MARIAN MEDIATION #5-1
MARY IMMACULATE
HER GREATNESS
MARY IMMACULATE
HER GREATNESS
We are dealing with a mystery. Therefore we cannot plumb the depths of it since we would be lost in its immensity. Nevertheless, it is sweet and consoling to ponder, as far as in us lies, over those reasons for which Mary had to be Immaculate.
1. The Queen of the Angels.
Mary was to rule over the very angels. They were to honor Her and rejoice with Her as Queen. How could then they have as Queen some one less pure and perfect than themselves? If She had, even for a fleeting moment, been a slave of sin, that is to say a slave of the other angels who had rebelled against God, could they have accepted Her? This is not possible. Our reason rises in protest against such an absurdity. We have to hold that Mary had to be pure, holy and Immaculate. [Excerpted from 'Marian Meditations' Book]
