+ These beautiful words come in the gospel passage on this Saturday
morning: “Those deemed worthy to attain to the
coming age and to the resurrection of the dead can no longer die.”
Even though people from every
nation “gloat over” the corpses of the dead prophets, death is not the final
power in the world.”
After three and a half days a
breath of life entered them.”
A “loud voice from heaven”
said to them, “Come up here.”
There is always reason to have
hope.
God deems and desires all to
be saved, to be seen through the final stages and battles and to a place of
newness of life and resurrection.
Through the intercession of
the Blessed Virgin Mary – Mother of the Savior and Mother of Grace – we will be
triumphant. But the price is utter and complete consecration to her as Mother,
Co-Redemptrix -and the distributer of all graces: including the graces of
martyrdom both red and white.
As we live in intensely
challenging times in our nation’s history – we obey Mary’s command to place
everything at her feet, to let her lead us by the hand to her Son Jesus, and
then his command to us to do whatever he tells us moment by moment through the
highways and byways of this one day!
Hail, Mary, full of grace.
Pray for us now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
