I. THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE INCARNATION OF JESUS BY THE ANGEL

Prophesied Isaiah 7:13-14

Listen, O house of David! Is it not enough for you to weary men, must you also weary my God!? Therefore the Lord himself will give you this sign: the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.

Prefigured Genesis 18:1,9,12

The LORD appeared to Abraham by the terebinth of Mamre. … “Where is your wife Sarah? … I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah will then have a son.” … So Sarah laughed. … The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh? … Is anything too marvelous for the LORD to do? At the appointed time, … I will return to you, and Sarah will have a son.”

John 1:1,14
1) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … And the Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.

Luke 1:26-27
2) The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.

Prefigured 1 Samuel 2:1-2,5,7-8 As Hannah worshipped the LORD, she said: “My heart exults in the LORD, my horn is exalted in my God. … I rejoice in my victory. There is no Holy One like the LORD. … The well-fed hire themselves out for bread, while the hungry batten on spoil. … The LORD makes poor and makes rich, he humbles, he also exalts. He raises the needy from the dust … to seat them with nobles.”


Luke 1:39-41

Luke 1:54-56
7) “He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, according to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.” Mary remained with her about 3 months.


Luke 1:57,59,63-4
When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her child, she gave birth to a son. … When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child, … Zechariah wrote: “John is his name.” Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed.


Luke 1:67-69
9) Zechariah his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesied, saying: “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people. He has raised up a horn for our salvation within the house of David his servant.”


Luke 1:76-77,79
10) “And you, child, will be called prophet of the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, to give his people knowledge of salvation through forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God.”

“You always leave the Rosary for later, and you end up not saying it at all because you are sleepy. If there is no other time, say it in the street without letting anybody notice it. It will, moreover, help you to have presence of God.” –

St. Josemaria Escriva

How often do you speak in tongues? Speaking in tongues is more powerful than praying rosary.

What are your reasons?

“The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary to such an extent that there is no problem, no matter how difficult it is, whether temporal or above all spiritual, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families…that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is no problem, I tell you, no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary.”

How will you teach me how to speak in tongues, when it is a gift?

A decade of the Rosary maybe 30 to 45minutes but who said you have to stop at just a decade?
You can go longer than 3 hours praying the Rosary.

The thread is about the Rosary, I won't be engaging you

I will teach you the right prayers for you to pray that will activate your tongues. When you speak in tongues, you speak mysteries and rosary doesn't make demons tremble when you pray, tongues do. There are realms of spirit you can't manifest fully in if you dont pray in tongues.

IV. THE PRESENTATION OF THE INFANT JESUS IN THE TEMPLE


Prophesied Malachi 3:1-3 Suddenly there will come to the temple the LORD whom you seek, and the messenger of the covenant whom you desire. Yes, he is coming, says the LORD of hosts. But who will endure the day of his coming? … He will purify the sons of Levi … that they may offer due sacrifice to the LORD.


Prefigured 1 Samuel 1:24-25,28 Once he was weaned, she brought him up with her … and presented him at the temple of the LORD in Shiloh. After the boy’s father had sacrificed the young bull, Hannah, his mother approached Eli and said, … “Now I, in turn, give him to the LORD; as long as he lives, he shall be dedicated to the LORD.”

Luke 2:22-24

Let not even one day pass without saying it, no matter how burdened you may be with many cares and labors.”

Stop Procrastinating, today is not yet over.

Pentacostal churches are slaves to Catholic doctrines unknowingly.
They protest their way out it because they find the idea of Mary being the mother of God unreasonable.
Yet, they believe 'Jesus is Almighty God'

Titles of Our Lady

"Holy Mary"

Jesus has shown us the path of true holiness. It is not by bodily cleansing but by purity of heart, Matt 5:8: " Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

By purity of heart and mind is here meant a single-minded attention and devotion. Matt 6:24; "No man can serve two masters."

Jesus showed us in his life his single-minded devotion to his Father's will (Jn4:34); " My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work."

Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy will be done." True holiness then is the acceptance and completion of God's will.

It was Mary who, from the inception of her life, lived with a single minded devotion to the will of God. She said "Be it done to me according to thy word." That was the summation of her whole life. Therefore the Church attributes this title of Holiness to our Lady.
Cardinal Mercier teaches us the "secret of Holiness" in the prayer: "O Holy Spirit, Soul of my soul, enlighten, guide, strengthen and console me. I promise to be submissive in everything that you permit to happen to me, only show me what your will is."

The invitation to Holiness is not for a few but for all- "You are a holy nation." You can have the halo of holiness too by saying 'yes' to God, as Our Lady did.



Let us pray
Holy Mary, help me to become like you
By accepting and conforming cheerfully
To God's will
In every aspect of my life.
Amen.


From Fr Clarence, May Flowers; Titles of Our Lady.

““The Rosary is the most excellent form of prayer and the most efficacious means of attaining eternal life. It is the remedy for all our evils, the root of all our blessings. There is no more excellent way of praying.”

Pope Leo XIII

Remember to pray today's Rosary.

HOW TO RECITE THE ROSARY


PURITY OF INTENTION

IT is not so much the length of a prayer, but the fervor with which it is said which pleases Almighty God and touches His Heart. One single Hail Mary that is said properly is worth more than one hundred and fifty that are badly said. Most Catholics say the Rosary, the whole fifteen mysteries or five of them anyway or, at least a few decades. So why is it then that so few of them give up their sins and go forward in the spiritual life? Surely it must be because they are not saying them as they should. It is a good thing to think over how we should pray if we really want to please God and become more holy.

To say the Holy Rosary to advantage one must be in a state of grace or at the very least be fully determined to give up mortal sin. This we know because all our theology teaches us that good works and prayers are only dead works if they are done in a state of mortal sin. Therefore they can neither be pleasing to God nor help us gain eternal life. This is why Ecclesiastes says: “Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner.”35 Praise of God and the salutation of the Angel and the very Prayer of Jesus Christ are not pleasing to God when they are said by unrepentant sinners.

Our Lord said: “This people honoreth Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me.”36 It is as though He was saying: “Those who join My Confraternity and say their Rosary every day (even perhaps the fifteen decades), but without being sorry for their sins offer Me lip service only and their hearts are far from Me.”

I have just said that to say the Rosary to advantage one must be in a state of grace “or at least be fully determined to give up mortal sin;” first of all, because, if it were true that God only heard the prayers of those in a state of grace it would follow that people in a state of mortal sin should not pray at all. This is an erroneous teaching which has been condemned by Holy Mother Church, because of course sinners need to pray far more than good people do. Were this horrible doctrine true it would then be useless and futile to tell a sinner to say all, or even part of his Rosary, because it would never help him.

Secondly, because if they join one of Our Lady’s confraternities and recite the Rosary or some other prayer, but without having the slightest intention of giving up sin, they join the ranks of her false devotees. These presumptuous and impenitent devotees, hiding under her mantle, wearing the scapular and with rosary in hand, cry out: “Blessed Virgin, good Mother—Hail, Mary! . . .” And yet at the same time, by their sins, they are crucifying Our Lord Jesus Christ and tearing His flesh anew. It is a great tragedy, but from the very ranks of Our Lady’s most holy Confraternities souls are faIling into the fires of Hell.

We earnestly beg everyone to say the Holy Rosary: the just that they may persevere and grow in God’s grace; the sinners that they may rise from their sins. But God forbid that we should ever encourage a sinner to think that Our Lady will protect him with Her mantle if he continues to love sin, for then it will only turn into a mantle of damnation which will hide his sins from the public eye. The Rosary, which is a cure for all our ills, would then be turned into deadly poison. “A corruption of what is best is worst.”

The learned Cardinal Hughes says: “One should really be as pure as an Angel to approach the Blessed Virgin and to say the Angelic Salutation.” One day Our Lady appeared to an immoral man who used to always say his Rosary every day. She showed him a bowl of beautiful fruit, but the bowl itself was covered with filth. The man was horrified to see this, and Our Lady said: “This is the way you are honoring me! You are giving me beautiful roses in a filthy bowl. Do you think I can accept presents of this kind?”

“The greatest method of praying is to pray the Rosary.” – Saint Francis de Sales
