The Beauty of Mary: #BeautifulMary

Prayer to Mary Mary, you are beautiful. You are ever brilliant in "proclaiming the greatness of the Lord." Who could fathom the incomprehensible nature of God in the womb of your heart? Your Immaculate heart gave its "Yes" to the Father's will and the "overshadowing of the Holy Spirit!" (Lk. 1:26-38) You are filled with the light of God. I profess that Jesus Christ[1] is "God from God" and "Light from Light," (Nicene Creed) I also profess and make my confession of faith in your "let it be done to me as you say," which surrendered your virginal womb and Immaculate heart to the "Word" (Jn. 1:1) who was "made flesh" (Jn. 1:13) in your womb. You are the daughter of the eternal Father, the Mother of His Son, and the Spouse of the Holy Spirit. You are beautifully created to be the highest honor of the human race and the dwelling place of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Dear Mother, you are greatly to be loved because he who is within you is "greatly to be praised." (Ps. 145:3) The Beauty of the Word In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (Jn. 1:1) 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. (Jn. 1:14) The beauty of the Word was united with the beauty of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and Beauty Himself was "made flesh." In the beginning was unrevealed beauty and the Word was the Beauty of the Father. He revealed to us "he who sees me sees the Father;" the consubstantial Word of the Father was made flesh and we "saw his glory" (Jn.1:14), which was "full of grace and truth." But the incomprehensible glory of the Father cannot be seen, even in heaven it is concealed from the Saints in glory. However, Mary who was a perfect reflection of the grace given to the human race gave birth to the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ. [1] God could have chosen another way to manifest himself to the world, but he chose Mary to be his chosen temple.
