Blessed Virgin Mary

Mother of Grace

svfonline2019-06-14T06:15:17-04:00

Two brief daily sermons. Our Lady is profoundly united to Jesus her Son; they are inseparable. She lived the very life of Christ. No one has ever known Him more profoundly or can be a more competent guide and teacher regarding knowledge of Christ. She is a most powerful means of uniting mankind to Christ - and she is our Mother! We are hence very much obliged to venerate her. Mary is fittingly called Mother of Divine Grace, for it is God's will that we obtain everything through her. All graces were merited by Christ. All graces then reach man through [...]

Concerning Mary Never Enough

svfonline2019-06-01T10:28:08-04:00

De Maria numquam satis. Your can never praise, honor, love, exalt or serve Mary enough. You can never sing enough Marian hymns or recite enough of her chaplets, prayers, and litanies, or put enough flowers before her statues and icons. As De Montfort states: all the external glory which Heaven and earth vie with each other to give her is nothing compared to what she has received interiorly from her Creator. In other words, the Almighty has done great things for her; therefore, we should not be hesitant or ashamed to do anything and everything for her and for her honor.

Virgin of Virgins

svfonline2019-05-29T13:20:29-04:00

Two brief daily sermons. The Blessed Trinity's wisdom, power and love is manifoldly seen in His most sacred sanctuary, the Virgin Mary. Our Lady's greatest title is "Mother of God." All her glories flow from the fact that she was chosen to be the Mother of God. When we say this of her, we say everything about her. To have a virginal soul means to love nothing on earth in comparison to God. Jesus alone! Our Lady is aptly called 'Virgin of virgins' because no one has ever lived for God as she did.

102nd Anniversary

svfonline2019-05-19T23:04:50-04:00

Every Catholic should know the following three important elements of the Message of Fatima. [1] It is an urgent call to conversion specific to our times; to return to God as He has revealed Himself; to believe, adore, hope, and love the one true God. [2] The Fatima plan includes the Rosary, Brown Scapular (living chastely), daily duty, reparation, and Five First Saturday Devotion. All these are to be done in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary. [3] The importance of the pope, and the pressing need for us to pray and sacrifice for him.

We Salute Thee Mary

svfonline2019-05-12T14:53:37-04:00

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 [...]

Our Lady and the Mass

svfonline2021-07-01T13:47:58-04:00

After Our Savior, no one ever suffered more or sacrificed more for the salvation of mankind than the Blessed Virgin Mary. Thus, no one desires more ardently than she to see the fruits of our Lord's Passion and Death applied to souls. This is indeed one of the central aspects of the Mass, whereby the glorious fruits of His Sacrifice are applied to individual souls. Meditate upon the profound connection between Mary and the Mass! It is even a pious belief that St. Peter offered the first (post-Ascension) Mass at Our Lady's request. The Mass gave us Mary and Mary gave [...]
