…im mama keep all these things for her heart. Luke 2:51b
Today we dey honour our Blessed Mama. Especially, we dey honour her Obi wey no get any stain, just as we honour the Sacred Heart of Jesus yesterday. The two dey go together.
The Obi of our Blessed Mama na sign of her perfect love for us. E “no get any stain” because e pure and e perfect for love.
As we dey reflect on how love take perfect, we also dey acknowledge say her love na the perfect form of mama love. This love special, and e dey for the highest level. Mama love no be just love for neighbour or friendship. Instead, na love wey mama dey put her whole self inside, wey dey nurture, wey dey make sacrifice, and wey no dey hold anything back. Na this kind love our Blessed Mama get for us.
Today na good day to reflect on whether you don allow her to love you with this perfect mama love or not. You don consecrate yourself to her, as you choose her as your queen and mama?
The Obi of our Blessed Mama wey no get any stain, and therefore her love wey no get any stain, na glorious gift from God. Na she be the instrument wey Salvation Himself take enter our world. Therefore, na through her all the grace wey Christ dey give still dey enter the world. Na she be Mediatrix of Grace. Why she get this role? Na because God don plan am like that. God for save us through any way wey He choose, but we must acknowledge with humility and honesty say the way wey He choose to save us na through the mediation of our Blessed Mama.
God no dey change His mind today. He choose her as the instrument of salvation over 2,000 years ago, and He still dey choose her today. He still dey pour His grace on the world through her, and she still dey share His love and mercy through her Obi wey no get any stain and wey full of mama love.
Today, reflect on how the love wey dey shine from her life reach you take beautiful and perfect. Run go meet her and make an act of faith in her care as mama. Consecrate yourself to her and allow her to be the instrument wey God want make she be.
I hail you, Mary, you wey full of grace, di Lord dey with you. You get blessing among women, and Jesus, di fruit of your belle, get blessing too. Holy Mary, Mama of God, pray for us sinners now and for di hour of our death. Amen. Obi Mary wey no get sin, pray for us. Jesus, na You I trust.
