Ave Maria Mediations encore
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.
by Blessed Alan de la Roche
