  • The Holy See
    The Holy See POPE JOHN PAUL II GENERAL AUDIENCE Wednesday, 5 November 1997 We can count on Mary’s intercession 1. Down the centuries Marian devotion has enjoyed an interrupted development. In addition to the traditional liturgical feasts dedicated to the Lord’s Mother, there has been a flowering of countless expressions of piety, often approved and encouraged by the Church’s Magisterium. Many Marian devotions and prayers are an extension of the liturgy itself and have sometimes contributed to its overall enrichment, as is the case with the Office in honour of the Blessed Virgin and other pious compositions which have become part of the Breviary. The first known Marian invocation goes back to the third century and begins with the words: "We fly to thy patronage (Sub tuum praesidium), O holy Mother of God...". However, since the 14th century the most common prayer among Christians has been the "Hail Mary". By repeating the first words the angel addressed to Mary, it leads the faithful to contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation. The Latin word "Ave" translates the Greek word "Chaire": it is an invitation to joy and could be translated "Rejoice". The Eastern hymn "Akathistos" repeatedly stresses this "rejoice". In the "Hail Mary" the Blessed Virgin is called "full of grace" and is thus recognized for the perfection and beauty of her soul. The phrase "The Lord is with thee" reveals God’s special personal relationship with Mary, which fits into the great plan for his covenant with all humanity. Next, the statement "Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus" expresses the fulfilment of the divine plan in the Daughter of Zion’s virginal body.

  • The Pope's Words at the Regina Caeli Prayer
    N. 210523a Sunday 23.05.2021 The Pope’s words at the Regina Caeli prayer At midday today, Solemnity of Pentecost, the Holy Father Francis appeared at the window of his study in the Vatican Apostolic Palace to pray the Regina Caeli with the faithful and pilgrims present in Saint Peter’s Square. The following are the Pope’s words of introduction to the Marian prayer: Before the Regina Caeli Dear Brothers and Sisters, Buongiorno! The book of the Acts of the Apostles (cf. 2:1-11) recounts what happens in Jerusalem 50 days after the Pasch of Jesus. The disciples were gathered in the Upper Room, and the Virgin Mary was with them. The Risen Lord had told them to remain in the city until they received the gift of the Spirit from on High. And this was revealed with a “sound” they suddenly heard come from heaven, like the “rush of a mighty wind” that filled the house they were in (cf. v. 2). Thus, it concerns a real but also symbolic experience. Something that happened but also gives us a symbolic message for our whole life. This experience reveals that the Holy Spirit is like a strong and freely flowing wind; that is, he brings us strength and brings us freedom: a strong and freely flowing wind. He cannot be controlled, stopped, nor measured; nor can his direction be foreseen. He cannot be understood within our human exigencies – we always try to frame things – he does not let himself be framed in our methods and our preconceptions.

Peter Hopkins, LC Practical Talk: Jennifer Ristine, CRC Gospel Passage: John 2: 1-12 On the third day there was a wedding in Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. When the wine ran short, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” [And] Jesus said to her, “Woman, how does your concern affect me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servers, “Do whatever he tells you.” Now there were six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings, each holding twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told them, “Fill the jars with water.” So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.” So they took it. And when the headwaiter tasted the water that had become wine, without knowing where it came from (although the servers who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom and said to him, “Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.” Jesus did this as the beginning of his signs in Cana in Galilee and so revealed his glory, and his disciples began to believe in him.

Gambero: Patristic Intuitions Patristic Intuitions PATRISTIC INTUITIONS OF MARY'S ROLE AS MEDIATRIX AND ADVOCATE: THE INVOCATION OF THE FAITHFUL FOR HER HELP Luigi Gambero, S.M.* Faith in Mary's mediation is dependent upon the more gen­ eral doctrine on the role played by the Mother of God in the economy of salvation. The origins of this belief are in the earliest attempts of the Fathers of the Church and Christian writers to .reflect on the treasure of divine revelation. Mary's presence and mission were to be found in the context of the mystery of the Incarnate Word, to which she had a double relation: to the Word of God Himself (who became her Son and our Redeemer); and to us (being human like us, she shared our common lot as God's crea­ ture, called to communion with Him through grace and eternal life).

    Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Sub tuum praesidium January 1, 2018 (10:00am) Readings: Numbers 6: 22-27; Galatians 4: 4-7; Luke 2:16-21 Most Catholics do not instinctively look towards Egypt for inspiration, as we much more readily think of Bethlehem as the birthplace of our faith. And rightly so, for indeed it was. And yet the ancient roots of our Christian faith quickly reached to North Africa and as we begin a new calendar year, we do so under the protection of Mary, the Mother of God. ln the heart of Manchester, England, a city known more today for its 116-year-old championship soccer club than anything else, rests a papyrus fragment in the John Rylands Library. Little larger than an iPhone 6 Plus, it contains Greek letters written in brown ink. Dated to the mid-3rd century, it contains a prayer to the Blessed Mother, the oldest prayer to Mary in existence. The fragment was acquired in Egypt in 1917.1 It was there that the brief prayer to Mary was composed. We pray most fervently when we are in need, and like many prayers, it was born in time of difficulty due to Roman persecution. In the mid-third century, horrible persecutions were being unleashed all across the Roman Empire, and the monks of Egypt composed a hymn to the Blessed Mother begging for her protection. The Greek original came down to the Western Church in its Latin version, the Sub tuum praesidium. The prayer thus precedes the complete Ave Maria by several centuries in Christian prayer.
