Ave Maria Meditations! The Feast of the Nativity of Mary, September 8th
(Hail Mary, the Angelic Salutation)
Whenever I say Hail Mary, the court of heaven rejoices and the earth is lost in wonderment…
And I despise the world; my heart is brim full of the love of God.
When I say Hail Mary: All my fears wilt and die and my passions are quelled.
If I say Hail Mary: Devotion grows within me and sorrow for sin awakens.
When I say Hail Mary, hope is made strong in my breast and the dew of consolation falls on my soul more and more…
Because I say Hail Mary. and my spirit rejoices and sorrow fades away…when I say Hail Mary.
by Blessed Alan de la Roche
