Ave Maria Meditations

Feast of the Holy Name of Mary: September 12th

On the 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…

And 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.

Our Lady found this unworthy lukewarm person and obtained for her the grace to enter the Third Order of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. May this person spend all eternity in showing her gratitude.
