IN THE AUSUNSION OF THE VIRGIN MARY, My humble and brief contribution to this great solemnity.

 

And he said (Elías) to his servant: "Go up and look towards the sea." He went up, looked and said: "There is nothing." Elijah said, "Do it seven times." And the seventh time he said: "Here is a cloud, as small as the palm of a man's hand, rising from the sea." Then Elijah said to Ahab: "Go up, eat and drink, because I hear a great noise of rain."

This little cloud is a figure of Our Lady because that seventh time is like the seventh age of Our Lady, Santo Tomas de Villanueva translates: "Behold, a cloud rises from the sea like the footprint of a man" Of these two translations the most important It is "that small cloud" speaking of the humility of the Blessed Mother. Virgin, because elsewhere it is said that she was a great cloud that contained God in her lap; and this cloud was capable of the same sky. This cloud, I repeat, is a light cloud, a cloud without sin, formed by the vapor of water, that is, of passable flesh; but it was raised by the burning of the sun, that is, with the love of God that dwelt in the heights by contemplation. The Sacred Letters continue saying: "like the footprint of a man."In Christ Jesus the head is the divinity as the apostle says: "God is the head of Christ" ; and in the Songs: "His head, very fine gold." And her foot is the humanity that takes her from the Sma. Virgin therefore the Virgin is the imprint of this foot; because, just as the footprint resembles the foot, so the Virgin in her entire life is a true image and figure of the humanity of Christ.

    This Virgin came up from the sea and this is nothing other than the glory of the Holy Virgin. Virgin Mary, but did the Virgin achieve this triumph effortlessly? Certainly not: because here is how he rises from the sea of ​​tribulations, from the sea of ​​persecutions so well known to us, he met the waves of the world, its upheavals and its storms.

    Finally, Ahab is told: “Go eat and drink; because I hear the noise of a great rain coming. " The Virgin rises, the Virgin is elevated to the heights. Your Ahab or us, walk, eat and drink until you are satisfied; rejoice, rejoice because your land, that is to say our souls, will no longer be sterile; a cloud rises from the sea, a shower of graces will come; An extraordinary torrent of gifts will descend from the cloud, flooding the entire Church, fertilizing all souls.

    For her, as Saint Bernard says, God decided to give the world all he had to give it. And the psalm says: "Myrrh, aloes and cassia your dresses, of ivory tiers."The ladders and steps where the Virgin ascended are then made of ivory, let's look at what ivory they are made of: the first step is God's eternal predestination to be his mother; the second is to be represented by the patriarchs; the third, to be announced by the prophets; the fourth, greeted by the angel; the fifth, conceiving by the work of the Holy Spirit and becoming the mother of her creator; the sixth, her exaltation on this day to heaven above all creatures by being also crowned Queen of all created things and the seventh is enclosed in those words of His Holiness Pius XII taken from the acts of the Popes: ¨PRONUNCIAMUS, DECLARAMUS ET DEFINIMUS DIVINITUS REVELATUM DOGMA ESSE:

INMACULATAM DEIPARAM SEMPER VIRGINEM MARIAM EXPLETO TERRESTRIS VITAE CURSU, FUISE CORPORE ET ANIMAAD CELETEM GLORIAM ASSUMTA¨

In this way it rises, following the example of Elijah, like a gentle wind without violence or noise to the heavens, carried not by the chariot of fire like Elijah but by the retinue of the blessed angels destined for this noble mission. While Elisha cried out, dismayed and sad: "My father, charioteer of Israel and his horses", we represented by the apostles shouted Mother of my ark of the true covenant and living tabernacle of the most high, have compassion on us miserable mortals and intercede for us now that you will be at the right hand of your beloved Son. Teachers also approached her like the contrite Saint Peter, who saw this other opportunity, to tell her with heartfelt pain: "Mother, tell your Son to forgive me" and the Mother, convinced of what she was answering, told her: "Pedro my Son I already forgive you ”,but the stubborn Saint Peter insisted: "I know Mother, but if you ask him he will take away this pain from me." Whereby we learn that Saint Peter never felt annoying our Mother who, with great meekness which is appropriate to a supplicating omnipotence, with utmost condescension, agreed, doubled by the apostle's insistence, on Saint Peter's request. This will also happen to us if we follow the example of the Apostle, without a doubt that she will intercede for us before her beloved Son for any need before her Son who can and wants to do everything in those whom He loves with a special love because they have known how to conserve their mandates, faith and doctrine so under attack in our times. We could well already hear his words using those of his Daughter Saint Teresa of Jesus: My son “Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you.Everything changes My Son does not change ”, have firm trust in Him and you will not suffer disappointment and all your needs will be attended to, according to His divine will, better than you expected. Then the words that were fully fulfilled in Blessed Saint Peter will be fulfilled in us. My most fervent wish as the most unworthy minister of the most unworthy devotee of this Mother of BEAUTIFUL LOVE is that they be fulfilled, by means of which our dearest prayers are assumed to heaven, not only for our urgent needs as those of the whole world and above all for the conversion of Russia through consecration to her Immaculate Heart through our individual and collective petition of all Catholics faithful to her divine Son.according to his divine will, all your needs better than you expected.
