Ave Maria!– May’s Theme: Mary Most Holy “Before Her departure, the Heart of Mary was divided between Her Divine Son in heaven and Her adopted ones on earth, namely the apostles. Tender Mother that She is, She would like to bless them before leaving the Earth. God, in order to render Her transitus completely blessed, wanted to satisfy Her desire: and in a short time the apostles, who were scattered throughout the various parts of the world preaching the Gospel, were brought by an invisible hand to the modest house of Mary.” |

Ave Maria!– May’s Theme: Mary Most Holy “Reflect upon and have always before your mind’s eye the great humility of the Mother of God and our Mother who, in the measure that the heavenly gifts increased in Her, immersed Herself ever more in humility, so much that She was able to sing from that moment when She was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit, making Her the Mother of the Son of God: ‘Behold the Handmaid of the Lord’. Our dearest Mother sang the same thing at St. Elizabeth’s house, even though She was bearing within Her chaste womb the Word made flesh.” |

Ave Maria!– May’s Theme: Mary Most Holy “St. Pier Damiani (St. Peter Damian) did not doubt to say that the Assumption of Mary into heaven was more glorious than the Ascension of Jesus Christ because, while for Him only the Angels came to meet Him, for Mary Most Holy not only the Angels, but the Saints and Jesus Christ Himself at the head of them all came to meet Her.” |

Ave Maria Meditations
Fr. Francis Fernandez writes about the seven gifts and their influence in the Christian life: “But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me.” Our Lord announces this news in the Gospel, and the liturgy of the Church invites us, in various ways, to get our souls ready for the action of the Holy Spirit. A resolute battle against every deliberate venial sin prepares us to receive the light and the protection of the Parac1ete, by means of his gifts. The light which is bestowed on our intellect makes us know and understand the things of God; the assistance to our will permits us to use successfully the opportunities for doing good which we encounter every day, and to reject the temptations of everything that would separate us from God. |
