[MaryVitamin] Holy Name of Mary

Mary Vitamin for September 12^th

Topic: Holy Name of Mary

Quote:

St. Germanus

[A]s breathing is a sign of life, so also is the frequent pronunciation of the name of Mary a sign either of the life of divine grace, or that is will soon come; for this powerful name has in it the virtue of obtaining help and life for him who invokes it devoutly.

St. Alphonsus di Liguori, The Glories of Mary, (Tan Books), 239.

Meditation:

St. Alphonsus di Liguori begins his meditation on the holy name of Mary with

"Thy name is as oil poured out." Canticles 1:2.

He continues "on these words blessed Alan says, 'that the glory of her name is compared to oil poured out; because oil heals the sick, sends out a sweet odour, and nourishes flames.' Thus also does the name

of Mary heal sinners, rejoice hearts, and inflame them with divine love."

St. Alphonsus di Liguori, The Glories of Mary, (Tan Books), 238.

Resolution:

I will remember the words of St. Germanus who reminds us that the frequent calling upon the name of Mary is a sign of a healthy spiritual life. When I can say no other prayer today, I will remember to say the name of Mary.

Marian Vow:

St. Louis de Montfort

Both Saint Bernard and Saint Bonaventure say that the Queen of Heaven is certainly no less grateful and conscientious than gracious and well-mannered people of this world. Just as she excels in all other perfections, she surpasses us all in the virtue of gratitude; so she would never let us honor her with love and respect without repaying us one hundredfold. Saint Bonaventure says that Mary will greet us with grace if we greet her with the Hail Mary.

The Secret of the Rosary, the Eighteenth Rose

I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Thanks be to God for graces received.

Quotes from 'The Glories of Mary':

‘I will put enmities between thee and the woman, and thy seed and her seed: she shall crush thy head.’

(Gen. 3:15)

“Since the devil is the head of original sin, this head it was that Mary crushed: for sin never had any entry into the soul of this Blessed Virgin, which was consequently free from all stain.”

Saint Augustine

PSALM 71 SPEAKS TO MY HEART

Forsake Me Not When My Strength Is Spent

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge;
let me never be put to shame!
In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
incline your ear to me, and save me!

Be to me a rock of refuge,
to which I may continually come;
you have given the command to save me,
for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
For you, O Lord, are my hope,
my trust, O Lord, from my youth.
Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
you are he who took me from my mother's womb.
My praise is continually of you.

I have been as a portent to many,
but you are my strong refuge.
My mouth is filled with your praise,
and with your glory all the day.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age;
forsake me not when my strength is spent.

For my enemies speak concerning me;
those who watch for my life consult together
and say, “God has forsaken him;
pursue and seize him,
for there is none to deliver him.”

O God, be not far from me;
O my God, make haste to help me!
May my accusers be put to shame and consumed;
with scorn and disgrace may they be covered
who seek my hurt.

But I will hope continually
and will praise you yet more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteous acts,
of your deeds of salvation all the day,
for their number is past my knowledge.

With the mighty deeds of the Lord God I will come;
I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone.

O God, from my youth you have taught me,
and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.

So even to old age and gray hairs,
O God, do not forsake me,
until I proclaim your might to another generation,
your power to all those to come.
Your righteousness, O God,
reaches the high heavens.
You who have done great things,
O God, who is like you?

You who have made me see many troubles and calamities
will revive me again;
from the depths of the earth
you will bring me up again.
You will increase my greatness
and comfort me again.

I will also praise you with the harp
for your faithfulness, O my God;
I will sing praises to you with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.
My lips will shout for joy,
when I sing praises to you;
my soul also, which you have redeemed.

And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long,
for they have been put to shame and disappointed
who sought to do me hurt.
