TODAY IN THE TRADITIONAL LATIN RITE
IT IS
THE FEAST OF
THE MOST HOLY NAME OF MARY
Thou art blessed and venerable, O Virgin Mary: who without prejudice to purity were found the Mother of our Saviour.
O Virgin Mother of God, he whom the whole world cannot contain, confined himself in thy womb when he was made man.
Alleluia, alleluia.
After childbirth thou didst remain a pure virgin: O Mother of God, intercede for us.
Alleluia.
After childbirth thou didst remain a pure virgin: O Mother of God, intercede for us.
Alleluia.
St. Bridget heard our Lord promise His Holy Mother three wonderful graces to those who have devotion to the Holy Name of Mary. Our Lord said: whoever invokes the name of Mary with confidence and intention of amendment, will receive these special graces: first, that He would grant them perfect sorrow for their sins; secondly, that their crimes should be atoned for; and, thirdly, that He would give them strength to attain perfection, and at length the glory of paradise. Because, added the Our Holy Redeemer, your words are so dear and sweet to me, oh Mary, that I cannot deny whatever you request from me.
