Pentecost Novena of Meditated Rosaries
Day EIGHT*
Special Intention: Conversion of mind and heart in preparation for the AO General Assembly 2009
As they strive for holiness, the Oblates shall look upon Our Lady of Trust as the Mother who sustains, and see Her as the example upon whom to model themselves.
Our Lady, A Model of Trust -- A Rosary with quotes by +G. G.
First Mystery: Annunciation Luke 1: 26-38
Mary is model of trust. She is a model for the trust she had in God: "Ecce - Behold; Fiat - be it done to me" are signs of her abandonment to the Lord and therefore her trust.
Second Mystery: Visitation Luke 1:45
"Blessed is she who trusted that the Lord's word to her would be fulfilled." Our Lady appears to us as someone on whom God has been able to depend, in whom he has placed his trust. Let us ask ourselves whether God can count on us. Can God trust us?
Third Mystery: Birth of Christ Luke 2:19
"Mary treasured all these things and reflected on them in her heart." We can think of the Holy Spirit, of the ceaseless interior motions he had within Mary. She fully adhered to the plan of the Father, and could only follow faithfully the single movements of the Spirit who trusted her and counted on her.
Fourth Mystery: The Wedding at
At the wedding at
Even though our Lady had reasons not to trust, Mary accepts with faith, with serenity and with trust. She had trust in the love of God, she was open to acceptance of the mystery, open in every moment, from the encounter with the angel, to the encounter with the Cross.
