Why a Mediator with God?


Hosted by: http://bloggerspirit.blogspot.com

I seldom came to school without spending and offering my prayers to Mama Mary. Being borne Catholic and always away from my late mother because of her career, I had always find my refuge in HER grace.. I had graduated and studied in St. Joseph Parish School and I was really glad I did because this made me more closer to HER. My day would had never been complete without glorifying HER in my own special way..


Our Mama Mary

It is more perfect, because it is more humble, not to approach God for ourselves without taking a mediator. Our nature, as I have just shown, is so corrupted that if we rely on our own works, efforts and preparations in order to reach God and please Him, it is certain that our good works will be defiled or be of little weight before God in inducing Him to unite Himself to us and to hear us. It is not without reason that God has given us mediators with His Majesty. He has seen our unworthiness and our incapacity; He has had pity on us; and in order to give us access to His mercies, He has provided us with powerful intercessors with His Grandeur, so that to neglect these mediators, and to draw near to His Holiness directly, and without any recommendation, is to fail in humility. It is to fail in respect toward God, so high and so holy.

From True Devotion to Mary by St. Louis de Montfort (TAN Books & Publishers, 1985)


Believe me or not, Mama Mary has been the constant companion and guide to all the 2L3B's endeavors..

Not being raised Catholic, I never learned to use Mary as a mediator. I have always had the very highest respect for her however as the Bible says that all generations will call her blessed. Certainly she was most blessed among women to be chosen to be the mother of the Savior. The Bible says that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us and also that Jesus does. I believe that because of what Jesus did on the cross that his righteousness is transferred to us and we can go directly to the throne of God. That is if we have accepted Jesus and have become a child of God.
I'm glad you shared with us today.
Blessings,
Charlotte

I was not raised a Catholic either but I have the utmost respect for Mary, after all she was our Saviour's mother. Thank you for sharing.

Blessings,

This is so inspiring to read Loida. Mama Mary has always been my refuge and companion in all my trials and challenges, my happiness or success. I believe that my prayers and petitions to God are more powerful with the help of Mama Mary. Thank you for this post!

人家都說男人到大陸都會外遇包二奶
老婆淚眼說擔心他外遇
他了解老婆的擔心,只好用錢去彌補分離的缺憾
漸漸的,老婆的電話愈來愈少…
她說,她是怕自己太依賴
漸漸的,他知道其實是她有了外遇
於是,面對自己外遇的行為,他忽然覺得好過了些…

你想要離婚,卻不顧多年夫妻的情份。
我知道,是因為你有了外遇。
你寧願把錢滿足她所有慾望,卻不願意多給贍養費!
難道真的要抓姦你才會付出你所應該付出的?
其實我真的不願意去抓姦的,我不願意看到她占據屬於我的位置,
然而如果不抓姦,我就無法拿到我應得的權益!
或許是想要報復吧,或許真的心灰了,
或許我想要看看被抓姦的你們驚慌失措的面孔,
我鼓起了勇氣,打了徵信社的電話:我要抓姦

Anonymous said...

許多人的婚姻因為伴侶的外遇而殘缺不全,
於是許多人只能夠藉由抓姦來保障自己,
專業徵信人員針對不忠伴侶進行外遇蒐證,
並依照您的需求進行抓姦行動;
確定適當時機時,會與您一同報案,
尋求警方共同抓姦,我們合法對外遇對象進行抓姦
外遇抓姦問題,讓我們給您最專業服務!
