What does it mean to live as a ‘Princess’? 👑
Doesn’t it remind you of Genovia and the movie “Princess Diaries”? 😂 A ‘Princess’ must know how to stand, sit and walk, and speak, and dress up, do her makeup, her hair, have her shoulders back waving a certain way. You know how it goes! Phew, the list goes on!
I dreamt of ball gowns 👗 and tiaras 👑 as a child but the word ‘Princess’ has me thinking differently the past week…
“Blessed be your purity,
may it be blessed for ever,
For no less than God takes delight,
In such exalted beauty.
To you, heavenly Princess…”
This is the first and only prayer I’ve ever seen addressing Our Lady as “heavenly Princess” 🥹
It made my heart flutter and led me to think of the beautiful relationship she had with the Father. In this ancient song, she was “Daddy’s Little Girl”, the apple of His eye, the object of His pure love and affection 🥹🩵
Here she wasn’t the “Queen of Heaven & Earth”,
not the woman who slays the devil day & night,
but a child who receives the delight of His Papa;
and in this, she is made whole 👑
✨ Friends, do we go about our lives as Princesses or as slaves? ✨
Does our identity rest on being Daddy’s Little Girls or do we fight to do everything ourselves?
Do we relate with others knowing that we are unconditionally & eternally loved?
Do we radiate with joy like children or grumble in resentment?
💌 Our Dear Mama, the “Heavenly Princess”, bring us to know and receive the love of the Father so that we, too, can live in childlike peace & joy 💌
