December 8, 2011 - Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception

"Mary Immaculate, Star of the Morning."

This first line of the song "Mary Immaculate" is one of my favorite statement or, should I say, ejaculation to Our Lady. It is true! Our Lady is the Star of the Morning!

Darkness comes to our life. My life was filled with darkness. As I contemplate on the goodness of God on my life, Mary is always there as the star of my morning. She is always there to light up my darkness. She holds Jesus up-high to be the light, the source of light of her star.

Everyday, I ask Our Lady, "Shine! Shine! Shine my morning star!" And she does! She always shine, because she is a Mother. Mother's knows best! 

To place Mary, Our Lady and Mother, as the star of our light, it takes great confidence to Our Lady and faith to God. Trust our Mother, she will never confound us! She won't! Trust me!

O my Morning Star, how beautiful you are!
You guard my night as a mother guard her child.
Star who awaits the Sun of the new day,
Lead me to Jesus my life, truth, and only way.
