O Lady of the Angels, Mother of all the faithful!!!
January 28, 2025
St. Thomas Aquinas
Dear Family of Mary!
Our Lady longs to intercede for us! She is always
ready to be our advocate before the Father because she loves us so much.
This message is an example of her care for us:
June
19, 1986 "Dear children! During these days my Lord is allowing me to be
able to intercede more graces for you. Therefore, I wish to urge you
once more to pray, dear children! Pray without ceasing! That way I will
give you the joy which the Lord gives to me. With these graces, dear
children, I want your sufferings to be a joy. I am your Mother and I
desire to help you. Thank you for having responded to my call."
Isn't this message most sweet and loving!! Oh how she loves us!!!
St. Thomas Aquinas, whose feast day is today, had a
deep devotion to Our Lady. Though he was so brilliant, he never forgot
his need of the Mother's care. He wrote this beautiful prayer to Our
Lady. Let's ask him, today on his feast day, to pray with us to Our
Lady, that we might stay faithful to her call and help her in her
mission in these days!
A PRAYER TO THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY BY ST. THOMAS AQUINAS
Most blessed and
sweet Virgin Mary, Mother of God, filled with all tenderness, daughter
of the most high King, Lady of the angels, mother of all the faithful:
On this day and all the days of my life, I entrust to your merciful
heart my body and my soul, all my actions, thoughts, decisions, desires,
words, deeds, my entire life and death, so that, with your assistance,
everything may be ordered to the good according to the will of your
beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. From your beloved Son, beg for me
the grace firmly to resist the temptations of the world, the flesh, and
the Devil.
My most holy Lady,
I also beg you to obtain for me true obedience and humility of heart so
that I may see myself truly as a sinner, miserable and weak and
powerless, without the grace and assistance of my Creator and without
your holy prayers. Obtain for me as well, most sweet Lady, true charity,
so that from the depths of my heart I may love your most holy Son, our
Lord Jesus Christ and, after him, love you above all others. Grant,
Queen of Heaven, that always in my heart I may both fear and love your
most sweet Son.
I pray also that,
at the end of my life, Mother beyond compare, gate of heaven and
advocate of sinners, you will protect me with your great piety and
mercy, and obtain for me, through the blessed and glorious passion of
your Son, and through your own intercession, the forgiveness of all my
sins, which I hope to receive. When I die in your love and his love,
guide me in the way of salvation and blessedness.
- St. Thomas Aquinas
(This prayer is found in A Year with the Saints: Daily Meditations with the Holy Ones of God.)
