Every day, praying the Angelus gives us the opportunity to meditate for a few moments, in the midst of all our activities, on the mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God. At noon, when the first hours of the day are already beginning to weigh us down with fatigue, our availability and our generosity are renewed by the contemplation of Mary’s “yes”. This clear and unreserved “yes” is rooted in the mystery of Mary’s freedom, a total and entire freedom before God, completely separated from any complicity with sin, thanks to the privilege of Her .

This privilege given to Mary, which sets Her apart from our common condition, does not distance Her from us, but on the contrary, it brings Her closer. While sin divides, separating us from one another, Mary’s purity makes Her infinitely close to our hearts, attentive to each of us and desirous of our true good. You see it here in Lourdes, as in all Marian shrines; immense crowds come thronging to Mary’s feet to entrust to Her their most intimate thoughts, their most heartfelt wishes. That which many, either because of embarrassment or modesty, do not confide to their nearest and dearest, they confide to Her who is all pure, to Her Immaculate Heart: with simplicity, without frills, in truth. Before Mary, by virtue of Her very purity, man does not hesitate to reveal his weakness, to express his questions and his doubts, to formulate his most secret hopes and desires. The Virgin Mary’s maternal love disarms all pride; it renders man capable of seeing himself as he is, and it inspires in him the desire to be converted so as to give glory to God.

Thus, Mary shows us the right way to come to the Lord. She teaches us to approach Him in truth and simplicity. Thanks to Her, we discover that the Christian faith is not a burden: it is like a wing which enables us to fly higher, so as to take refuge in God’s embrace.

The life and faith of believers make it clear that the grace of the Immaculate Conception given to Mary is not merely a personal grace, but a grace for all, a grace given to the entire people of God. In Mary, the Church can already contemplate what She is called to become. Every believer can contemplate, here and now, the perfect fulfilment of his or her own vocation.

May each of you always remain full of thanksgiving for what the Lord has chosen to reveal of His plan of salvation through the mystery of Mary: a mystery in which we are involved most intimately since, from the height of the Cross which we celebrate and exalt today, it is revealed to us through the words of Jesus Himself that His Mother is our Mother. Inasmuch as we are sons and daughters of Mary, we can profit from all the graces given to Her; the incomparable dignity that came to Her through Her Immaculate Conception shines brightly over us, Her children. Pope Benedict XVI, Papal Angelus from Lourdes, September 14, 2008 Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the Power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Sub Tuum Praesidium We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God, despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Amen. Prayer
