No Apologies #12 – Friar Joseph explaining that the Blessed Virgin Mary remained a virgin before, during, and after the Birth of Our Lord>>> Play

Ave Maria!

We apologize for the delay in getting this episode of “No Apologies” on the air. The Airmaria production team was on a field trip last week to Steubenville, Ohio, and Bloomington, Indiana, and with limited internet access during this time, we were unable to post this episode.

Fra Joseph is also recovering from a bout of Lyme’s disease and is in St Raphael’s Hospital in New Haven for the next week, so we will be unable to post the next episode of “No Apologies” for another two weeks – one thing for sure, these episodes are worth waiting for and in this episode Fra Joseph again skillfully explains the Perpetual Virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary using Sacred Scripture, Church Tradition, and the writings of the Early Church Fathers.

Ave Maria!

Standing Fast #23 – Fr. Angelo Geiger on the need for Christianity in Chivalry ( 9min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Fr. Angelo is back and vlogging with a vengeance. This episode is on religious chivalry vs secular chivalry. Referring to groups like the Society of Creative Anachronisms which are trying to reintroduce Chivalry with an ethical code not based on religious principles but on secular or even neo-pagan ones, Fr Angelo mentions that this is nothing new. Listen as he points out how western chivalry was uniquely Christian and thus superior to any of the many other forms of Chivalry, especially in regard to the treatment of women which was based on devotion to Mary.

Jul 13 – Homily – Fr Angelo: Parable of the Sower

apostolate — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:15:41 +0000

Homily #080713 ( 19min) Play – Fr. Angelo Geiger preaches on the Parable of the Sower, explaining that Jesus is doing three things with this parable, He gives the parable, explains the need for parables and then explains the parable to the disciples. Father focuses on the fact that Jesus needed to use parables due to the hardness of our hearts and, of coarse, this is bad news because the parable itself likens hard hearts to the hardened path which was not receptive to the seed of the Words of Life. Let us pray to Our Lady, the Virgin Earth, the Fertile Ground to help soften our hard hearts and so be able to bear a rich fruit, a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold.

Whenever I say Hail Mary…

Sr. JosephMary f.t.i. — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:00:44 +0000

Ave Maria Meditations

Feast of the Holy Name of Mary: September 12th

(Hail Mary, the Angelic Salutation)

Whenever I say Hail Mary

The court of heaven rejoices

And the earth is lost in wonderment

And I despise the world

And my heart is brim full

Of the love of God.

When I say Hail Mary;

All my fears wilt and die

And my passions are quelled.

If I say Hail Mary;

Devotion grows within me

And sorrow for sin awakens.

When I say Hail Mary

Hope is made strong

In my breast

And the dew of consolation

Falls on my soul

More and more

Because I say Hail Mary.

And my spirit rejoices

And sorrow fades away

When I say

Hail Mary.

by Blessed Alan de la Roche

The Power of Mary’s Name

Richard of Saint Laurence states “there is not such powerful help in any name, nor is there any other name given to men, after that of Jesus, from which so much salvation is poured forth upon men as from the name of Mary.” He continues, “that the devout invo?cation of this sweet and holy name leads to the acqui?sition of superabundant graces in this life, and a very high degree of glory in the next” …

Hence Richard of Saint Laurence encourages sin?ners to have recourse to this great name, because it alone will suffice to cure them of all their evils; and “there is no disorder, however malignant, that does not immediately yield to the power of the name of Mary.” The Blessed Raymond Jordano says “that however hardened and diffident a heart may be, the name of this most Blessed Virgin has such efficacy, that if it is only pronounced, that heart will be won?derfully softened” …

In fine, “your name, 0 Mother of God, is filled with divine graces and blessings,” as Saint Methodius says. So much so, that Saint Bonaventure declares “that your name, 0 Mary, cannot be pronounced without bringing some grace to him who does so devoutly.” Grant, 0 Lady, that we may often remember to name you with love and confidence; for this practice either shows the possession of divine grace, or else is a pledge that we shall soon recover it.

On the other hand, Thomas a Kempis affirms “that the devils fear the Queen of heaven to such a degree, that only on hearing her great name pronounced, they fly from him who does so as from a burning fire.”

The Blessed Virgin herself revealed to Saint Bridget “that there is not on earth a sinner, however devoid he may be of the love of God, from whom the devil is not obliged immediately to fly, if he invokes her holy name with a determination to repent.” On another occasion she repeated the same thing to the saint, saying, “that all the devils venerate and fear her name to such a degree, that on hearing it they imme?diately loosen the claws with which they hold the soul captive.” Our Blessed lady also told Saint Bridget “that in the same way as the rebel angels fly from sinners who invoke the name of Mary, so also do the good angels approach nearer to just souls who pro?nounce her name with devotion.”

SAINT ALPHONSUS DE LIGUORI

The Holy Name of Mary

Eight days after the birth of the Blessed Virgin, her holy parents, Saint Joachim and Saint Anne, inspired by God, gave her the name of Mary. The name Mary means Lady, and also Star of the Sea. Just to say her holy name is a prayer. It gives everyone who does so favor with God and power over the devil. Blessed Pope Innocent XI set up the feast of the Holy Name of Mary in 1683 to thank her for the victory which the Catholic army under John Sobieski, King of Poland gained over the Turks (Mohammedans), who were trying to sack Vienna and move in and conquer all the Catholics of the West. Mary’s name occurs in the first part and in the second part of the Hail Mary. In the middle of the Hail Mary, one speaks the Holy Name of Jesus. Great apostles of the Holy Name of Mary have been Saint Anthony of Padua and Saint Bernard of Clairvaux. Saint Bernard of Clairvaux says, “0 most holy Virgin Mary, your name is so sweet and admirable that one cannot say it without becoming inflamed with love toward God and toward you.” Others of particular note are St. Louis Marie de Montfort, St. Alphonsus Liguori and St. Maximilian Kolbe. The Holy Father, John Paul II, choose as his motto Totus Tuus which is to say, ?I am all yours (Mary)?.

THE HOLY NAME OF MARY

Our salvation begins when an archangel speaks the name of Mary. To be Christian is to carry on that Annunciation unceasingly. Saint Louis de Montfort wrote that “the salvation of each individual is bound up with the Hail Mary.” This prayer that names 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” (Romanus Cessario). To accept the divine privilege of speaking the name of Mary is to participate in that saving union.
