Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary – August 15, 2025

          Please join us on Thursday for one of our Masses in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, not from a sense of “obligation,” but from a sense of gratitude.

         Because of the unsurpassable dignity of being Jesus’ mother and because of her total personal submission to God’s will at every stage of her life, Mary takes precedence over all of us in sharing God’s glory.  And so the Church teaches that she is a “pre-eminent and…a wholly unique member of the Church.”  And yet, she is still one of us …fully human yet not sharing in the divinity of her Son … in the joy of eternity, she leads us to stand in adoration of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

Although we don’t worship Mary, we do ask her to intercede for us as she offers her human prayers on our behalf.  Mary listens to our prayers with a mother’s love and so we should never hesitate to pray to her each day.

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known 
that anyone who fled to your protection, 
implored your help, 
or sought your intercession, 
was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence 
I fly unto you, 
O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. 

To you do I come, before you I stand, 
sinful and sorrowful.

O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions, 
but in your mercy hear and answer me.
