Mary Most Holy in the Liturgy (Part 3)



                                                           "Tree of Jesse," Medieval French Bible

Rorate Caeli has another installment of Bl. Giacomo Alberione's "The Feasts of Mary."

A sample:

Mary is invoked under so many titles because she was granted power over all things. The sinner calls Mary Refugium peccatorum, because he expects from her the graces of penance and forgiveness; the sick calls her Salus infirmorum, because how knows that Mary has the power to heal him; the Priest calls her Mother of the Divine Shepherd; the poor, Mother of Providence; while for other needs there are the Virgin of Perpetual Succour, the Patronage of Mary, the Help of Christians, the Comforter, the Seat of wisdom, etc.

Our Lady of Sorrows, pray for us.
