*86. \u201cOne day I went to the old sea, which was called behind the Barceloneta, and found myself at its edge, and a great wave overtook me; after that one, another one. I found myself further into the sea, and I was surprised to see that I floated above the water not knowing how to swim; and after having invoked Blessed Mary, I found myself at the edge of the sea without having a drop of water in my mouth.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MARY\u2019S PROTECTION<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

Claret felt very protected by the Blessed Virgin Mary (as he nearly always says) during all of his life and in several dangerous situations. He speaks of this and enumerates the graces and favours obtained from Mary, in which he felt loved by the Virgin and in turn with what intensity he loved her since childhood.,
\nThere were many Marian devotions that Claret practiced, the Marian prayers which he wrote and the Marian groups which he founded; to all of these he advised them to love Mary. And together with this we see excellent intuitions of Claret regarding Mary. He contemplated her as \u201cDaughter of the Father, wife of the Spirit and Mother of the Son.\u201d He saw her as the Mother of the Apocalypse in a fight against all evil, and he placed this fight in the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Claret celebrated with delight the proclamation as dogma of the Immaculate Conception and he asked Pius IX to also proclaim that of the Assumption. (Pius XII would do so in 1950.) Mary was for Claret \u201cthe best imitator of Jesus \u2026\u201d
\nThat fruitful Marian and Cordimarian disposition of Claret orients and directs us to the place and the active presence which the figure of Mary and her heart must have in our Christian spirituality.
\nWe should \u201cliberate\u201d Mary in our church from the neglect of many Christians and also of the exaggerated deification of many others. To that end, each of us should review the place which Mary occupies in our Christian life, and ask ourselves: isn\u2019t \u201cthe Mary of the Gospel\u201d the best model for hearers and faithful servants of the Word of God, for all the disciples of Jesus?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
