Ave Maria, Gratia plena!

This blog is dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is my hope that all Christians who visit this site - Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or evangelical - will be encouraged, filled with joy but also challenged by the fact that they have not just a Father, but a Mother in Heaven.

For all who are seeking the deepest possible intimacy with God, with our Lord Jesus Christ, may we look nowhere else, in the end, than the one human being who has, since the Incarnation of Christ, experienced the most superlative closeness - physically and spiritually - to God-in-human-flesh. She is the Immaculate Conception, the Mother of Jesus Christ herself: the Daughter of God the Father, the Spouse of God the Holy Spirit, and the Mother of God the Son.

Mother Mary, give me compassion for the poor!

You care deeply and tenderly for the poor and desperately needy, as only a mother can care so much about her children. . .

Please have mercy on me, that I may become a vessel of mercy to those who need a lifeline. . .

Give me this gift: of preferential option for the poor, as you so earnestly express in your Magnificat. Make the poor rich in the poverty of Christ - and accomplish this through me, as God wills!
