WHO IS MARY, THE VIRGIN MOST PURE?

She is Virgin and Mother, what will she not be hereafter? Holy in body, all beautiful in soul, pure of mind, upright in intelligence, perfect in feeling, chaste and faithful, pure of heart and filled with virtue.

May the hearts of virgins rejoice in Mary, since of her was born the One Who set humankind free from dreadful slavery. May the old Adam, wounded by the serpent, rejoice in Mary; it is Mary who gives Adam a posterity which allows Him to crush the accursed serpent and Who cures him of his mortal wound (Gen 3:15). Let Priests rejoice in the blessed Virgin; she has brought the High Priest into the world, Who gave Himself as a Victim, putting an end to the sacrifices of the Old Covenant. … Let the Prophets rejoice in Mary, since in her were fulfilled their visions, in her were realised their prophecies, in her were confirmed their oracles. Let all the Patriarchs rejoice in Mary, since she received the blessing promised to them, she, who, in her Son, has brought them to completion. …

Mary is the new tree of life who, instead of the bitter fruit picked by Eve, gives to mankind that sweet fruit on which the whole world is fed!” – St Ephrem (306-373) Deacon in Syria, Father and Doctor of the Church (Marian Hymn).

OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE

MARY'S GARMENT

OUR LADY OF GRACE

Nostra Signora delle Grazie

A vintage holy card of the miraculous statue of Our Lady of Grace in Nettuno, Italy.

The statue in Nettuno is believed to originate from Ipswich in England, which before the Reformation was an important shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Graces. According to one account, the image was brought to Italy by sailors, who had smuggled it onto a ship just before it was meant to be publicly burned in London by Protestant iconoclasts.

PRAY TO HER. SHE IS OUR MOTHER READY TO SHOWER HER GRACES THE MOMENT WE CALL HER

IN HONOUR OF MARY THE MOTHER OF GOD

O Mary, Mary, temple of the Trinity. O Mary, bearer of fire. O Mary, dispenser of mercy. O Mary, restorer of human generation, because the world was repurchased by means of the sustenance that your flesh found in the Word. Christ repurchased the world with His Passion, and you with your suffering of mind and body.
O Mary, peaceful ocean. O Mary, giver of peace. O Mary, fruitful land. You, O Mary, are that new plant from which we have the fragrant flower of the Word, Only-begotten Son of God, because this Word was sown in you, O fruitful land. You are the land and the plant.
Today I ardently make my request, because it is the day of graces and I know that nothing is refused to you, O Mary. Today, O Mary, your land has generated the Saviour for us. O Mary, blessed are you among women throughout the ages! Amen

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE

HOLY MARY

PLEASE GUIDE US THROUGH OUR LIFE TO ARRIVE IN HEAVEN TO WHERE WE ARE DESTINED BY GOD'S WILL

Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us

 who have recourse to thee!

CALL YOUR MOTHER

OUR MOTHER

Mary alone was protected from the very beginning by God’s love and so came into this world as a masterpiece of grace. God did not want the temple in which He was to dwell to be soiled in any way. The Son’s honor required that His Mother not be even for a single moment the slave of Satan. -

HOLY MARY CONCEIVED WITHOUT SIN, PRAY FOR US

THE LADY WHO UNTIES THE KNOTS

I love the title of “Our Lady Undoer of Knots.” Because when you’re a little kid, who do you bring your knotted yo-yo or shoelace or necklace to? Your mother. And while we may not all be little kids anymore and we may not have to deal with knotted yo-yos or shoelaces or necklaces, we still have all sorts of knots in our lives. 

Like little children, we bring our knots to our Mother, Mary. She undoes them, and helps her beloved children, like any good mother would. 

WHAT LOVE WILL DO
