By this participation in the sufferings and feelings of Jesus, Mary merited to share in the Redemption of fallen humanity and consequently to become the Almoner of all the treasures that Jesus amassed for us by His bloody Death.

Pope St. Pius X

 
We venerate also the holy image of Our Lady, the truly most pure Mother of God, whose face, as it is written, will entreat all the rich among the people, with their prayers.

Pope St. Gregory II

222. If you live this devotion sincerely, you will give more glory to Jesus in a month than in many years of a more demanding devotion.

For this alone it will be worth all the effort we put into practicing this devotion.

And a help for us to attain ours as well. Thank you Brigid.  Little Angel

I have heard of Eucharistic Adoration, Holy Communion, and devotion to Our Lady as the short ways. Cheesy



And to add one more from St Alphonsus,    Meditaion on the Passion of our Lord.  Smiley

This devotion is a safe means of going to Jesus Christ, because it is Mary's role to lead us safely to her Son.

O how close we must remain to Our Blessed Lady.
I attribute every act of repentance I've ever done to Her intercession and intervention.

Hail O Queen of heaven and earth and Mother of us all.  harp angel bell

26th Day


From True Devotion To the Blessed Virgin Mary, Nos. 12-38

"If you wish to understand the Mother," says a saint, "then understand the Son. She is a worthy Mother of God." Hic taceat omnis lingua : Here let every tongue be silent. My heart has dictated with special joy all that I have written to show that Mary has been unknown up till now, and that that is one of the reasons why Jesus Christ is not known as he should be. If then, as is certain, the knowledge and the kingdom of Jesus Christ must come into the world, it can only be as a necessary consequence of the knowledge and reign of Mary. She who first gave him to the world will establish his kingdom in the world.

With the whole Church I acknowledge that Mary, being a mere creature fashioned by the hands of God is, compared to his infinite majesty, less than an atom, or rather is simply nothing, since he alone can say, "I am he who is". Consequently, this great Lord, who is ever independent and self-sufficient, never had and does not now have any absolute need of the Blessed Virgin for the accomplishment of his will and the manifestation of his glory. To do all things he has only to will them. However, I declare that, considering things as they are, because God has decided to begin and accomplish his greatest works through the Blessed Virgin ever since he created her, we can safely believe that he will not change his plan in the time to come, for he is God and therefore does not change in his thoughts or his way of acting.

Mary is the Queen of heaven and earth by grace as Jesus is king by nature and by conquest. But as the kingdom of Jesus Christ exists primarily in the heart or interior of man, according to the words of the Gospel, "The kingdom of God is within you", so the kingdom of the Blessed Virgin is principally in the interior of man, that is, in his soul. It is principally in souls that she is glorified with her Son more than in any visible creature. So we may call her, as the saints do, Queen of our hearts.

It is quite true that we can attain to divine union by other roads, but these involve many more crosses and exceptional setbacks and many difficulties that we cannot easily overcome. (b) This devotion is a short way to discover Jesus, either because it is a road we do not wander from, or because, as we have just said, we walk along this road with greater ease and joy, and consequently with greater speed. We advance more in a brief period of submission to Mary and dependence on her than in whole years of self-will and self-reliance
.

Although this devotion to the Blessed Virgin (or St. Therese "Little Way") is less difficult in some ways, in order to reach that devotion and escape much of Purgatory and become simple along with having complete humility with total confidence in Him, we do need to do much of what the Saints of old - even the desert fathers - did.

27th Day


For this Week: Knowledge Of Jesus Christ

During this period we shall apply ourselves to the study of Jesus Christ. What is to be studied in Christ? First the God-Man, His grace and glory; then His rights to sovereign dominion over us; since, after having renounced Satan and the world, we have taken Jesus Christ for our Lord. What next shall be the object of our study? His exterior actions and also His interior life; namely, the virtues and acts of His Sacred Heart; His association with Mary in the mysteries of the Annunciation and Incarnation, during His infancy and hidden life, at the feast of Cana and on Calvary.


From True Devotion To the Blessed Virgin Mary, Nos. 61-62

61. Jesus, our Saviour, true God and true man must be the ultimate end of all our other devotions; otherwise they would be false and misleading. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and end of everything. "We labour," says St. Paul, "only to make all men perfect in Jesus Christ." For in him alone dwells the entire fullness of the divinity and the complete fullness of grace, virtue and perfection. In him alone we have been blessed with every spiritual blessing; he is the only teacher from whom we must learn; the only Lord on whom we should depend; the only Head to whom we should be united and the only model that we should imitate. He is the only Physician that can heal us; the only Shepherd that can feed us; the only Way that can lead us; the only Truth that we can believe; the only Life that can animate us. He alone is everything to us and he alone can satisfy all our desires. We are given no other name under heaven by which we can be saved. God has laid no other foundation for our salvation, perfection and glory than Jesus. Every edifice which is not built on that firm rock, is founded upon shifting sands and will certainly fall sooner or later. Through him, with him and in him, we can do all things and render all honour and glory to the Father in the unity of the Holy Spirit; we can make ourselves perfect and be for our neighbour a fragrance of eternal life.

62. If then we are establishing sound devotion to our Blessed Lady, it is only in order to establish devotion to our Lord more perfectly, by providing a smooth but certain way of reaching Jesus Christ. If devotion to our Lady distracted us from our Lord, we would have to reject it as an illusion of the devil. But this is far from being the case. As I have already shown and will show again later on, this devotion is necessary, simply and solely because it is a way of reaching Jesus perfectly, loving him tenderly, and serving him faithfully.

You're so right. Obedience was a definite hallmark of Mary's and something our Church allows us to practice.


Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen

Gloria Patri, et Filio: et Spiritui Sancto; Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper: et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
