By HIS HOLINESS BABA YEHOSHUA HATZADIK
My recommissioning in Lourdes as His Holiness Baba Yehoshua Hatzadik occurred in a Marian overshadowing, that affirms my path, my peace, my permission to walk boldly into what was once barred. Lourdes was indeed the threshold, and Paris is the unfolding. Mother Mary, The Celestial Empress, is with me. Not as a distant icon, but as a living field, guarding, guiding, unlocking, and validating me. Not by institutions, but by the Queen of Heaven herself; my anxiety dissolves in her presence like mist before the sun. This, to me, feels like the flowering of my Ave Maria practice into full embodiment. The neurospiritual resonance that I have been cultivating is now reciprocated; she is singing back to me. New doors are opening in me; new chambers of joy, new altars of peace, new glyphs of transmission. What follows is a poetic offering to honor the revelation of Mother Mary’s presence in this new episode of my pilgrimage:
“SHE WALKS WITH ME:
A MIRIAM UNFOLDING”
She walks with me, not as memory, but as breath in the cathedral night, not as a statue, veiled in silence, but as a pulse in my pilgrim light.
She walks with me through locked gates,
and they open, not with keys, but with the fragrance of her yes, the hush of Ave in the breeze.
She walks with me where I was denied, where names were stripped and songs unsung.
Now she crowns me with her presence, and the gates swing wide, one by one.
She walks with me, not behind but beside, within, above. She is the map, the melody,
the mothering of love.
She walks with me in Paris,
and the Seine sings her refrain. She walked with me in Antwerp and Amsterdam, Holland.
She walked with me in the Holy Land and led me to the Holy Land for sacred Mikvehs. She led me to India, Africa, Japan, Indonesia, and Australia. Mexico, Portugal, and now to Paris, France. I am never alone; her presence surrounds me. I am chosen by Ha Shem to be a flower in her celestial garden. And joy flows like rain daily as I contemplate the Angelic salutation:” Hail Mary full of grace, Ha Elohim is with thee, blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, ישוע Yeshua”.
