Even in the most depraved executioner, a Marian fragment remains - A Moment with Mary

* May 31 - Visitation of the Virgin Mary  * Even in the most depraved executioner, a Marian fragment remains --- An initiative of the Association Mary of Nazareth  May 31 - Visitation of the Virgin Mary  Even in the most depraved executioner, a Marian fragment remains Q - Pope Francis said to the priests and religious of Naples on Saturday, March 21: "A priest, a monk, or a nun who does not love the Blessed Virgin, who does not pray the Holy Virgin—who does not pray the Rosary—if that person does not want the Mother, the Mother will not give him her Son." Can you explain this further? R - It reminds me of the dialogue written by Bernanos in the Diary of a Country Priest. The old priest wants to share with his young colleague his mission of facilitating the work of grace in people’s hearts. “Do you pray to the Virgin Mary? Not mechanically, without thinking about it… Do you want to believe that in our old world crushed by sin, evil, and violence, there is a pure source, so clear and pure that it could not even see its own reflection, made for the sheer joy of the Father?” ... Even in the most depraved executioner, there is still a small immaculate and Marian fragment. It is our job to discover it, to bring it out of the mud, to the surface. The Rosary helps us view the world with the confidence of a God who inspired the faith of Mary. "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you ..." Conversation with Father André Cabes, the future rector of the Shrine of Lourdes (beginning in October 2015) March 31, 2015 (Zenit.org) Let’s pray together  Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.   . Share A Moment with Mary and give your loved ones the opportunity to discover a new aspect of the mystery of the Mother of God each day.
