Feast of the Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces
(Traditional Carmelite Calendar)
.jpg)
Let us come with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and may find grace in seasonable aid...[for] in [Her] is all grace of the way and of the truth, in [Her] is all hope of life and of virtue (Heb. 4.16; Ecclus. 24.25).
The Blessed Virgin Mary - Mediatrix of All Graces, the "throne of... all grace of the way and of the truth... all hope of life and of virtue" spurned at Vatican II: "The Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary Sacrificed to Vatican II 'Ecumenism' of Religious Harlotry". For my people have done two evils. They have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, and have digged to themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water (Jer. 2.13).
A most blessed Feast to everyone!

ReplyDelete"Come, children, hearken to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord" (from the "Gradual" of the Mass, 7th Sun after Pentecost - Ps. 33.12,6). Our Mediatrix can not but draw us only more intimately to the true God of our Catholic Tradition until we come to that perfectly intimate union in heaven with Him Who lavishly loved us. Such is Her exalted office being the depository and Dispensatrix of Him Who Is the fount and source of all good.
She draws us to Him Who Is the Truth - for to be redeemed is to be translated from the darkness of him "who stood not in the Truth" (Jn. 8.44) into the kingdom of Light. And the closer She draws us to the Light of our life the more we see both the infinite distance which separates us from the "Lord... Most High...terrible... Great King OVER ALL" (from the "Introit") on the one hand; and, GOD HIMSELF running, ON HIS OWN INITIATIVE, to meet us on our return to Him on the other. By the gift of the fear of the Lord, we are inclined to dread not so much anymore as the remembrance of our sins and our due chastisements - sufficient to bring about a conversion "but not to achieve our sanctification" (Fr. Tanquerey, S.S. in his classic "The Spiritual Life") - on account of the offense they caused Him Who Is the Infinite Good as the loss of This our Supreme Infinite Good. Therefore, true devotion to our Mediatrix leads to that traditional filial RESPECT FOR GOD; not to that Revolutionary 1789 and Vatican II "New Order" 'respect' for the 'Rights and Dignity' of Man as being championed by the Freemasons and those who march under their banner "all the while thinking they are... under the Apostolic Keys" ("Alta Vendita" or the "Masonic Blueprint for the Subversion of the Catholic Church" as exposed by the Holy See itself; cf., our post "A Perilous 'Catholic' Voyage") which breeds an excessive familiarity with the Sacred unto contempt - why 'mutant'/Vatican II-"New Order"-Catholics or those who claim to be the 'official Catholics' in 'full' communion with Rome of 'ecumenical' "disorientation" (having lost "the dogma of the Faith" according to the "Great Sign" who appeared at Fatima) do not bend their knees before the Most Blessed Sacrament (granting here a validly ordained Neo-Catholic "presider" at the "table" in Anglican/Episcopalian or Neo-Lutheran 'Communion Service' attire; this ministry though is never pleasing before the Divine Majesty) and then receive It with their unwashed unconsecrated hands as if It were merely a wafer-bread the tiny particles of Which they could not care less. No, our Mediatrix can not lead souls to this manifestly contemptuous practical denial - by that same diabolical spirit which inspired Protestantism - of the core of Catholic Dogma: the Divinity of the Eucharistic King.
