Ave Maria!

Our Lord is the Victim, Priest and Bride Groom of the Church and Our Lady Participates like no other ever has or will. She enables all of us to participate in the unbloody sacrifice of Mass. Listen to father as he explains the dignity of womanhood based on Mary’s unique cooperation in the work of Christ.

Ave Maria!

Mary Vitamin July 30th

Topic: Fourth Sorrowful Mystery – Carrying of the Cross
In honor of the Month of the Precious Blood

Quote:
Then therefore [Pontius Pilate] delivered him to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him forth. And bearing his own cross, he went forth to that place which is called Calvary, but in Hebrew Golgotha.
John 19:16-17

Meditation:
Father Frederick Faber
It was a dreadful thing for a mother to walk the streets over her own son’s blood. No one cared for it. No heart was touched. None suspected the heavenly mystery, at which angels were gazing in silent stupor. Mary too must tread upon it. It was sorrow almost literally trampling its own heart under foot. She must tread on that which she was worshipping. That which colored the street-mud, which blotched the paving-stones, which clung, half wet and half dry, to the garments of the multitude, was hypostatically united to the Godhead. It merited the plenitude of divine worship. Mary was adoring it at every step.
Father Faber, The Foot of the Cross, (Tan Books), 220.

Resolution:
Today, when about my ordinary activities, I will try to remember the steps taken by Our Lady following Our Lord and Her Worship of the Precious Blood. When I walk up the stairs today, in particular I will remember the Precious Blood and I will make a Spiritual Communion.

Marian Vow:
Let the tertiaries, if possible, participate everyday in the holy sacrifice of the altar, standing at the foot of the cross of Calvary, in union with the Immaculate Coredemptrix, to offer themselves as victims united with the Divine Victim, Jesus Crucified, receiving in their own hearts Holy Communion (or at least spiritual Communion, if it is not possible to receive the Sacrament). Nourished with the Eucharistic Jesus, united to the Immaculate Mediatrix, let the tertiaries each day live faithfully the daily obligations of their state.
Marian Seraphic Pathways, Constitutions #25

I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Thanks be to God for graces received.

Homily #100815t ( 07min) Play – Twentieth century age of progress or age of victims? St. Maximilian Kolbe’s martyrdom was a light in the darkness of the twentieth century. In the assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mother we have great hope in the resurrection of God’s faithful.

Homily #121021b ( 17min) Play – Fr. Joachim on the role of the priesthood and how it is a ministry of  mediation on behalf of the faithful based on the self sacrifice of Christ who is both priest and victim. This sacrifice is re-presented during each Mass where the one sacrifice at Calvary is made present to us. The priest, through his ordination, shares in the sacrifice in Persona Christi and the lay people as well, through Baptism, participate in the same sacrifice as the Mystical Body of Christ.
