Ave Maria!

In today’s episode of Standing Fast, Fr. Angelo explains how the book of Genesis contains the ‘First Gospel’ which gives us a first look at the constant war against Satan. St. Maximilian Kolbe understood that Our Lady was the answer to winning the battle, and that she would indeed crush the head of the serpent.

Ave Maria!

Short Series #21 – Msgr. Calkins on Our Lady of All Nations, the Bible and Marian Coredemption ( 53min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Msgr. Arthur Burton Calkins (bio) an internationally renowned Marian Theologian and an official of the Pontifical Commission Ecclesia Dei gave a talk titled “Our Lady of All Nations, the Woman of Genesis and the Apocalypse” at our Amsterdam Coredemption Conference on May 31, 2008. In this excellent, scholarly talk Msgr. Calkins connects the Marian apparition on Our Lady of All Nations and many other approved apparitions with that of the woman of the proto-evangelicum in Genesis and of the Apocalypse and so connects a wide spread of Marian private revelation with the entirety of Biblical Revelation all in support of the Coredemption.

The sound is a little poor at first but it improves after the first few minutes so please bear with us.

Ave Maria!

Mary Vitamin for August 5th

Topic: The Woman of the Bible and Our Mother

Quote:

Father Stefano Manelli, FI, All Generations Shall Call Me Blessed, (Academy of the Immaculate: 1989), 356.

Meditation:

Fr. Stefano Manelli, FI

On this subject, a passage interesting and rich in insight, accurate as it is delicate, has been written by I. de La Potterie:

A very important insight of modern exegesis has brought to light how the mystery of Mary in some way forms a synthesis of all of the preceding revelation about the people of God, about all that which God, through his salvific action, wishes to realize for his people. In Mary are accomplished all of the important aspects of the promises of the Old Testament to the Daughter of Sion, and in her concrete person is anticipated that which will be realized for the new people of God, which is the Church. Now, the history of revelation regarding the theme of the Woman Sion concretized in the person of Mary, and extended to the Church, constitutes a doctrinal bastion, an unshakeable, well-structured ensemble for understanding the history of salvation, from its origins to the last times.

Father Stefano Manelli, FI, All Generations Shall Call Me Blessed, (Academy of the Immaculate: 1989), 361.

Resolution:

The simple devotion to the Mother of God opens the mysteries of the Old Testament, is a symbol of the church, encourages appreciation of the True God/True Man reality of the Messiah, sheds light on the profound mystery of the Blessed Trinity and finally provides one with a greater and more profound desire to worship the Blessed Sacrament, the Son of God who is also the Son of Mary.

I will try to cultivate a deeper love for my Heavenly Mother, the Queen of Heaven. The more childlike I become in her presence the more the mysteries of heaven and God will be revealed.

Today I will call upon the Queen of Heaven with the word "mother" and realize so much is contained in this one simple word.

Marian Vow:

St. Maximilian Kolbe

She is queen also of earth because she is the Mother of God himself, but she both desires and has a right to be freely acknowledged by every heart, be loved as the Queen of every heart, so that through her that heart might become immaculate, similar to her heart and more worthy of union with God, with the love of God, with the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Will to Love, (Marytown Press: 1998), 138.

I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Thanks be to God for graces received.

On the 45th anniversary of Roe v. Wade (Jan 22, 1973), Fr. Terrance speaks of the two main principles behind the Church’s doctrine on the protection of the unborn: the intrinsic dignity of the human person and the sacredness of human sexuality. Faithful Christians cannot sincerely pray for the protection of the unborn, and at the same time vote for pro-abortion politicians.

In the homily today (Feb 12, Tuesday 5th Week of Ordinary Time), reflecting on today’s Gospel, Fr. Matthias draws out St. Maximilian’s insight into God’s creative love and it’s reflection in human life: the origin of creation and order is Divine Love; without true, authentic love of God, there will always be chaos and violence in the world. “Only love creates.”

The post “Only Love Creates”: St. Maximilian’s Insight – Feb 12 – Homily – Fr Matthias first appeared on AirMaria.com.

In the homily for the memorial of St. Conrad of Piacenza (Third Order Franciscan, hermit, Feb 19) Fr. Matthias draws out a moral lesson relating to a line from the first reading: “The LORD saw how great was man’s wickedness on earth, and how no desire that his heart conceived was ever anything but evil.” God prohibits and holds us responsible not only for our actions, but even for our thoughts – whether good or bad – because all evils have their beginning in the human heart. Therefore we must acquire the virtue of purity in thought.

Ave Maria!
