Land O'Lakesian scholar blasts Blessed Mother

Ho-hum.  Interesting as theological pathology.

Saintly Thought for Today

                                              Our Lady of Fatima


From St. Louis de Montfort's "True Devotion to Mary:"

Mary must come forth more than ever in mercy, in might and in grace, in these latter times: in mercy, to bring back and lovingly receive the poor strayed sinners who shall be converted and shall return to the Catholic Church; in might, against the enemies of God, idolaters, schismatics, Mahometans, Jews and souls hardened in impiety, who shall rise in terrible revolt against God to seduce all those who shall oppose them and to make them fall by promises and threats; and finally, she must shine forth in grace, in order to animate and sustain the valiant soldiers and faithful servants of Jesus Christ, who shall battle for His interests.

Interesting observations concerning young people, Blessed Pope John Paul II, the Blessed Virgin, and, of course, Satan. 

"The Blessed Virgin compared to the Air we Breathe"

“Virgin and Child with Saints Agnes and Martina,” by El Greco

From Gerard Manley Hopkins, SJ's poem:

I say that we are wound

With mercy round and round

As if with air: the same

Is Mary, more by name.

She, wild web, wondrous robe,

Mantles the guilty globe,

Since God has let dispense

Her prayers his providence

Nay, more than almoner,

The sweet alms’ self is her

And men are meant to share

Her life as life does air.
