and by doing this you will always advance in the ways of god for mary will most willingly pray for you and the son will most certainly grant all that the mother asks saint peter cosolagus says that the name of mary is an indication of chastity and saint alfonza says that this means that when we doubt as to whether we have consented to thoughts against purity if we remember having invoked the name of mary we have a certain proof that we have not sinned in all circumstances call upon the name of mary no matter how intense a temptation is no matter how painful a moment in our life becomes no matter how pitch black the darkness may be call upon the name of mary and she will bring sweetness she will bring life she will bring light because she will bring her son you cannot say the name of mary without saying the name of jesus and you also cannot say the name of jesus without saying the name of mary but what happens when we say the name of mary is she immediately turns around and she says her son's holy name directly to him when you say the name of mary it's like saying the name of jesus twice thomas kempus says that the names of jesus and mary are as powerful as they are easy to remember if you want to grow in the path of virtue if you want to leave sin if you want to put all of hell behind you and if you want to make all of hell tremble then,

I tell you do this call upon her name with confidence keep her as a constant companion in your life if there's someone that you love who is strayed from the path of virtue and doesn't have the love of god burning in their hearts call upon her name with them in their presence she is the only one who can melt stone and get them to say the name of mary even if they don't understand why they're doing it or if at first they do it with little fervor and attention get them to say her name because she will soften their heart the devil loses his grip on that soul saint germain says that you can know if a body is alive because it's breathing and he says you can also know that a soul is alive if he calls upon the name of mary and if at that moment he doesn't yet have the life of god in him because he calls upon her name life will soon return and this is the power of the rosary it gets us to and it allows us to call upon the holy names of jesus and mary over and over and over again so pray the holy rosary every day never let a day go by do not put your head on your pillow at night without having first prayed her holy rosary the life of christ began with mary and ended with mary and as the model of every christian our lord is trying to show us  so to your day your life should begin with the name of mary and it should end with the name of mary it should be filled with the name of mary just as his life was 

Ave Maria!

Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary

 

Happy Feast of Nativity of Blessed Virgin Mary

கத்தோலிக்க திருச்சபை இன்று ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்பட்ட கன்னி மரியாவின் பிறப்பை, பாரம்பரியமாக நிர்ணயிக்கப்பட்ட செப்டம்பர் 8 அன்று, புனிதர்கள் ஜோச்சிம் மற்றும் அன்னே ஆகியோரின் குழந்தையாக டிசம்பர் 8 ஆம் தேதி தனது மாசற்ற கருத்தாக்கத்தை கொண்டாடிய ஒன்பது மாதங்களுக்குப் பிறகு கொண்டாடப்படுகிறது.

இந்த நிகழ்வு நம் அன்புக்குரியவர்களின் பிறந்த நாளைக் கொண்டாடும் கலாச்சாரத்துடன் ஒத்திருக்கிறது. எங்களைப் பொறுத்தவரை, இந்த கொண்டாட்டம் நம்பிக்கையைத் தூண்டுகிறது. ஒவ்வொரு மனித பிறப்பும் உலகில் புதிய நம்பிக்கையின் அழைப்பு, இரண்டு மனிதர்களின் அன்பு கடவுளுடன் அவரது படைப்புப் பணிகளில் இணைவதை நாம் காணலாம்.

மரியாவில் இது ஒரு அற்புதமான வழியில் உண்மை. மேரி புதிய ஏவாள். இங்கே, இன்றைய நற்செய்தி வாசிப்பில் தேவதூதரின் வார்த்தைகளில் புதிய குழந்தை: ‘அவர்தான் தம் மக்களை தங்கள் பாவங்களிலிருந்து காப்பாற்றுவார்’. வேறு வார்த்தைகளில் கூறுவதானால், அவர் கடவுளின் அன்பு மற்றும் உலகிற்கு சமாதானத்தின் ஒரு சேனலாக இருக்கப் போகிறார். கடவுளின் அன்பின் சரியான வெளிப்பாடு இயேசு என்றால், அந்த அன்பின் முன்னறிவிப்பு மரியாள். இரட்சிப்பின் முழுமையை இயேசு கொண்டு வந்திருந்தால், மரியா அதன் விடியல்.

பிறந்தநாள் கொண்டாட்டங்கள் கொண்டாட்டத்திற்கும் குடும்பத்தினருக்கும் நண்பர்களுக்கும் மகிழ்ச்சியைத் தருகின்றன. இயேசுவின் பிறப்புக்கு அடுத்ததாக, மேரியின் பிறப்பு உலகிற்கு மிகப்பெரிய மகிழ்ச்சியை அளிக்கிறது. ஒவ்வொரு முறையும் நாம் அவளுடைய பிறப்பைக் கொண்டாடும்போது, ​​நம் இதயத்திலும் உலகிலும் சமாதானம் அதிகரிக்கும் என்று நம்பிக்கையுடன் நம்பலாம்.

மேலும், அவரது பிறந்த நாள் ஒரு சிறந்த எதிர்காலத்திற்கான எங்கள் அபிலாஷைகளின் கொண்டாட்டமாகும், இது கடவுளின் வாக்குறுதிகள் மீது எங்கள் முழு நம்பிக்கையையும் நம்பிக்கையையும் வைக்கிறது. பிறந்தநாள் கொண்டாட்டம் என்பது இந்த நபர் நம் வாழ்வின் ஒரு அங்கம் என்பதில் நாம் மகிழ்ச்சியடைவதற்கான அனைத்து காரணங்களையும் இடைநிறுத்தி பிரதிபலிக்கக்கூடிய ஒரு காலமாகும். நம் வாழ்வில் அவர்கள் இருப்பது எப்படி நமக்கு ஒரு பரிசு என்பதை நாங்கள் பிரதிபலிக்கிறோம். எங்கள் லேடியின் விஷயத்தில் இது வேறு யாருக்கும் இல்லை. திருச்சபையைச் சுற்றிலும் இன்று கிறிஸ்தவர்கள் மரியாளின் பரிசுக்காக கடவுளுக்கு நன்றி செலுத்துவதற்காகவும், நம் வாழ்க்கையிலும் திருச்சபையிலும் அவர் எவ்வாறு இருக்கிறார்கள் என்பதைப் பற்றி சிந்திக்கவும் ஒன்றுகூடி வருகின்றனர்.

புனித அகஸ்டின், ஆசீர்வதிக்கப்பட்ட கன்னி மரியாவின் பிறப்பு அண்ட மற்றும் வரலாற்று முக்கியத்துவம் வாய்ந்த ஒரு நிகழ்வு என்றும், இயேசு கிறிஸ்துவின் பிறப்புக்கு பொருத்தமான முன்னோடி என்றும் விவரித்தார். "அவள் வயலின் மலர், அவரிடமிருந்து பள்ளத்தாக்கின் விலைமதிப்பற்ற லில்லி பூத்தது," என்று அவர் கூறினார்.

செயின்ட் ஜான்ஸ் நற்செய்தியில் மேரியின் வாழ்க்கையில் நடந்த இரண்டு சம்பவங்களைப் பார்ப்போம்: ஒருமுறை கானாவில் நடந்த திருமணத்திலும், இன்னொன்று, சிலுவையின் அடிவாரத்திலும். கானாவின் திருமணத்தில் அவள் சொன்ன சில வார்த்தைகள்: காரியதரிசிகளிடமும், இன்றும் நம்மிடம், அவள் கிறிஸ்துவை சுட்டிக்காட்டி, ‘அவர் உங்களுக்குச் சொல்லும் அனைத்தையும் செய்யுங்கள். மரியாவின் இந்த அற்புதமான பரிசை நம் வாழ்வில் கொண்டாடுகையில், இன்று நாம் எடுத்துச் செல்ல வேண்டிய செய்தி இது. இரண்டாவது சம்பவம் ஜானின் நற்செய்தியில் உள்ளது, அங்கு மேரி அன்பான சீடரான ஜானுக்கு அடுத்ததாக சிலுவையின் அடிவாரத்தில் மண்டியிடுகிறார். சிலுவையின் அடிவாரத்தில் தாயும் சீடரும் சேர்ந்து திருச்சபையை அடையாளப்படுத்துகிறார்கள். மேரியின் இந்த பிரதிநிதித்துவம் அவர் திருச்சபையின் வாழ்க்கையின் ஒரு முக்கிய அங்கம் என்பதை நமக்கு நினைவூட்டுகிறது ... அவர் நம் ஒவ்வொருவருக்கும் அக்கறை காட்டுகிறார்.

மேரியிடமிருந்து நாம் கற்றுக் கொள்ளும் மிக முக்கியமான பாடம் அவளுடைய மொத்த ஆம். அவளுக்கு நாம் அளித்த மிகச் சிறந்த பரிசு என்னவென்றால், கடவுளின் கட்டளைகளுக்கு ஆம் என்று சொல்வதன் மூலம் ஆம் என்று சொல்வது ... கடவுளுக்கு “ஆம்”, (முதல் மூன்று கட்டளைகள்), நம்மை நேசிக்கும், நம்மை வழிநடத்தும், நம்மைச் சுமந்து, இன்னும் நம்மை அனுமதிக்கும் கடவுளுக்கு எங்கள் சுதந்திரம்; இது குடும்பத்திற்கு ஒரு “ஆம்” (நான்காவது கட்டளை), வாழ்க்கைக்கு “ஆம்” (ஐந்தாவது கட்டளை), பொறுப்பான அன்பிற்கு “ஆம்” (ஆறாவது கட்டளை), ஒற்றுமை, சமூக பொறுப்பு மற்றும் நீதிக்கு “ஆம்” (ஏழாவது) கட்டளை), சத்தியத்திற்கு “ஆம்” (எட்டாவது கட்டளை) மற்றும் மற்றவர்களை மதிக்க “ஆம்” மற்றும் அவர்களுடையது (ஒன்பதாவது மற்றும் பத்தாவது கட்டளைகள்).

மேரியின் சக்திவாய்ந்த பரிந்துரையுடன், இந்த பன்மடங்கு "ஆம்" என்று வாழ்வோம், இன்று நம்முடைய இந்த உலகில் ஒரு அடையாளமாக இருக்கட்டும். பிறந்தநாள் வாழ்த்துக்கள் தாய் மேரி! எங்களுக்காக ஜெபியுங்கள்!

God bless you all

Mary Mother of Jesus

   Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

"All Generation shall call me blessed"

Virgin Mary has held a place of honor for Catholics.

Mother Mary plays an important role in the mystery of Christ and the spirit has been treated, it is fitting now to consider her place in the mystery of the church."The Virgin Mary is acknowledged and honored as being truly the mother of God and of the redeemer. She is clearly the mother of the members of christ since she has by her charity joined in bringing about the birth of believers in the church, who are members of its head.

Their number of doctrines teaching about Mother Mary but the main four dogmas of Mary to the catholic church is

1.Mother of God

2.Immaculate Conception

3.Perpetual virginity

4.Assumption 

are the pillar teaching of Mother Mary. Mary is the example perfect in faith and prayer. Mother Mary play a major role in the salvation of the world through Jesus which happened through Mary.

No Mary No Jesus for our salvation If No Mary then there is no salvation through Jesus, If No Jesus we cannot see the Love and mercy of God, Jesus the visible form of the Invisible God. God has chosen a humble woman of Nazareth named Mary. When the angel came and appeared to mary and proclaim the message Mary replied "How will this be, since I am a virgin?", because till now the birth of a child is born through man and woman so mary raises the question, angel in reply said "The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the most high will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God." The one who is to born for salvation should be free from sin, free from lust.

Mary was a very bold young girl. Mary lived in the period in which if the woman was conceived without a husband the women should be stone to Death. And the only mary was with Jesus till the end of life. Right from birth to his death. So Mary is the full source to know about Jesus's life.

Mary's role in the Church is inseparable from her union with Christ and flows directly from it. "This union of the mother with the son in the work of Salvation is made manifest from the time of Christ's virginal conception up to his death".

At her Annunciation and giving her consent to the Incarnation, Mary was already collaborating with the whole work her Son was to accomplish. She is a mother wherever he is a Savior and head of the Mystical Body. The Most Blessed Virgin Mary, when the course of her earthly life was completed, was taken up body and soul into the glory of her Son's Resurrection, anticipating the resurrection of all members of his Body.

After the birth of Jesus according to the law of Moses they took him up to Jerusalem to present the Lord, where Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his Mother "And thy own soul a sword shall pierce" which Mary kept within her heart in surrendering her to the Will of God

Jesus lived for 33 years and only a few things we know about Jesus, Mary the full source about the life of Jesus. It is Mary who at the wedding in Cana of Galilee asked Jesus to do the need, Jesus said "My hour has not yet come." Yet Mary Knew who Jesus his what he can do even the disciple didn't know what Jesus can Do.

Jesus teaches everything as an example for people to understand, while he was teaching in the crowd mary and his brothers were waiting outside wanting to speak to him, Jesus said: “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers for whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother", Indirectly said about her Mother who has fully surrendered herself in doing the will of God right from her conception As Jesus knew the will of God, Mary to knew what is the will of God.

The Immaculate Virgin, preserved free from a stain of original sin, when the course of the earthly life was finished, was taken into heavenly glory, and exalted by Lord as Queen over all things fully conformed to her son the lord of lords and conqueror of sin and death. The Assumption of the blessed virgin is a singular participation in her Son's Resurrection and an anticipation of the resurrection of the other Christian.

"We believe that the Holy Mother of God, the new Eve, Mother of the Church, continues in heaven to exercise her maternal role of the Member of Christ"

As Jesus is the personal experience, Mary too is a personal experience has God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. So too Mary gave his only Son for the world for the forgiveness of our sin. If we think in practical NO Mother can see her son be to beaten, punished, and crucified to death, yet She says leave my child and punish me. Even to the death of his son, Mary remained with Jesus teaching what is the love of mother and child. NO one can love Jesus beyond Mary

Mary can be honored by repenting from sins for which mary gave her only son for our sins for which God sent his one and only son for our sin

The Assumption of Mary

 "Behold from now on will all ages call me blessed the mighty one has done great things for me and holy"

Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus greet you all in the holy name of Jesus peace be with you today our mother church celebrates the feast of
Our Lady of Assumption this feast is celebrated as yearly in the late 4th century in the early 8th century it was also well established the assumption of mary was celebrated in the west under pope sergius the first in the 8th century and pope leo the fourth confirmed the feast as official of the church since the holy bible does not to say what happened to mother mary and the apostles after the pentecost some records we could get from saint luke in the acts of the apostles and some more information from the letters of saint paul and others the bible does not give complete acts of the church therefore we need to depend upon the tradition to know about the life of apostles and other incidents the feast of the assumption and it is also called darmishin according to this weave we have churches which is dedicated to bonamarte our lady of good death this shows that some claim that mother mary died and taken into heaven some say that she did not die but taken into heaven while she was alive theologian's debate about the assumption continued following the reformation but the people celebrated the assumption as part of the cult of mary that flourished from the middle ages.

In 1950 pope Pius XII defined it as a dogma for the Catholic Church the Universal Church believes and teaches that she has assumed into heaven john of Damascus could set out what had become the standard eastern tradition that mary died in the presence of the apostles but that her tomb, when opened upon the request of Saint Thomas, was found empty there from the apostles concluded that the body was taken up to heaven in some verses of the story the event is said to have taken place in Ephesus in the house of the virgin mary this is much more a recent and localized tradition the earliest edition says that mary's of life centered in Jerusalem and the tomb of mother mary is said to be in the Gethsemane by the seventh century the variation of stories and tradition emerged according to which more dominating one is the apostles often identified as saint Thomas was not present at the death of mary
Later arrival pre-city precipitates the re-opening of mary's tomb which is found to be empty except for her except her grave clothes in later tradition mary drops her cradle down to the apostles from heaven as testament to the event this incident is debated in many related paintings of assumption chapter 12 of the book of Revelation which speaks of women clothed with the son who escapes the dragon by fleeing into the wilderness to be nourished for a time and times and half a time might possibly be a reference to mother mary's immortality but the early church identified the woman with the church we also read in the book of revelation chapter 12 verse 1 a great sign appeared in the sky a woman clothed with the sun with the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars though it indicates the church the mystical body of christ since mother mary is the bearer of the physical body of christ she could also be interpreted when we say that women appeared in the sky further the scripture says revelation 12:17.
Then the dragon became angry with the women and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring those who keep god's commandments and bear witness to Jesus it is explicitly known the struggle we the children of God enter go while we are living for the faith since paul says

1 Corinthians 15:20-22 but now Christ has been raised from the dead the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep for since death came through a human being the resurrection of the dead came also through a human being but just as a just as in adam all die so true in christ all shall be brought to life mother Mary the mother of Jesus our Lord is alive with Jesus because she died with him Colossians 2:12 says you were buried with him in baptism in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead we are not very sure whether mother mary baptized or not but we can be sure that she would be with our Lord in heaven the feast of assumption reminds us that we also will be with the lord after the physical death.

If we live a holy life as a child of God while on earth which is very short while comparing with the eternal life as in paul says Romans 8:18-19 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are as nothing compared with the glory to be revealed for us for creation abides with eager expectation the revelation of the children of God let ask our Lord to give us his grace to see our mother mary and Jesus in heaven
God bless you and your family and the intercession of Mother Mary be with you.
