Two brief daily sermons.
Great saints teach us that devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary is necessary for salvation. No one can acquire an intimate union with Our Lord, and a perfect fidelity to the Holy Ghost, without a very great union with the Most Holy Virgin and a great dependence on her assistance. Dedicate this month of May to uniting yourself more to Mary and imploring her tender and powerful intercession.
Always bear in mind the means and final goal of union with Mary. One unites himself more to Our Lady by [1] meditating upon her life and [2] striving to imitate her virtues. The titles from the Litany of Loreto help us meditate upon Mary. With the first invocation, "Holy Mary," we consider how her name should be for us "joy in the heart and honey in the mouth."
