Mystical Rose, Seat of Wisdom, Queen of virtues… These are some of the most beautiful titles dedicated to the Madonna in the Litanies of Loreto, those ancient Marian prayers from the 15th century. When we read these names carefully, they reveal their meaning to us. They are the qualities of the sacred feminine that Mary has passed down to us: the intuition of the heart, the wisdom that comes from deep self-listening, the virtue of being present to oneself without escape.
In these times when we often feel lost due to external confusion, we need to rediscover these qualities within ourselves. They help us regain those seemingly impossible balances: being gentle and decisive, welcoming and true to ourselves, loving while maintaining our autonomy.
It's not easy, we feel it in our daily lives, but it is possible. And perhaps this is precisely the invitation that Mary reminds us of today on the feast of the Assumption: we don't have to choose, we can be both.
We wish you to find, on this festive day, a moment of inner listening to rediscover that unbreakable bond between body and soul that allowed Mary to reach Heaven. 🙏
Happy Assumption Day,
An affectionate hug,
Bernard and Angie
