I Am Mary’s Son Because I Willed It!

Jesus

My brother, to understand My filial love for My Mother, you must understand, first of all, that I am the Son of Mary because I deliberately chose that condition. I did nothing by constraint, or by chance, or without a purpose.

When I decided to restore the glory of My Father and to save humanity, an infinite number of ways lay open before Me. To all others, however, I preferred the way of Mary. I freely and deliberately created Mary to be My Mother, for she would not have been brought into existence, had I not willed to confide this office to her: freely and deliberately I made her what she is, so that she might in turn make Me what I am.

In all truth I am her Child and I willed to be formed of My Mother’s substance like every other child. I wanted to be nursed by her; I wanted to be brought up and cared for by her; I wanted to be entirely subject to her. I am her Child much more truly than you are your mother’s child, for from her alone I willed to derive My whole humanity.

I am her Child entirely, God and Man, because the One to whom she gave birth forms a single, undivided Person.

2. Now, I want you to realize that in choosing to be her Child I was motivated by love: first of all, by love for My Heavenly Father, whom I could glorify more and whom men would understand and love more because of her; then, too, by love for My Mother, who was to give Me more joy than all angels and men together; and also, by love for men—in particular for you, My beloved brother.
