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.

True holiness is not cheap

Blessed Mother,

Is it not true that the sanctity you wish your children to attain is as a priceless jewel hidden in the middle of a vast desert? That all the world has to offer is literally worthless compared to the holiness of your Immaculate Heart?

Grant me courage and strength, that I may seek after this sanctity and throw off all that hinders this pursuit.
