Mary, Our Might
July 2, 2017
BEING POOR is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
Losing your job is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
Imprisonment is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
Murder is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
Cancer is not the worst thing that can happen to you.
There is only one really bad thing that can happen to you — losing your soul.
When man turned against God, he fled from His face. He suffered for centuries in confusion and uncertainty.
God could have left it that way, but instead He repaired the rupture between His creatures and Himself. He offered shelter. And it began in the womb of a single woman. For many this mystical event is nothing but fable. If all you see is the world before you, then you are blind to what is not visible.You are as crippled as — no, more crippled than — the man who is physically blind. You cannot see an entire dimension of reality.
Immaculate Mary, your praises we sing.
You reign now in Heaven with Jesus our King.
Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria!
In Heaven the blessed your glory proclaim;
On earth we your children invoke your sweet name.
Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria!
Your name is our power
Your virtues our light
Your love is our comfort
Your prayers are our might
Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria! Ave, Ave, Ave, Maria!
