September 12, 2024 Reflection – The Most Holy Name of Mary

The Most Holy Name of Mary   September 12, 2024 The Most Holy Name of Mary Dear Family of Mary! Today is a very special holy day!! The Most Holy Name of Mary!! (Optional Memorial) But it is not optional for us!! The Most Holy Name of Mary is an incredible gift that has been given to us for our protection, our healing, our guidance, and our sanctification. All salvation history turned on the Name of Mary, spoken by the Angel Gabriel. Here is an explanation from the Magnificat, September, ’24 page 155: Saint Louis de Montfort wrote that “The salvation of each individual is bound up with the Hail Mary.” Why? Because it was when the Archangel greeted Mary that our Savior became flesh in her womb. To be Christian is to carry on that Annunciation by repeating the Hail Mary. This prayer, which speaks the Holy Name of the Mother of God, “Brought to a dry and barren world the Fruit of Life. It will cause the Word of God to take root in the soul and bring forth Jesus.” The Holy Name of Mary bears such power because of the unique bond between Mother and Son. “When God sent his Son born of a woman, He instituted a once-and-for-all order of salvation in which the union of Mother and Child stands at the center” (Fr. Romanus Cessario, O.P.). To accept the privilege of speaking the Name of Mary is to participate in that saving union. We are in a spiritual battle in our day which has never been seen in history. The entire world is engulfed in a struggle. It is a struggle that the enemy of our souls has designed to take as many souls as possible into hell with him. And into this battle, the Father has sent Our Lady, Mary! She is with us now continually in Medjugorje, and in our hearts all over the world. We must call upon Her, speak Her Name in our hearts and minds, in our prayers and even our conversations, so that we are surrounded by Her Name! Today, let’s pray this powerful Litany of the Holy Name of Mary! May we be strengthened, delivered, and enlightened by our Mother’s Name! Mary!!!!
