How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news

I invite Mama Mary and Jesus to my day, my life, my cares, and my mission.
We invite the hearts of the Holy Family of whom there is perpetual harmony.

Hello all! I am going to talk to you about this verse on this First Saturday.

Genesis 3:15, “I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head, and thou shalt lie in wait for her heel.”

God is speaking to the serpent and then to the devil dwelling in the serpent.

The enmity is the separation from Satan with his demons and Mary, obedient mother of the living, and her children, the children of Faith.  This is the separation of life and death.  Deuteronomy 30:19-20  "I place before life or death, blessing or curse..."

(ex. Even though eternal life is victorious, the children of Mary are not without suffering for this victory.  Since the heel is the lowest part of the body, it is considered our lower faculties, our weaknesses.  The devil is always waiting for us to trip up.  He is the greatest opportunist.  That is why God wants us to focus on His Holy Face in times of temptation so we don't become weakened by our temptations and sin. (ex. Peter on the water) Matthew 14:28     FOCUS

28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.30But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? 32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

(If you do the Rosary frequently and correctly contemplating on the mysteries...then you are on the right track because you are looking at Jesus and His life.)

 As you practice all the virtues exemplified by Mary, those temptations become more and more distant.  It's like a dark stranger who gets repelled from you in the room.

Just stand by Mary, look at Jesus in your mind's eye, and know who you are- a sinner and knowing your desperate need for God all the time!  Wallowing your sinfulness never diminishes His Love for you.  If you think it ever did, from the whispers of Satan, you need to contemplate God's love more often.

​ You are on the right side of the line.  It's victorious but it is at a price.  The price of the most precious blood. If you suffer in union with Jesus, you share His Life in a way that purifies.   Jesus's pure blood, a lamb that was slain that had NO BLEMISH.  The most pristine, immaculate one of humankind..paid the price for us.  That lifeblood was pure because its constitution was that of pure unadulterated LOVE.  A love that can never originate by us... but we can take and eat, and it becomes one with us!    We commune and we decrease and he increases if we let him.  We have to submit to the Lord to permit Him to use our bodies, minds, and our hands so he may live in this world  through us.  We will be joyful participants as He delivers us from ourselves and possess us fully.   As we witness his power, joy, love, and peace there is no greater reward.

So the devil ensnares, lies waiting for a way that he can twist, lie, and accuse.  Look at   the media, do you see any parallels?  I do.

Prior to when Mama Mary appeared to me,  I had persecuted her.  She came in complete love, and no blame was found in her.  The love that exuded out of her won me over instantly...I didn't have a chance, love is too irresistible!!!! There was no blame or condemnation.

My empty, aching heart was satisfied- I needed and craved the Love of God, and  Mama Mary's presence fed me!  How did she know Love so well? Maybe it's because He was nestled in her womb for 9 months, the two hearts beat together in the harmonious beat of love and life.  Her blood had the nutrition to feed Him, and His Divine Blood mingled with hers. The Precious Blood was poured into Mary.  Who can be more in union with God than Mary?!    Her womb witnessed the first beat of the Sacred Heart- the tiny heart in human form!  Oh my Gosh, just thinking of this makes me cry!  

 We look at our suffering as what connects us closely to Jesus.  If you truly understood the power of suffering (united with His), you would never complain again.  Jesus the King of Sorrows suffered first.

Guide to STEPPING ON THE SERPENT head

1.  Hold Mama Mary's and Jesus's hand on your daily walk.

2. Go to  Mass and Frequent Confession.

It was in the Mass that I saw Heaven and Earth join together.  I didn't expect it but it goes to show that if your interior is cleansed and participate in God's life, he shows you his majesty, awesomeness, and completeness of the Church during Mass.  He even allows you to see Christ in you and how you are completely equipped to spread his love after Mass.

3.  Pray to mirror Mama's virtues:

*They are:

• Profound humility
• Lively faith
• Blind obedience
• Continual prayer
• Universal mortification
• Divine purity
• Ardent charity
• Heroic patience
• Angelic sweetness
• Divine wisdom

4.  Trust Jesus 

• Continual Divine Mercy Chaplets
• Do the staring game with the Divine Mercy Image
• See what Works of Mercy you can do for the day

5.  Write love letters to Jesus

• be as transparent as possible

I hope this helps, I just want us all to love him more and more and be united children.  That'll make our Father so happy!

Love,

​Karen
