New Music Video: "Lend Us Your Heart"

“Lend Us Your Heart”

“Then the LORD God said to the serpent:

"Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; On your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life. I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel." 

- Genesis 3:14-15

The Title:  This piece of music and video was inspired by years of meditation with the Blessed Virgin Mary and triggered by the motto of the new Bishop Andrew Cozzens, “Lend Us Your Heart.”

Why Bishop Cozzens?  Two reasons.  One, he is a friend and two, he is a personal example of Marian Devotion.

What is Comet ISON?

Many people today are interested in the “Comet of the Century”, Comet ISON.   This comet has an interesting path through our skies that correlates with the Catholic calendar.

Objects from the  “Oort Cloud” – Comets, orbit the Sun over long periods of time.  As comets get closer to the sun they become more luminous.  They emit gas and dust that gets blown by the solar wind away from the Sun, this is what we call the tail of the comet.

Comets do not always make it around the Sun (perihelion) . Sometimes they get pulled apart and fall into the Sun. There are high hopes that ISON will make it around the Sun and give us an amazing display.

Back in September, it parallel with the planet Mars from the constellation Cancer.  Once the comet reached the heart of the constellation Leo it became visible to armature observers.   At this point it became brighter and brighter as it passed through the constellation Virgo.   It has passed through the constellation Libra joining the planets Saturn and Mercury just before November 28 (Thanksgiving U.S.A.) when it makes its way around the Sun in the constellation Scorpio.

Planets and the meaning of their names:

Mars: Roman God of War 


Mercury: Speedy Messenger 


Saturn: The Sickle

Constellations: Leo (Lion)
Virgo (Vigin)
Libra (Scales)
Scorpio ('the (creature with) a burning sting,  Serpens Caput (Head of the Serpent)

November 28	Rounds the Sun (perihelion) In the heart of the constellation “Scorpio”	“St. Catherine Laboure” (Who received the “Miraculous Medal” from Our Lady)	“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Luke 21
December 1	Tail at brightest due to perihelion –	“1st Sunday of Advent” beginning of the Church liturgical Year	So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” – Mt 24
December 9	The tail will come to the base of head of  the constellation “Serpens Caput”   (Serpents Head)	Immaculate Conception (Image on the “Miraculous Medal”)	I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.” –Gen 3 “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. – Luke 1
December 12	Tail completes Sweep over the head of “Serpens Caput”	“Our Lady of Guadeloupe” (Aztecs called her “Snake Crusher”)	“A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth.” -Rev 12  “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my savior.” -Luke 1
December 15	The tail of the comet passes over “Corona Borealis”( The Crown of Stars)	“Octave of the Immaculate Conception”	“The fatherless and the widow he sustains, but the way of the wicked he thwarts. The LORD shall reign forever; your God, O Zion, through all generations.” – Ps 146
December 26 ––	The comet passes Earths orbit	St. Stephen, the first martyr	“You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end will be saved.” -Mat 10

These are all are significant feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary whom Catholics believe is the women for-told in Genesis who’s off-spring (the Son of God) together with her crushes the head of the serpent. 

Prayer on the “Miraculous Medal”:

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

Lastly, I have come to see Mary as the Mother and Queen of the Universe.  The miraculous image of Our Lady of Guadeloupe, prominently displayed in this music video is that image;  an image given us by the Father in heaven of his beloved daughter.   She is the image of what we will enjoy in the resurrection of the body, not bound by space and time and in constant communion with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit!    Her body is a blue print of the final mysteries of our Faith and a map of the beautiful system of celestial bodies that point us to her first love,  God.

Peace be with you!  Please share what you have learned and pass on the Music Video!  J - Justin
