hyperdulia again Posted November 16, 2003 Share Posted November 16, 2003 Mary *sigh* :wub: Mary, Queen of Our Hearts, we exalt thee. (In the middle ages people used to say this hundreds of times and genuflect each time on her name.) I am completely in love with this woman. :wub: Mary :wub: That's all.

Good Friday Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Mary, most powerful Virgin, You are the mighty and glorious Protector of the Church. You are the marvelous Help of Christians. You are awe-inspiring as an army in battle array. You have destroyed heresy in the world. In the midst of our anguish, our struggle and distress defend us from the power of the enemy, and at the hour of our death receive our soul into heaven. - Prayer to Mary Help of Christians, St. John Bosco "Mary is beautiful in herself as the moon, radiates her brilliance as the sun; but against "the enemy" she is formidable; terrible as an army arrayed for war. As we rejoice and exalt her today, God knows how we would like to forget the difficulties of the times in which we live . . . There is the "enemy" even at the very doors of the Church, threatening souls. And behold, another aspect of Mary: her power in combat . . . Mary, sinless, has crushed the head of the corrupting serpent. When Mary approaches, the demon flees -- just as darkness dissipates when the sun rises. When Mary is present, Satan is absent; where the sun shines, there is no darkness." - Pope Pius XII "The modern woman will note with pleasant surprise that Mary of Nazareth, while completely devoted to the will of God, was far from being a timidly submissive woman or one whose piety was repellent to others; on the contrary, she was a woman who did not hesitate to proclaim that God vindicates the humble and the oppressed, and removes the powerful people of the world from their privileged positions." - Marialis Cultus #37, Pope Paul VI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Friday Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Don't thank me. All credit goes to Pope Paul VI, Pope Pius XII, and St. John Bosco. I only posted the quotes. On the other hand, I have no doubt that all three would say: "Don't thank me. All credit goes to God. I only picked up the pen. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lounge Daddy Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Ya, ya. Thank the Spirit that guided the pen. The Holy Spirit would naturally praise the Blessed Virgin… :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good Friday Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Ya, ya. Thank the Spirit that guided the pen. The Holy Spirit would naturally praise the Blessed Virgin… Yup. Humility is a great thing, and God has it more than any human being (why else would He become man and die on a Cross?). Unfortunately, humility can also mean a lot of saying: "No no, thank YOU." It reminds me of those chipmunks on that one cartoon when I was a kid. I don't know if anyone remembers them, they were either chipmunks or squirrels, and they were really polite. I think they were on Looney Tunes sometimes. They'd stand there and say: "Thank you." "No no, thank YOU." "Noooo, thank YOOOOOU." Now I realize that the chipmunks must have been Catholic.

emalouhow Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 What a beautiful thread!! Hyper, thank you so much for starting it, and everyone else thank you for your contributions. I'm sure our Blessed Mother is smiling down on you all right now!!! :D Let us remember to beg Mary each day to help us recognize the mystery of the Incarnation in our presence, to recognize the Word Made Flesh in our midst. And let us thank her for saying "Yes" b/c our yes is only possible because of hers. The Angelus The Angel of the Lord dcclared unto Mary and she conceived by the the Holy Spirit Hail Mary.... Behold the handmaid of the Lord Be it done unto me according to your word Hail Mary.... And the Word was made flesh And dwells among us. Hail Mary.... Pray for us O Holy Mother of God That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray, Pour forth, we beseech you O Lord, your grace into our hearts that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an angel, may by His passion and cross be brought to the glory of His resurrection throught the same Christ our Lord. Amen Veni Sancte Spiritus Veni per Mariam (Come Holy Spirit; Come through Mary) Mary, Cause of our Joy, Pray for us :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
