In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Amen May the Holy

Spirit, my beloved,

bestow upon me the Grace that has

not yet been given to me. Sitting in the

sanctuary, I pray that the Lord will

hear my words. Your

love will

fill my mind and soul with

I would like to welcome all of

you to the congregation. Looking at the clergy of the

Lord's house, perhaps some of you have been

here before and there are also many who are

coming for the first time, right?

We see that this is in the grounds of the

Saint Patrick's seminary and the training house,

that is, the Postulants. The novices and

seminarians of the

Apostolic Congregation of the Lord's House, Mien Hai Ngoai, have

just moved to this new facility for

about 3 months, so everything is still very

new, and this is also the

first retreat, held here, and

we thank God that

our first retreat is a

retreat about the Virgin Mary, and the Virgin Mary herself.

is the person who prayed to God for the congregation to

have this new facility. This new facility

was conceived on the day of

the Annunciation to the Virgin Mary. That day is also the feast

of the Virgin Mary. Therefore, the Virgin Mary is the

mother of God. When the second person became incarnate

as a human being, the Virgin Mary lent her

womb to God as the

tabernacle of the Son of God on this earth.

So the mother also takes care of the congregation of God's house, who are

also the children of God. The children of the Mother

have this facility. So, I would like to

welcome all of you, the elderly, the grandparents, the brothers and

sisters, to the congregation to have a

day of retreat. On this retreat,

we are in the process of

preparing for the so-called Consecration to

the Virgin Mary, is that right? Are all of

you in the program, is that

right? Yes, how many days has it been?

18, 18, 19 days? Yes, so besides

praying together, have you

learned about the Consecration to the Virgin Mary,

is that right? That's

very clear. right, but to

help us dig deeper so that the

work of Consecrating to our Mother

has more meaning. Today, let's review a little bit

together with all of you,

right? What do we say is

Consecrated to the Blessed Mother in English, we

consecrate to the Blessed Mother. So, when many

people hear it, is there anything strange? Consecrating to God and

consecrating to

the Blessed Mother? Is there something

a bit strange and perhaps even going astray? So,

what is Consecrating to the Blessed Mother? And

where does it come from? What is this movement like?

So, let's

review a little bit together. Now, let's

talk about the first thing, Consecration.

When we consecrate a person

or an object,

what do we do? We dedicate that

person or object to

the work of God. For example, when

an altar is consecrated,

that altar used for offering Mass

and only for the Holy Mass, cannot be used for anything else.

Even if there is a

new altar that is not used anymore, it cannot be used for

anything else. Only if a bomb explodes, it cannot be used anymore. Now

Now

we have a new, more beautiful altar,

so this altar has been

consecrated, so it can be brought inside to clean the

priest's clothes. It cannot be used for a

blessed wooden altar, which can be

used for things like a consecrated altar. A

consecrated church can only be used

for worshiping Mass, it

cannot be

used for other things later. For example,

we see that sometimes there are churches.

For example, in the West or

in America, these churches have been consecrated, but

later on, there are no more parishioners,

not enough priests, not enough finances

to pay, then sometimes

the church must be sold. That is, it must have the permission of the

bishop, and sometimes those The church must

have permission from the Holy See, there are

rituals so that we can transfer it to

another purpose, then it can be

consecrated, or a person is

consecrated. For example, we see that

those who go to the monastery, right?

Especially those who go to the monastery, so they can

go to the monastery, it is called the Consecrated life.

The priests of the Diocese

do not call the Consecrated life in English

called secular. The priests in the afternoon, right?

So they do not have that promise,

they have a promise. I still go to the monastery, they have a

promise, it is called the Consecrated life.

Those who are consecrated to

God. So their lives must be

completely dedicated to God to serve God and the

church does not do

other things, or later, that is, a

program that has existed for a long time,

but since the first centuries of the

church, but for a long time now, after the monasteries were

founded, the other has been

temporarily called, using the word,

that movement, its life, it disappeared, but after the

Second Vatican Council, it was

restarted again, as if it were better. 50 years ago what

is that Consecrated virgin life So

there are women who do not

enter any religious order but they want to

consecrate themselves completely to

God so they also have a

program and the diocesan bishop as

their direct superior so they consecrate

their lives called

Consecrated virgins in the major seminary here there

is also a sister who

lives the life of a Consecrated virgin and

also serves in the major seminary

here So we see that we are Consecrated to the Virgin Mary

So how do we consecrate ourselves

when we talk about Consecration to the Virgin

Mary is not that we are completely

for the Virgin Mary and stop at the Virgin Mary but according to

the words of Saint lu the monf is what through the

mother to reach God

through the mother to reach God so

we completely sanctify ourselves Saint Yen our life

life

to the Virgin Mary to change to the Virgin Mary Mary brings

us to God not to

stop at the Virgin Mary or say something else is what is

when we sanctify the saint Devoting

to the Virgin Mary means we want to

follow the model of the

Virgin Mary's Spirituality. How did the Virgin Mary live her

spiritual life to be

closely united with God? We want to

go through the spiritual path of the

Virgin Mary to reach God. And it

can be said that in the church, there is no

saint who became a saint

without loving the Virgin Mary, that is, in

one way or another, they all

follow the Spirituality of the Virgin Mary to reach

God. Because no one is more

closely united with God than the Virgin

Mary. We see that physically, there is no need to

say anything. Is there anyone in this world who

is called to carry God physically in

their body? No one has the grace

to be given God as blood, bone, and

flesh. No, no, right? Only the

Virgin Mary alone. Only the Virgin

Mary alone called to carry God for 9 months and 10 days. So, in

other words, physically, no one is

closer to God than the Virgin Mary. Even in

spiritual life, no one is more

united with God than

our first Virgin Mary. listen in

today's gospel when the Virgin Mary said

yes, when the Virgin Mary said

yes on the day of the Annunciation,

that was just the beginning of a

lifetime of Yes, so brothers and sisters,

on the day you were

consecrated to the Virgin Mary, it was not just a Consecration, we meditated and

prepared for 33

days, and then we finished and that was it.

Not like that, we

just started to live

that Consecrated life and had to consecrate to the Virgin

Mary every

day and sometimes especially on the

feast days that honor the Virgin Mary,

for example, this year, you will

consecrate to the Virgin Mary on the day of the

Immaculate Conception, then on the day of the

Immaculate Conception every year, you

should consecrate to the Virgin Mary again and live that

Consecration every day, not

just on that feast day,

going through the ritual and that's it, but every

every

day, just like the Virgin Mary, the Virgin Mary said

yes on the day of the Annunciation

and said yes, and that's it, and that's it.

is the beginning of a lifetime of

asking for Van

or in other words, what is the Virgin Mary

completely obeying the will of God the Father from

beginning to end, so no one is united

but no one obeys the will of

God more than the

Virgin Mary. The Virgin Mary never does what she wants.

For example, we see that even when the

Virgin Mary goes to a wedding party, right? The

Virgin Mary sees the newlyweds lying face down. When the wine is gone, the

Virgin Mary does not say, "Take the bowl, God, you

have to do this and that."

But the Virgin Mary speaks to God and lets God

do it in God's way. The Virgin Mary always

obeys. According to God's will, so from the

physical to the

spiritual life, the Virgin Mary is always closely

united with God, so following

the path of the Virgin Mary's Spirituality, consecrating ourselves to the Virgin

Mary is to follow that path of

asking for it every day of our lives.

For example, most of you here

live a married life, is that right? Is

anyone here unmarried?

If anyone is unmarried, have you

never been married? Oh, is that so? That's it. is

like maybe a candidate to

become a Consecrated virgin program.

Yeah, so most of this is

living a married life, so the

day you two get married, you two

say yes to each other,

right? That's just the beginning.

But you have to live that yes every day of

your life, and when you say

that Xên Vân every day, is it easy?

No, but from the day If you are

determined to Consecrate your life to the

Virgin Mary, you have to practice living the

life of the Virgin Mary in a more

more specific way, that

life of Yes in a more specific way. That

is, Consecration is to set apart, to set aside

for that work, so when

you Consecrate yourself to the Virgin Mary, you

can say what it is to completely separate

your life to dedicate it all. Consecration is all your

life, the

sacrifices you make every day, every day you have to

offer sacrifices, pray the rosary,

live to be completely dedicated to the Virgin Mary,

and to do what, so that the Virgin Mary can take you to with

God is the child of the mother or in

other words when you decide to

consecrate, this is a

very important decision, right? Very little,

not just seeing others do it, then

you do it too, because to put it

most specifically and clearly, what is consecration to the Virgin Mary?

You decide that from now on

holy life. If anyone feels that they do not want to

live a holy life or are not ready to be

Saying that does not mean that

we are holy, then we can

consecrate, right? At least we

must have the intention to become holy,

holy, we want to completely consecrate. Consecrate

our lives, ourselves,

completely to God through the Virgin

Mary, all activities. All

activities in our daily life

are dedicated to the Virgin Mary,

joy, sadness, hardship,

comfort, prayer hours, food, sleep,

all are dedicated to the Virgin Mary and through the Virgin Mary to come to

God. That is what consecration means,

right? It is not simply

consecration, just reading. The Bible says that consecration

is done or not, does it mean just wearing the

Virgin Mary's scapular is done?

Many people say that the Virgin Mary promised that

whoever wears the Virgin Mary's scapular inside will

not go to hell after death. So just

sure. Many people are too careful, afraid

that even after bathing, they have to wear it, it will get

wet and spoiled, so they wrap it in plastic

to keep it from spoiling, or every now and then

find a few, this one spoils and that one.

Surely when you die, you have to tell your children

to wear four or five of them, right? This one is not good, Quoc, this one is not good, that one is good, but it's the same. I will say more in the chapter later. If the Holy Mother consecrated the Virgin Mary, then wearing the

Virgin Mary's scapular is right? Tho, that's

just an external understanding to

prove that you have been

consecrated, but what's important is that

you have to live that consecrated life,

not just wearing a scapular and then

naturally everything is fine. Hell is not that

easy, right? So that's

why you become a Saint. is like that then

let's learn together a little So then

the the the the Ah the PR the

work that Consecration to the Virgin Mary

where does it come from is it

recognized by the church is it encouraged by the church

or is it a group of people sitting around

thinking and making it up? Dat is sometimes messy and the whole

group is heretical no one blindly leads the

blind all rolling around a bunch of nonsense must in

the end become a movement or

a group then miserably later on have to

be excommunicated n then

don't know what to do right So then

the movement the program of

Consecration to the Virgin Mary where does it come from where did

it come from it has been very ancient

in the church

it has not been specifically

formed clearly like we

have it now but it has developed over

time but especially from

very ancient times before going further

I would like to tell you guys this

is Consecration is following the movement following the

direction of saint lis right

we know outside saint lis Monf has

another direction? Saint

Maxim also has that program, but

most people know more about the program of

Saint Louis the Monf

because it also has a

longer history and there are priests of

that order to promote it. Therefore, many

people know about the program of

Consecration to the Virgin Mary of Saint Louis the Monf. Saint

Louis the Monf talked about

this: the matter of Consecrating

our whole body to the Virgin Mary so that we can do

what we want to do so that we can completely

belong to

God. We Consecrate ourselves to the Virgin Mary so that

we can completely belong to

God. So when we Consecrate the Virgin Mary,

we make a promise,

a promise that we will Consecrate

ourselves completely to the Virgin Mary

so that we can completely belong to

God. In the history of the Church,

we see that it has been from a very long time ago.

As I said, there have been saints and

Church Fathers who talked about

Consecration to the Virgin Mary, but they

used different words. For example,

in the letter of Saint Paul the

Apostle, it's very clear, isn't it? Saint Paul the

Apostle said to him,

what does he mean? He used the word be a slave of Jesus

Christ, become a servant,

become a slave of Christ, and we

know that a slave here is not understood in the

normal literal sense. We Are

Slaves means the lowly people, the servants, the

servants, the servants, the servants

of God, the servants of the Virgin

Mary. It doesn't mean that,

but what is it? It's the people who completely belong

to God, the property of the master. For example, the people that

we, the Master, were slaves of in the past, were the property

of the master. Right, those who are

called servants of God, the Virgin Mary,

in what sense do we completely

belong to God, completely

belong to the Virgin

Mary, in that sense, Saint Paul

used that word. We are slaves of Jesus

Christ, and according to that idea,

Saint Damon, Saint Joan Damon, around the

middle of the eighth century, also said about the Virgin

Mary, what is it? He became a servant. servant of the

Virgin Mary is the mother of God or what is it different

is completely completely belong to her so

we see that from very early on there were

those words then completely choose to the Virgin

Mary and what does completely choose to the Virgin Mary

mean is consecration to the Virgin Mary TH

is that right then we see

then to the 1st century that is the 8th century then

even the sermons about the Virgin

Mary from the 7th century also talked

about the words to become a servant of the

Virgin Mary completely choose to the Virgin Mary then to the

13th century the 12th century then the

13th century 10th century

in the

1st century early 8th century Pope

Anon the 7th spoke about that

we become servants

of the Virgin Mary then Pope Nicholas the 8th in

1292 also used those words then

Pope Francis the 5th in

1621 also talked about that idea then to

Saint Canter right sorry in the

early 12th century then saint bado

in the middle 12th century also

used those words servant of the

Virgin Mary is the mother of God so it has been around for a

long time until the 16th century

and the 12th 17th century then the

movement of Consecration to the Virgin Mary flourished

very strongly developed very quickly and these were the

times when saint l the

monf appeared in the 17th century that is

he was born in 1673 and died in

1716 he was called an

apostle of the

Virgin Mary Spreading the messages the

messages and teachings

of the Virgin Mary and telling the story that he walked 1000

1000

miles walk 1000 miles means

about 1600 kilometers near V

like walking from Hanoi to Saigon so

from North to South walking to go from

France to Rome to ask the Pope for

that permission to talk about those program

about the Virgin Mary to ask the pope for permission at

that time was Pope Clement XI he called

called

Saint Mary Isa Monf is the apostle is

the person opposite

missionary to bring that announcement then

in But so he began to write

a book called true devotion to

Mary the so-called truth about the

Consecration to the Virgin Mary but unfortunately what is

what is when he passed away

that book was lost No one paid attention to

his sermons about the Virgin Mary

that Consecration in that book put in the

chest no one paid attention until 100 years

years

later his disciples the

priests in his order

found his book in the chest

and began to read it again and found that it was

good and started to slowly promote

this book so we see that the whole

process of development like that then the popes, there are many

many

popes who not only encouraged but

also consecrated the world consecrated the

church to the Virgin Mary for example It was Pope

Paul VI who

spoke about the book of St. Louis the

True Devotion to Mary and promoted

people to use this book. He said

that it is the best and most acceptable

form of devotion, meaning that one of the

so-called devotions is the

best and

most acceptable. Then Pope Leo XIII

encouraged Christians

to consecrate themselves and the

church to the Virgin Mary. He

was the one who beatified St.

Louis the Virgin in

1888. Then Pope Paul VI also

spoke about the consecration to the Virgin Mary based

on the documents of St. Louis the Virgin Mary.

Then Pope Benedict XVI, Pope Benedict

XVI, Pope Paul VI, Pope Paul VI,

what did they do? They consecrated the world to the Virgin Mary

because in 1917 when the Virgin Mary appeared to the

three children at Fatima, the Virgin Mary also

called for the consecration of Russia to the

Immaculate Heart. sin

mother if the world Want to save so to

carry out the the the the what that the Virgin Mary

advised then the popes of

many times did that not

only consecrate Russia but later consecrate the

whole church to the Virgin Mary

For example, Pope Peter the XII when

canonizing Saint Louis the mon for

in 19447 he announced that

the the the spirituality of the Virgin Mary is

a spirituality that can be summarized but

it is very profound and it covers the

life of people who do not understand so

Pope John Paul II when

he ascended LP Pope what did he take as

his motto is totus totus to

what does it mean completely consecrated to the Virgin Mary

completely consecrated to the Virgin Mary and the Virgin Mary

has kept him So we see that

this is a movement that has

had a very long historical origin in the

life of the church and has been

talked about by many saints as well as many church fathers in the church and has been mentioned

and promoted by many Popes so our job

is not to worry about heresy or

not If we go in the right

direction that Saint I the mon for guides

us then this is a very good thing

many people are afraid that So

why not come to God but have to

come to the Virgin

Mary it is not careful to turn it around it seems

that we are venerating the Virgin Mary but

forgetting God or putting the Virgin Mary above God

as I said from the beginning what is

through the mother to come to God no one comes to the mother without the

mother bringing them to God And

no one comes to God without God

stirring them up Coming to the mother, the

matter of consecrating to the Virgin Mary

also originates from the Gospel. According to Saint John,

do we remember when Jesus was

dying on the cross, at the foot of the

cross there was the Virgin Mary and Saint John,

the Virgin Mary denied Saint John to the Virgin

Mary and the Virgin Mary gave Saint John to this is her

son and this is mother and child or in some way

Jesus consecrated and offered the

Church to the world by Saint John, this is

not his personal but

represents the church, that is, when

God the Father gave the Virgin Mary to Saint John

or Saint John gave to the Virgin Mary, Jesus

wanted to give the entire church, the entire

world to the Virgin Mary, from

that origin, the biblical origin and

theological origin give us a

reason to consecrate to the Virgin Mary because

that is what God wants because what God wants

and God, the Virgin Mary never

separates from life. Right when telling the story, at the

wedding feast in Canaan, do you see

when the Virgin Mary told Jesus that they had run

out of wine, then Jesus said that. If

there is Lien, then where is she, but the Virgin Mary

understands her child, usually

no one understands her child better than her mother, you see?

So the Virgin Mary tells

people what to do, what she says, do it, what

she says, do it. In

other words, what is the Virgin Mary not only

obeying God's will, but the Virgin Mary also teaches

people to obey God's will.

So if we consecrate ourselves to the Virgin

Mary, surely the Virgin Mary will help

us to carry out God's will,

live God's will in

I'll stop here for a few minutes to see if anyone wants to

have any questions or anything they want to share.

Or is everything clear? Surely

when you guys follow a program

like this, in addition to praying,

you guys learn about

this Consecration, how do you learn? Each person reads the

book individually or do we read together and

in my group? In my group, we

have three or four people sharing according to the

book of Saint Louis de Montford every

week or so every time. That's every day

because now three days a week

are for Catholic catechism so the other four

days are for us to divide each week

because there are five weeks so we

divide each week like ghost Anh Vinh

then it's

Thanh Thanh Han then say day 1 day ha

of the week anh Vinh then say day 3

day 4 tomorrow then say day n day 6

you then summarize the whole week so is there

learning right? Yes study 10 years study

10 years oh my god if so then

if so then it's very thorough right then then

I'm a little curious about the

catechism program then who teaches Catholic

catechism teach Catholic catechism then that's

great if so then this group probably doesn't

need to study much anymore or study must

study higher but if you keep saying

low low easy like that then it's too easy to get sleepy right It's late that

dad is asleep then play

when also

sleep but that's it Consecrated to the Virgin

Mary then whether awake is for the Virgin Mary but whether

sleep is for the Virgin Mary or sleep in the

Virgin Mary always right Or sleep in

God Yes please you don't need a mic for

everyone to hear so it's easier you can speak no so you do

n't get tired Yes yes my question is very

simple Yes father talking about

Consecration to the Virgin Mary should we

do it many times in our life

Or should we only do it once Yes yes

thank you

we do it many times yes we do it many

times For example every year every year for example in the

near future you brothers and sisters are consecrated

to the Virgin Mary on the day of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary,

every year on that day

we repeat that Consecration, just

like our fathers and teachers are the same

Every year when we are awake

that year, the fathers all make

their priestly promise again or those who are

religious, every year

after the year of awakening, they all repeat

their vows at least once a year to

remind themselves of that

and even the issue of Consecration of the whole

world is the same, that is, not

just one church one

pope Consecration of the Church for the Virgin Mary where so

many do not repeat that thing over and over again

and sometimes even for

ourselves personally that is if

possible then depending on our needs

feel it helps us a week 1

month 3 months reread the prayer that we

consecrate to do what to remind ourselves to

remind ourselves what we have consecrated

because many times we consecrate and then forget, right?

Even marriage here,

the teacher promised on the altar that we will

love and respect each other every day for

life but then we argue and curse each other, it's nothing to

each other. So sometimes we have to

often repeat that

marriage promise to remind ourselves that

we have consecrated to something. Many times, the teacher

promised to be faithful to each other

every day for life but to respect

each other every day for life, it seems like there is

no respect for each other every day,

right? Respect once in a while,

respect every day, it feels too tiring, right? Stay awake,

even that marriage promise

sometimes I really think that

couples should be like that,

choose one. once a week once a month

my husband and I read again the words we

promised each other on that wedding day to

remind ourselves of that, right?

Many times we humans easily forget,

right? The words of God to study the catechism for 10 years, one

ear goes in one ear and the other, right? What

about those promises? So

we should, not because

we need to, say, the Virgin Mary forgot, but

we ourselves forgot. Oh, let's

remind ourselves, the holy apostle John

in the Book of Revelation

said this, brothers, let's often

remind each other of our first love,

what does it mean? My love

for Uncle K, I also

often remind the teachers that

we, as monks, must

often remind ourselves of

our first love, not with some girl, but with God in the

past. What was the motivation that motivated us to become

monks in the past? What was

the motivation that helped

us decide to become monks?

Maybe with time, with the years, with

the collisions in work in

Community life sometimes we

forget the Master's promise about that

first love. Sometimes I say that.

We come here to become monks, but it's not to

eat well and dress well, right? If

anyone becomes a monk to eat well and dress

well, then they're going wrong, right? They're in the wrong

place. So everyone thinks that becoming a monk is to

give up

everything to follow God, right? But sometimes after being a monk for a

few months or a few years, if

the meal isn't delicious, we feel

uncomfortable. In the end, we're indifferent.

So when becoming a monk, we have to eat well, but if we eat poorly, we're

not happy, right? Thank you, Mr.

Chan. Yesterday, I cooked delicious vermicelli noodles. The

vermicelli soup was very

delicious, so I

ate it this morning. I ate it this morning and it was so delicious. Let me

see a little bit of the spicy sauce. In the morning, it's

warm and warms the stomach. Or sometimes,

becoming a monk is not to

always be happy and joyful,

right? But sometimes when we encounter a

little difficulty, we start to feel

discouraged about monastic life. When we become monks,

we are B, giving up everything, carrying the Cross every day to

Cross, it means that when there are times when we are

not happy, not happy, not going

our way, then we naturally want to leave the

monastery, what does that mean? We forget the

first love that motivated us to become

monks from the beginning. So the

consecrated life of you brothers and sisters is the same,

sometimes we have to remind ourselves.

So on the day of Consecration,

what do we consecrate? What do we promise? What does it include? And I

love you, all of you,

even the promise that most of

you make? This is living, living in marriage. So

when you get married, what did you promise?

Because when you promised something in your marriage,

today you also

consecrated that to the

Virgin Mary. So when you sacrifice in

family life,

accepting difficulties and challenges

in the family, giving in to each other in the

family is also to offer Consecration

to the Virgin Mary because the Virgin Mary also offers

to God all the joys and

lonely times when Saint Joseph passed away

and saw that the mother was too much of an orphan and

then Jesus went to preach at home alone there were

times of sadness

is definitely sad C right there were times of loneliness yes yes

there were times when I thought If

only Jesus was at home to help me

carry a few buckets of water to make it difficult to see that the

Virgin Mary also

completely consecrated to God Obeying the

will of God means when we accept

the small things in our

daily lives, our joys and sorrows, so

because of that, should we consecrate?

especially with the Bible

consecration, especially if we live

in a family with both husband and wife

Consecration but for a long time, I feel like there is something I

forgot Sometimes husband and wife should kneel down

to reread the Consecration prayer together to

remind each other to help each other And when

we remember that when we consecrate

together like that, we also

have the responsibility to encourage each other to live

our words of Consecration,

live our words of Consecration too

Yes Who else is there to say yes, please invite Sister

Diep to let it be easier for

you to follow, now if you just

obey, for example, my husband and children have not

read the prayer, now I consecrate

to those two people at the same time,

father. For example, now I go to consecrate,

now I consecrate those people to

God for my mother, is that okay? Thank you, sister.

Technically, the correct meaning is no,

no, what is it?

That person must be completely free and voluntarily

choose that thing and participate in

that program, there must be a preparation of the

mind, but now we

sanctify people for the Virgin Mary, and if

they do not live that, in the end

they make mistakes and die because of that, so the

Consecration? I understand that,

what do you mean when you say Consecration? That

means I understand, I understand, it means

that you want to use them for the Virgin Mary only, no, it is

different, it is not called

consecration, that means you offer them up so that the Virgin

Mary can protect and shelter them, it is different from

the Consecration that we are talking about here, the

two are different, right? The

Consecration that we are talking about. What is this? There is

a preparation and you personally

want and you are determined to be holy.

Now you want your husband to be holy but

your husband doesn't want to be holy. What is

this? You still want to be lazy. That means in

the end you can't do it.

So, you can say, "Oh,

you are a saint, but you also dedicate

your family, how do you dedicate your life,

your husband and children to the Virgin Mary

to ask the Virgin Mary to pray for her protection? Is that okay? It's

like calling it a saint

in the sense that we are talking about here,

each individual must freely and voluntarily

choose to follow the spirituality of the

Virgin Mary, no one can force us,

but if you want to dedicate your husband,

children and grandchildren, you just do it. It's okay, it's very good.

Yes, there are many articles, many women who want to

you are very thoughtful. Oh, there are some men who don't want to

dedicate themselves to the Virgin Mary, I don't know why,

thanks to or because or because the Virgin Mary

is a woman, so you think that

this is a matter for women and

not for men. know is there a consecration Saint

Joseph or straight with God are

you here here here there is this guy I

want to see why you guys bet I'm a

CH said there is a house like this the central

person that is

Min my life is very shy

ch but because Ms. Ngoc saw Thoi

life Saint Nen her pulled Minh to

come back and pray together in

this prayer group and once

was also invited to the prayer group maybe

not full of everyone

but C went to that house also hoping that

the warmth of this prayer group

would draw his wife to the Virgin

Mary to God

today Min only has one thing that is very frustrating

frustrating

father this frustration But almost when Minh

Minh

goes to spread the good news of Jesus

people ask

who created that Where Who naturally C

Naturally then why in

Your Hail Mary is the part at the back, it

's Holy Mary, Mother of God, that is,

Mary. I have confided in Ms. Ngoc many times, and Ms.

Ngoc explained, so I also know

that it was Ms. Ngoc's explanation, and here

I also respect all

opinions, but the thing is, today is the

first time I've been standing here to ask a

father, a priest, I've never had the

opportunity to ask anyone like that. Because the

part at the back is made up by humans,

but the first part, Hail Mary,

is in that prayer. So here, that's what I'm

saying to people, that's what no

one created. Why is that mother, the Mother of

God? B here, I'm saying that if

Jesus is a person with two natures,

one nature is of God, one

nature is

human and 100 is God. Therefore, if

in the Hail Mary, I read it every time

I read it in prayer, I say

Holy Mary, Mother of God. I think

about it,

God, I feel it is

One, which is expressed through

God. Yes yes so now what do you think

when the sentence that says is

Holy Mary Mother of God when when the

whole Mary Mother of God

is Holy Mary Mother of God, ok thank you

brother Yes please listen to Father's opinion Yes yes Yes ladies and

gentlemen this is one of the four

dogmas about the Virgin Mary, that is the doctrine of the

Church, there are many things said about the

Virgin Mary, but there are four things about the Virgin Mary that

force all Catholics to believe,

whoever does not believe is guilty, what are the four names of the dogmas

for the children of the Virgin Mary to consecrate?

First is what name?

First is the Virgin Mary the Mother of God, second is the Virgin

Mary forever, third is the

Immaculate Conception, fourth is the Assumption of Mary, body and

soul, see?

Now let's study the doctrine a little more, what day is the day the

Virgin Mary is the Mother of God celebrated?

January 0th of the solar calendar every year,

is that right? And what day is the feast of the Virgin Mary

forever, this is the most difficult thing,

everyone remembers the other three like the Virgin Mary

Dong Chinh is remembered forever on

what day? This means that it is very Venerable to the

Virgin Mary as the mother of God.

Venerable to the Virgin Mary is to respect the Virgin Mary as the

Immaculate Conception. This Virgin Mary is assumed into

heaven. It seems that she does

not like it. She is a virgin forever. It is

remembered on

August 22, the feast of the Virgin Mary. The Virgin Mary is Queen. August 22, the Virgin Mary

Queen. The Queen means the Virgin

Mary is Queen, right? So that day is on August 2. From now on, don't forget it, right? The

Immaculate Conception is December 8. The

Assumption of the Virgin Mary is August 15. It is a

dogma that was finally announced in

1950 by Pope John Paul II.

So the advancement of the Virgin Mary as the mother of

God is very important. The advancement of the Virgin

Mary as the mother of God is not to

honor her separately, but what is it once

again, through her to honor God, this is what is it? The Council of Saint

John announced very early that we know

that when Jesus was born,

around the third century, there

was a movement with a priest who came

up and said like this, oh Jesus, he is the

best man ever

born on this earth, but

Jesus is not God,

Jesus is just a creature, the

best man of all

men born in

this world, but Jesus is not

God, and that goes

against the doctrine of the Church

because what is Revelation, he is the son of God, the holy one,

in the first

Gospel of Saint John, he said, what is in the

beginning, there was the Word, the Word,

what is Jesus, and the Word with

God the Father? So Jesus is

true God, so the church brought

together the councils to discuss and come up with a

clear dogma, what is Jesus, who has

two natures, he is true God and he

is true man, and we must remember this,

many people. think that Jesus has two

natures so it's almost like Jesus is

50% God and 50%

human, combined is both, is considered as

God and human, isn't that right?

Jesus is 100% God and 100%

human, and to

confirm the doctrine that Jesus is

truly God, what did the church come up with?

So then the Virgin Mary must be the mother of God.

Why is that? The Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus, right?

Now, if you just read that the

Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus, do you think anything? The Virgin

Mary is only the mother of Jesus, who is human,

but Jesus is not

human, Jesus is

God. Do you see? So that sentence is

not to honor the Virgin Mary, but

that sentence through the Virgin Mary is to honor God. That's

right, that sentence is to honor God,

not to honor the mother. All four of the

Precepts of the Virgin Mary are not

special graces that

God gave to the Virgin Mary, but in the end,

what is the result? It is to serve

God's plan, for example. What was the purpose of the Virgin Mary being made into

God? For Jesus to come down to earth

as a human to serve the program of

redemption, is that right? Even the

Virgin Mary's perpetual virginity to speak

of is to Glorify God because the womb of the

Virgin Mary was called to carry God in her womb, then there

is no other creature

worthy to be in the womb of the Virgin Mary anymore. As

I said at this moment, when a person is

consecrated to God, then he can only

be used for God. Therefore, when

a person is consecrated to

God, then there is no

creature worthy to dwell in it anymore. For example,

now the house creates the holy body of God.

Should we not put bread in there?

Should we put diamonds in there?

No, only to sanctify my Lord. The

womb of the Virgin Mary was called to carry God, then there is only

God and no creature worthy to

enter it anymore. Therefore, when declaring the name of the Virgin Mary, it

is to

praise God and to give something special to

God there. It is also through the mother to glorify

God, not for the mother. Even

the name of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary

What is the purpose of the Immaculate Conception? The Virgin Mary

received the special grace of not having

original sin. Original sin is passed on

through what? What is passed on through what? What is passed on through blood?

Those who are born of a woman

naturally have original sin. So

now Jesus is the savior of the world, coming

to redeem the sins of the world, but Jesus was born of a normal

person, a normal woman. So if

Jesus also has original sin, then

he also has sin, so how can he redeem the

sins of others? For example, now Ngoc is

in debt to her uncle. I

want to help her pay off her debt, so I have to be

debt-free. I have to have a few coins to

help her. Now I'm also in debt, so

how can I help her? So,

in order to redeem the sins of humanity,

what must Jesus do? He must be innocent.

Jesus also has sins, so how can he

redeem the sins of humanity? If Jesus

is innocent, then what? The person who gave birth to Jesus

must be innocent first. And if the Virgin Mary

committed the general sin, then Jesus was also

infected with original sin.

So even the thing that God gave the Virgin

Mary the grace of Immaculate Conception is not

entirely to honor the mother, but

to serve the salvation program of

God. Do we see that

in the end, it is to glorify God,

not entirely to the Virgin Mary. Even when

the Virgin Mary ascended to heaven, the Virgin

Mary deserves to be rewarded by God, but why

did God do that?

Because it was the same when God entered the

Virgin Mary's palace, the Virgin Mary

became It was God's temporary house, so

God did not want that body to

rot and decay in the

ground, so God took the Virgin Mary's body and soul

to heaven to keep that.

We see that these are the houses of

famous people,

no one demolished them, no one kept them to make

the so-called historical relics, right?

People came to visit even the house of

Pope John Paul II or the

house of the holy family of Jesus.

Now we can go to the continent to visit it. The Virgin Mary

is God's house, so

how could God let it rot?

So God took the Virgin Mary's body and soul

to heaven to keep that house

that called God to be there, that God had lived there

for all, for God, not

for the Virgin Mary. The dogma that the Virgin Mary is the mother of God

is because it wants to determine what God is, that

God is

truly God, so the Virgin Mary is the mother of God, then the Virgin Mary

is naturally the mother of God.

However, saying that the Virgin Mary is the mother of God

does not mean that the mother gave birth to

God as a son. we were born, right? That

is to say that the Virgin Mary is the mother of

God, this is a special grace,

not that it is a natural birth,

then being a mother, we see that there

are many ways to be a mother, right? The

normal way is that when you give birth,

you become a mother, right? So now, is

Ngoc a mother? Is she a mother? Is she a

mother? How did your child not give

birth? See, no? That is to say, now

I also have a child, many people call me a father, a second

child, right? Or

I adopt a child, I am also a child, what is it? The Virgin

Mary did not give birth to God, the Virgin Mary gave birth to

God in the normal way,

but when it comes to God, so

many people wonder, so then,

how was the God of the child of Catholics born? Buddha was born after Buddha?

Buddha was born around 500

BC, and Jesus was the beginning of the Christian era. Is

consciousness God for Catholics, is it Buddha?

God has existed since

eternity, but in the fullness of time, the

second person of God became incarnate as a

human being? was born so Jesus is

in that sense not from

that moment then there is God but

Jesus is true God so when the Virgin

Mary is the mother of Jesus then the Virgin Mary must

be the mother of God and it is impossible to

separate the two natures of God there

is no separation of the two natures when

God incarnates Jesus incarnates

as a human then in that human

is completely God and human for the Virgin

Mary is the mother of God and Jesus is

God then naturally what is the Virgin Mary the

mother of God However theology is very

careful to avoid the meaning that if so then did the

Virgin Mary give birth to God the Father not

allow the church never use the

word what is the Virgin Mary is the mother of God the Father never

say that also

never say the Virgin Mary is the mother of Jesus Han

Thanh not never say

Although the three persons are one

God the three persons are one God but do

not use the word the Virgin Mary is the mother of God the

Father so what is taught in the church For God the Father the

Virgin Mary is the

beloved daughter of God Father for

Jesus Christ the Virgin Mary is the mother of the second person of

God and also the mother of God because Jesus

Christ is God, is that right? For example,

now people say, "My mother

is the mother of Mr. Thang" because Mr. Thang

is the father. So is my mother the mother of

Thang's father? Surely she is called Thang's father's mother?

Should I say hello to Mr.

Thang's great-grandmother and then say hello, but it's not the

mother of this father, no, I

am both this Thang and I

am also Thang's father, which means my mother

is the mother of that Thang, and I am also the

mother of the priest. So Jesus Christ is God, then the Virgin Mary

is the mother of Jesus Christ, and also the mother of God, but

to avoid confusion, the

church never says that the Virgin Mary is the beloved daughter of God the father, the

mother of the second person of

God, and what is the lifelong companion of the

Holy Spirit? Why is it called the

lifelong companion of the Holy Spirit? Because Jesus

Christ was called by the Holy

Spirit, so theology makes a very

clear distinction if we understand what So

we won't get lost. Is it

clear today? Yes, it's very clear.

Thank you, [Applause]

[Applause]

God, do you still want to listen or

today's program? I

told you to be tired and we'll split up like

this. We'll start sharing at 9:00,

late at 10:00, and then we'll have an

hour for us to be silent because if

we're calm, and if we just listen and talk, it wo

n't be calm,

right? So we have an hour

for us to be here. The campus is very

beautiful. We can go for a walk, we can

sit in the chapel, we can sit in front of a

statue. We have hours

for us to be still, we meditate

on what we've heard, and then

we start thinking. So

how have we prepared to be

consecrated to the Virgin Mary? What does consecration to the Virgin Mary

mean to us? Let's take an hour of

silence to pray, and then at 11:00, we'll

come back here to pray with the

priests and teachers. Read that common prayer

then we see that in

these heads there is this book This book is

the book to read the prayer yet okay Then in a moment we

will announce the which page

we see open which page Today

is the feast of the feast of the consecration of the

Doan Lano temple then the book of songs that

we sing will be this book right

this is in Vietnamese Today is the

11th day of the month so the monastery is praying in

English but just to make it

easier for all of us we

pray yet and the Vietnamese mass This is

the book of songs And this is the book of noon prayers right

okay wake up after 11 o'clock we

gather here we read the

Eucharist we read the prayer yet okay with the priests and

monks then we have mass after

mass we have lunch after lunch we

have a little

time for us to calm down we

rest a little we

pray we go for a walk then after 2 o'clock

we come back here we continue to

listen to the image And after 3 o'clock we

have the holy body Lord, the

Holy Eucharist, we have 15 minutes of Holy Communion,

first we meditate on Holy Communion,

then we pray the Rosary of Our

Lady, right? And then we

have Benediction to finish. After that,

we'll be dismissed for about 4

hours. That's our program

today. Now, I don't know if

listen, let's listen a little more and then

we'll think about it. Let's go pray

privately. So we see that when

we talk about Consecration to the Virgin Mary, the Virgin

Mary lived a life completely for

God, completely for God, from the day

the Virgin Mary said, as we heard in the Gospel, "

I am the handmaid of

God, I accept it as the Divine Land has said."

From the day the Virgin Mary said, "

What is the name of the King?" she accepted, she

decided to live completely for God,

Her whole life was completely, no one could

unite with the will of God

better than the Virgin Mary. We

can say

that God thinks. whatever the Virgin Mary thinks is

so all the thoughts of the Virgin Mary are completely

dependent and connected with the thoughts of

God the Mother Living in close union

with God, so when you

decide to consecrate yourself to the Virgin Mary,

you also have to practice to accept and carry out

God's will every day of

our lives and carrying out God's will is

not as easy as we often think

And sometimes we pray but

sometimes we are not aware of

our prayers Perhaps because of fervent piety

we can say Lord, I

want to imitate You, I

want to live completely

Consecrated to you, whatever you want, I am ready to

accept. I sleep at night, Lord, give me a stroke, I am paralyzed,

I cannot lift my head up anymore, are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you

ready? I can't

say it. Sometimes we have to be very

conscious of our prayers, don't pray

too much, don't pray too much, don't pray too spontaneously,

pray nonsense without being ready, then

then

cry to heaven and earth, right? If

we really the thing that wants to dedicate ourselves to the Virgin

Mary completely intercede with

God in our joys

in holiness urge us right C not to

suffer our discomforts our grievances

in even

our weaknesses

completely unite to the Virgin

Mary means that in our day we

must often remember the Virgin Mary

also St. John St. Damas what did he say

often in the day often remember God often remember God often

think about God and if

we often remember God

often think about God what does it mean is the

way we pray continuously

but if in the day our head is

always thinking about God remember God

then we have no time to think about getting angry at

anyone right or have thoughts to

judge anyone V we let our mind be

empty we have

bad thoughts that creep

into our mind just like

once the disciples asked Jesus to exorcise

that woman, Jesus said exorcising

demons is not difficult but if Jesus exorcised

demons from that woman In

their hearts, if there is no God, there will be

many other demons that will come in.

Now there are seven demons, how can they become 12 or

15? So when our minds,

souls, and souls, our lives,

without God, without a mother, how can we not

keep evil things? They will

seep in.

So, if we

nourish our minds

by regularly remembering God,

regularly thinking about God, and every day being

aware that we have consecrated ourselves to the

Virgin Mary, then our lives will be different.

One of the reasons that makes us prone to

sin is that we easily forget.

So, in the Nine Testaments, many

times the Bible says, "Remember,

God did this for you.

God saved you from this. God saved

this person and that. Remember, why is it that every time the

Jews were saved by God,

they forgot, why did they betray God? They

worshiped this god and that god,

right? They did wrong things. So,

what does the Bible say? Remember, remember.

So, one of the factors that makes us prone to sin?

so we easily make enemies because

we forget to examine ourselves, when we go to

confession, we beat our chests and eat and forget,

right? Let's go out and forget. Let's

start glaring at each other again. Let's not

start judging each other again because

we forget, so let's

remind ourselves often, let's remind

remind

ourselves often to remember. Lord, please let me remember. So

there is a prayer about the Virgin Mary that talks about remembering someone. Remember the

Night Prayer, no, it's very famous,

what prayer, oh, remember? Remember the Prayer, which is

this prayer, which is the prayer, which says, Who said,

Mother Mary, please remember? We're afraid that Mother Mary will forget,

so we remind Mother Mary to remember that we promised

this and that. So now we have to add

another prayer, which is not only asking Mother Mary to

remember, but asking Mother Mary to let me remember.

Not only what did you promise me,

but remember so that I can remember what did I promise you?

Maybe Ngoc will give each

person a test,

right? So each person composes their own poem

with the Prayer, but we remember

for Mother Mary, right? about each

The person who writes each prayer How to remind

yourself of the things you have done.

After offering, bring it out to read together and then see

which prayer you choose later for the group to

read, so we have those things to offer

to the Virgin Mary, and

this is what we in the

Catholic Church have many different spiritualities,

right? The Spirituality of

certainly because of why? Because

no one is closer to the Virgin Mary than God, no one is more

united with God than the Virgin Mary,

and not only is it certain, but

what else is there? God gives us to the Virgin

Mary, gives the Virgin Mary to God, so God wants it that way,

God wants us to follow the

Spirituality of the Virgin Mary, follow the path of the Virgin

Mary. God wants us to consecrate ourselves to the Virgin

Virgin

Mary, and moreover, the path of the Virgin Mary is not

only certain, what is it? It is a

simple path without any complexity, right?

Because when she was on Earth, the Virgin Mary was the

queen of wisdom, but the Virgin Mary

was not a learned scholar with a

PhD or a master's degree,

that's not for So the Spirituality

of Our Lady is very simple in

daily life that anyone can follow. Everyone can understand, that's why

can understand, that's why the Rosary, do you remember that

the Rosary, do you remember that one of the purposes of the Rosary is

one of the purposes of the Rosary is to do what? There are many

to do what? There are many purposes. What is one of the purposes? In the

purposes. What is one of the purposes? In the past, the priests, especially the

past, the priests, especially the monks, they read the Divine Office as if they had never read it.

monks, they read the Divine Office as if they had never read it. Now we read in the book of 150

Now we read in the book of 150 Psalms in ancient times, very few people

Psalms in ancient times, very few people knew how to

knew how to memorize it, so if they wanted to read the Divine

memorize it, so if they wanted to read the Divine Office in the Monasteries, but the monks who did

Office in the Monasteries, but the monks who did not know how to memorize it,

not know how to memorize it, what did Saint Benedict teach on Sunday to spend

what did Saint Benedict teach on Sunday to spend that day memorizing the saints?

that day memorizing the saints? There are people who really know it by heart, and I

There are people who really know it by heart, and I have a friend who now knows all 10,050

have a friend who now knows all 10,050

Psalms a day. So Sunday is what they spend. They learned the Psalms, but

learned the Psalms, but most of the rich people were illiterate, so what to

most of the rich people were illiterate, so what to do? This rosary

do? This rosary symbolizes the words of the Divine Office, 150 Hail Marys,

symbolizes the words of the Divine Office, 150 Hail Marys, it symbolizes 150

it symbolizes 150 Psalms for them

Psalms for them What is the English name of the Psalm? It is the marion SH,

What is the English name of the Psalm? It is the marion SH, which means the psalm of the Virgin Mary, but when

which means the psalm of the Virgin Mary, but when we read about the Hail Mary,

we read about the Hail Mary, many people think that the Hail Mary

many people think that the Hail Mary is the prayer of the Virgin Mary. So that

is the prayer of the Virgin Mary. So that person does not pray to God all

person does not pray to God all day and night. Mother Mary, yes, it is not the Hail Mary. The Rosary

day and night. Mother Mary, yes, it is not the Hail Mary. The Rosary is the prayer

is the prayer of God, not the prayer of the Virgin Mary.

Only through the mother do we reach God. Why do I say that? Many people say Oh,

say that? Many people say Oh, Catholics do not bother to read the

Catholics do not bother to read the Bible. I just Hail Mary every day. Hail Mary,

Bible. I just Hail Mary every day. Hail Mary, blessed. Hail Mary, blessed saints. I do

blessed. Hail Mary, blessed saints. I do n't know anything. I read the Hail Mary,

n't know anything. I read the Hail Mary, but in its true sense

but in its true sense it is a summary of the

it is a summary of the first Bible. The 20 mysteries of the Rosary

first Bible. The 20 mysteries of the Rosary are a summary of the Bible.

are a summary of the Bible. What is the mystery of the five joyful mysteries? Speaking of the mystery of the second person

What is the mystery of the five joyful mysteries? Speaking of the mystery of the second person incarnated as a human being, what is the mystery of

incarnated as a human being, what is the mystery of the light? What is

What is the joy of the Resurrection of Jesus in the 20 short mysteries, the

Jesus in the 20 short mysteries, the last two mysteries are directed towards the Virgin

last two mysteries are directed towards the Virgin Mary, the Virgin Mary received the grace to

Mary, the Virgin Mary received the grace to ascend to heaven in body and soul, right? Then the Virgin Mary

ascend to heaven in body and soul, right? Then the Virgin Mary was rewarded by God in heaven, the rest

was rewarded by God in heaven, the rest is all about God. That is a summary of the

is all about God. That is a summary of the Bible, so every time we

Bible, so every time we finish praying, we meditate a little, that

finish praying, we meditate a little, that is the Bible. Even the Hail Mary

is the Bible. Even the Hail Mary itself is the Bible, right?

itself is the Bible, right? Hail Mary, full of grace, the

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. Whose words are these? The

Lord is with you. Whose words are these? The angel, the angel, the

angel, the angel, the angel, greet the Virgin Mary, right? Is that

angel, greet the Virgin Mary, right? Is that the Bible? Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you? That is the truth. Is it the Bible? Hail Mary, full of

the Bible? Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you? That is the truth. Is it the Bible? Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with

grace, the Lord is with you? That is what Elizabeth said. See?

you? That is what Elizabeth said. See? Why did I have a visit from the mother of God?

Why did I have a visit from the mother of God? I see,

I see, this is also in the Bible,

this is also in the Bible, not something the church made up. What did the

not something the church made up. What did the Bible say? By what did I

Bible say? By what did I have a visit from the mother of God?

have a visit from the mother of God? Because, as soon as I heard your greeting,

Because, as soon as I heard your greeting,

my heart leaped for joy, and that is what he declared. In the Bible, where did the

In the Bible, where did the mother of God come to visit

me? Then the grace of the Immaculate Conception. Many people wonder about the grace of the Immaculate Conception. The

people wonder about the grace of the Immaculate Conception. The church gets the Bible. The

church gets the Bible. The origin of the Bible is from two

origin of the Bible is from two places. The first is in

places. The first is in Genesis, chapter 3, verse 15, when

Genesis, chapter 3, verse 15, when man sinned, God promised to come and

man sinned, God promised to come and save the world. God said, "I will

save the world. God said, "I will put enmity between you and the woman,

put enmity between you and the woman, your offspring, the woman's offspring.

your offspring, the woman's offspring. The woman will strike your head,

The woman will strike your head, and you will strike her heel."

and you will strike her heel." That is the promise. God promised to give

That is the promise. God promised to give salvation. He came to redeem man. He was chosen

salvation. He came to redeem man. He was chosen from the beginning. Then what

from the beginning. Then what is the second thing? When the angel greeted
