The Most Holy Name of Mary

Today we celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary in a particularly reverent way as it is the feast day of The Most Holy Name of Mary.  On this day we are reminded of the importance to pray for Mary’s magnificent intercession to deepen our love of the Risen Lord Jesus and His holy will.1

According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, “[w]e venerate the name of Mary because it belongs to her who is the Mother of God, the holiest of creatures, the Queen of heaven and earth, the Mother of Mercy… [This] feast commemorates all the privileges given to Mary by God and all the graces we have received through her intercession and mediation.”2

Indeed, when we consider how God calls all people everywhere to eternal salvation it is indeed marvelous to contemplate the role Mary plays in this.  And to help us grasp this role, it is necessary that we begin with Jesus.3

Praise the Lord
