Memorial of St. Cecilia, Magnificat November 22, 2025 Photo by Meryl Viola Bravo
The readings of this Liturgical Memorial of St. Cecilia, Virgin and Martyr, delivers a serious consolation for me as a Virgin at the age of 47 years old.
The Gospel according to Luke 20:27-40 proclaims a reality of mystery of the resurrection. To neither marry nor be given in marriage delivers an objective condition of the body preserved like the angels of Heaven. For it is an intellectual condition to be Virgin.
When presenting an image of Man and Woman are there suggestions leading to a language of BOND and CHARITY towards a love for the VIRGINITY of the Person? Are the suggestions at a decision made at a CONVICTION of status and relationship? Is it one or the other? Status or Relationship?
LOVE determines a REALITY of RELATIONSHIP and in this status there is an ongoing REALITY. Virginity is a REALITY for the person and the dignity of HUMANITY!

I shall begin a Life of a Virgin and this shall be the beginning through the Eyes and Heart of Carmel. Only through Carmel shall I enter into the REALM OF THE GREAT WHITE ROBED ARMY! In this reflection of a life of a Virgin, I unite my Heart to the HEART OF THE DIVINE BRIDEGROOM and in HIS Sacred Heart I remain His forever at the Sacred Heart Retreat House, Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Alhambra, California, United States of America.
Easter Candle, Alpha and Omega, Beginning and End 2022
What are the reflections of VIRGINITY and WHITE-ROBED Garment of Baptism? Easter is a RENEWAL of Baptismal Grace for your DIGNITY in the FULLNESS of your person as an IMAGE and LIKENESS of GOD and HIS DIVINE NATURE in you. Virginity is KNOWN for a serious dignity to your body, loved, resurrected and FULL GLORY!
The Celibacy of Male and Female is a Religion of Peace.
How does Man come forth ready for Woman? Is he ever-present to the realities of the delivery of child and Mother? Are his illusory conditions left at the stable and the child is no longer a savior to either one who has conceived with sin and no grace the child in her womb?
There is only ONE Eternal Son and Immaculate Conception.
What do you eat?
Do you plan your meals?
Do you eat at home with a plate full of home cooking and a diet with all the vitamins and nutrients?
Do you sit at a table with silverware and dinnerware set for you to enjoy?
I have been
given the grace to reflect on my May Crowning in observing the wonderful
delivery that this moment in history is a moment to reflect.On May 14, 1995, my decision became evident
that I was to receive an honorable condition that in this lifetime and in this
pilgrimage towards Heaven and Eternal Home; there are actions and honored
decisions.
Who will decide
the worthy condition?
Who will
commend the decision?
Who will make
the determined act of which these are the qualities of existence in the sight
of Mary, Queen and Mother?
How was a
chosen female person brought to the sanctuary to hold the crown of which the
Queen and Mother of Heaven would permit a hand of a maiden to despise the
demonic consideration?
It is a crown I
hold to place on the Head of the Queen of Heaven.It is a crown I will adorn for love of her
decision to be a most sincere effort to all female persons to listen to the
heart of God and His decision to love her.How shall I adorn my Queen and Mother?
To adorn the
Head of the Queen.To adorn her with
charity and the virtue of which the life here on Earth will never find unless
the hand came from a sincere handmaiden who loved her.
To love the
Head and the Queen of Heaven.To love
her with the most honorable despise of any spirit of which denies her the
kindness of being present to her.And
amidst, the humdrum trivialities of school and study; I shall not interfere in
the desire of a handmaiden to love the Queen and Mother of my Lord.
To prefer the
Head and the Queen and Mother of Heaven.To prefer her is a most decisive condition in me to love her whom my
heart will only elately be satisfied.I
can only tell you, I leave everything and I am with my Mother in Heaven.I shut the open field of which I am sustained
by a grand alliance, and an interior silence overtakes the humdrum and the
littlest petal created on the crown is made with the preferred condition of no
other.
I have
considered all prospects and she has always known her love for the Queen of
Heaven.She and no other will tell her
of what love this is and how it will present itself before a vast consideration
of alliances.God is her Redeemer and
Love.He will despise the author of a
life against this honorable condition.God is her deliverer and He will tremble the loss of those who did not
wait for the Bridegroom.I am not
consoled by the male factors ahead except by a man who loves Him.
Meryl is my
name and Mother and Queen of Heaven is my delight as the crowning begins to
adhere to the suffering of trial and mishap.I am a lover of souls and the soul is Queen who has already conquered
death.
Queen of
Heaven, conqueror of demons, leave this world and take me with you.
