The sky is the only omnipresence we all accept. So look up!

Praying for the Holy Spirit with Mary

Filed under: Mary — kathryntherese at 10:30 pm on Wednesday, May 23, 2007

In these days between Ascension and Pentecost, we gather near Mary like the Apostles, and find comfort in her presence when Christ seems absent.

We ask her to pray with us for the coming of the Holy Spirit upon each of us. Surely, the Spirit will respond generously to her intercession!

We ask her to teach us how to allow the Spirit to pray within us, to teach us how to calmly bring every power of our souls under the guidance of the Holy Spirit’s light and love, so that our own prayer may be a proper offering before the Throne of Love and Mercy.

Let us wait with Mary, so that our waiting will not be vacant.

Amen. And here is when Mary’s Queenhood-to-be is shaping up — at least to my mind. Like her daughter-to-come, Elisabeth of Hungary, Mary is truly with her people — rich and poor, saints and vassals — serving the King of Kings.

Yes, precisely. She is WITH us.
And we can place ourselves near her.
It is a calming thought.

“find comfort in her presence when Christ seems absent”

Whew to that, too! I will save this thought to hold on each Good Friday, a day which shakes us down to our first split cell from 12:01 a.m. onward..

But it’ll come in handy in all the middlings as well.
