Mary’s Virtuous Beauty and the Cross

Post by Denise »

Praying to Mary by invoking her various titles may disturb people accustomed to dismissing devotion to Mary as extra-Biblical. But John Henry Newman warns, “Throwing off devotion to her, countries cease to worship Christ.” (Meditations & Devotions) Mary’s virtuous beauty radiates throughout the Gospels.

Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

interestingly scripture itself tells us that when they had run out of wine at the wedding
and Mary approached Jesus, and he responded that the time wasn't right to perform miracles
etc, her intercession resulted in the turning of water into wine.
"He who followeth Me, walketh not in darkness." sayeth the Lord
