Our Lady of Fatima

MAY 13TH: OUR LADY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT/

OUR LADY OF FATIMA

Mother of the Eucharist

OUR LADY OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT

This title was given to our Blessed Mother in May 1868 by Saint Peter Julian Eymard to honor her in her relationship to the Holy Eucharist and to place her before us as a model in our duties and devotion to the Blessed Sacrament. Our Lady gives witness to being Christian. In her conduct toward the Blessed Sacrament, we learn what ours should be!

She Will Crush Your Head…

Sunday, May 10th, 2009
Ave Maria Meditations

Crusher

O Immaculata, Queen of Heaven and earth,

refuge of sinners and our most loving Mother,

God has willed to entrust the entire order of mercy to you.

I, (name), a repentant sinner, cast myself at your feet,

humbly imploring you to take me with all that I am and have,

wholly to yourself as your possession and property.

Please make of me, of all my powers of soul and body,

of my whole life, death and eternity, whatever most pleases you.

If it pleases you, use all that I am and have without reserve,

wholly to accomplish what was said of you: “She will crush your head,”

and “You alone have destroyed all heresies in the whole world. ”

A Gift from the Father: The Motherly Heart of Mary

Friday, May 8th, 2009
Ave Maria Meditations

The Father’s Perfection: the Blessed Mother

blessed mother

The divine Heart of Jesus, which burns with love for us who are guilty, finds in this regard a means worthy of the divine wisdom. He gives us his own dearly beloved Mother, Mary, as our mother and protector. She is the saintly creature among all saints and angels, to whom he refuses nothing, since she is the worthi­est and most loved of all mothers. Besides, he has given her a very large heart, which enables her to notice even the smallest of tears and work for the sal­vation and sanctification of every single human being. She is the bridge that leads us to the most Holy Heart of Jesus.

Thoughts on Our Lady from St. Faustina

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Ave Maria Meditations

Our Lady of Divine mercy

O Mary, Immaculate Virgin, Pure crystal for my heart,

You are my strength, O sturdy anchor!

You are the weak heart’s shield and protection.
O Mary you are pure, of purity incomparable;

At once both Virgin and Mother,

You are beautiful as the sun, without blemish,

And Your soul is beyond all comparison.
Your beauty has delighted the eye of the Thrice – Holy – One.
He descended from heaven, leaving His eternal throne,

And took Body and Blood of Your heart,

And for nine months lay hidden in a Virgin’s heart.
O Mother, Virgin, purest of all lilies,

Your heart was Jesus’ first tabernacle on earth.

Only because no humility was deeper than yours.

Were You raised above the choirs of Angels and above all Saints.
O Mary, my sweet Mother,

I give you my soul, my body and my poor heart.

Be guardian to my life, Especially at the hour of death, in the final strife.

St. Faustina

Our Duties to Our Blessed Mother

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
Ave Maria Meditations
+

After having fulfilled our obligations toward the Son of God, we have three duties to his holy Mother:

+

The first is to prostrate ourselves in heart and in spirit at her feet asking her pardon for the cruel death of her Son, and for the most bitter sufferings of her pure heart which we have caused. In reparation, we must offer her all the honor, glory, and praise which have been, are, and will be forever rendered to her in heaven as well as on earth by the Most Holy Trinity, by the sacred humanity of her Son, by all the angels, and all the saints. We must also give ourselves to our Lady as her slaves, promising that we wish to serve and honor her all our lives in every way possible to us.
