The Blessed Virgin Mary’s prayers are so great in the eyes of God that they are always infallibly heard. Her merits are so great before God that her petitions cannot be rejected! Her prayers are so very powerful before God because she is His mother. The Blessed Virgin Mary’s prayers are in essence a command. It is therefore impossible that they are not always heard. Mary’s intercession is all powerful. Let us turn to Mary in our prayers and beg that she pray for us.

The Blessed Virgin Mary infinitely surpasses the angels in grace, merits, and dignity, and in all other perfections! How is it then possible not to love Mary? The world without Mary’s prayers would long ago have ceased to be. The graces we receive from heaven come though her hands. If God had treated us as we deserved after all our sins, we would long ago have been burning in hell. How many countless souls has Mary saved from the fires of hell?! We must really thank the Blessed Virgin Mary for our salvation because she throws herself at the feet of Jesus Christ and asks Him to give sinners more time in order that they may amend their lives.

Mary points out to the Father all that her Son did and suffered for mankind in order to avert His wrath. She reminds her Son of everything that she suffered during her life for His sake. We can only imagine the affection of this holy mother. How can there be people who despise her? How can people ridicule those who are devoted to her?

In Christ,

Fr. Jeff Fasching
