MARY, OUR MOTHER

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER MARY! O HAPPY DAY ! It is Friday, September 8th, 2006 And It is PRAISE Time !!! Blessed forever be God who is over all! Isaiah 11:1-2 A shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse, And from his roots a bud shall blossom. The spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him: A spirit of counsel and of strength, A spirit of knowledge and of fear of the Lord, And his delight shall be the fear of the Lord. The Virgin Mary came forth from the root of Jesse, And the Spirit of the Most High came to dwell In her heart. Today we commemorate the birth of The Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. We celebrate her birth, that she might Intercede for us before the Lord. Romans 9: 4-5 To the Israelites belonged the adoption, the glory, The covenants, the law-giving, the worship, and The promises; theirs were the patriarchs, and from Them came the MESSIAH (I speak of his human origin). Blessed forever be God who is over all! Amen How fitting in PRAISING GOD is it also To honor the Mother who bore Him ! JESUS cannot long be apart from His Mother That we cannot honor her place in His Life. We accept the Father's Plan who from the Beginning of time had chosen Mary, holy and undefiled, Who knew not man, To house the seed planted Through the Power of The Holy Spirit, JESUS, Son of God. Imagine for a moment, The Angel Gabriel Asking you to become The Mother of God. How would you react? Would you think you were hallucinating? Would you tremble in fear and run? Would you.............say, "Yes?" Mary, even though young and frightened, Said, "Be it done unto me, according to thy word." Could we have said that? MAY JESUS CHRIST be PRAISED !!! May we always say: Be it done unto me, according to Thy Word ! THE WORD of GOD Is JESUS CHRIST !!! PRAISE BE JESUS NOW AND FOREVER !!! PRAISE BE JESUS NOW AND FOREVER !!! PRAISE BE JESUS NOW AND FOREVER !!! [Forwarded from INPOGod@aol.com] God saves me, Jesus enlightens me, the Holy Spirit is my life, thus I fear nothing. Deacon John www.deaconjohn.org
