Unknown fathom of Marian spirituality
Beggar description-travails,unexplained heaviness_ these may make our life in a great strangle as uncalled guests during different era of life.Likewise, there may be enjoyments that is unbelievable by others when you share it.The response of Holy mary towards this situations is a guide-light for us.Yes "Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart"-Luke 2:19. "His Mother treasured all these things in her heart"-Luke 2:51.Treasure all things in the heart is the marian approach towards the problems of life.'Treasure' means,share the subjects of life with Jesus who abide in you and teach the mind to accept the solution by God whatever it may be with the love of God as in the word,John 6:45 and reojoice in Holy spirit.It is the marian life approach."My spirit rejoices in God my saviour"-Luke 1:47.
In the verse Luke 1:29, we meets perplexed Holy Mary with the greetings of angel.She does n't know the meaning of greeting that's why She became troubled .Besides,there is no similar events to understand the saving act started from Mother of God!.
Will of God or Mind of God behind the incident is the meaning or truth.Word says when you know the truth you will be free of tensions -John 8:32.Find out the mind of the Lord behind the daily experiences is the right-way of relieve from tensions of life -"we have the mind of Christ"-1 Corinthians 2:16.Further word says God Himself will reveal the mind of Lord or truth behind all the daily experiences-1 Corinthians 2:10."He made known his ways to Moses,his acts to the people of Israel."-Psalm 103:7.What is happening,that is the act ,but for what it is happening is the way.When we read this-" He made known his ways to Moses", we have to realize this fact that;during the journey of Israelites in the desert _the goals,meanings and truths behind all the incidents-mind of Lord was revealed to Moses.Read Deuteronomy 8:3-5.Here,Word asked to treasure these things in your heart.
Starting from the perplexity,then assimilate the meaning and finally reaching in the song of praise is the intrinsically of spirituality of Mother of God.
