Ave Maria Meditations

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

DIVINE MERCY NOVENA begins on Good Friday

The Divine Mercy Novena

Divine Mercy Devotionals at EWTN

Jesus asked that the Feast of the Divine Mercy be preceded by a Novena to the Divine Mercy which would begin on Good Friday. He gave St. Faustina an intention to pray for on each day of the Novena, saving for the last day the most difficult intention of all, the lukewarm and indifferent of whom He said:

“These souls cause Me more suffering than any others; it was from such souls that My soul felt the most revulsion in the Garden of Olives. It was on their account that I said: ‘My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by.’ The last hope of salvation for them is to flee to My Mercy.”

In her diary, St. Faustina wrote that Jesus told her:

“On each day of the novena you will bring to My heart a different group of souls and you will immerse them in this ocean of My mercy … On each day you will beg My Father, on the strength of My passion, for the graces for these souls.”

The different souls prayed for on each day of the novena are:

Ave Maria!– May’s Theme: Mary Mediatrix

“Divine grace is a gift of the divine mercy and, according to St. Bernard, God entrusted the entire order of grace to His Most Holy Mother, the Immaculate. She, in fact, is not capable of abandoning anyone, because it has never be heard that anyone, after having had recourse to Her, has been abandoned.” (cf. SK #1088)
