Evening Meditations for the Twenty-fourth Monday After Pentecost~ St Alphonsus Liguori

We should have recourse to the Divine Mother with the greatest confidence. Why did Jesus Christ deposit in the hands of His Mother all the riches of Mercy that He intends for us, unless it was that Mary might therewith enrich all her clients who love and honour her and have recourse to her with confidence. With me are riches … that I may enrich them that love me (Prov. viii. 18, 21). Thus the Blessed Virgin herself assures us that it is so, in this passage which the Holy Church applies to her on so many of her Festivals.

Spiritual Reading for Monday – Twenty-fourth Week After Pentecost

St. Anselm speaks of the life of the Blessed Virgin in the Temple, and says that “Mary was docile, spoke little, was always composed, did not laugh,” and that her mind was never disturbed. She also persevered in prayer, in the study of the Sacred Scriptures, in fastings, and all virtuous works.

Morning Meditation for Monday – Twenty-fourth Week after Pentecost ~ St Alphonsus Liguori

Mary offered herself to God promptly and entirely, for she well understood the voice of God calling her to devote herself as a perpetual victim in His honour. Arise! Make haste, my love, my dove, my beautiful one and come! (Cant. ii. 10). Let us this day present ourselves to Mary without delay and without reserve, and let us entreat her who was the delight of her God to offer us to her Divine Son, Jesus Christ.
