+ “Our salvation begins when an archangel speaks the name of Mary. To be
Christian is to carry on that Annunciation unceasingly.
St. 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”.
To accept the divine privilege
of speaking the name of Mary is to participate in that saving union.
“Hail,
Mary! Full of Grace – the Lord is with you! Pray for us now, and at the hour of
our death. Amen.
