We may honour Our Lady of the Holy Rosary today with praying the Rosary decade while meditating on the words of St Therese of Child Jesus. As we can see from the quotes below, St Therese had a great devotion to Our Lady and loved her spiritual Mama truly. Good example for all of us!
Sign of the Cross, Pater Noster, three Ave Maria. Fruit of the Mystery, devotion to Our Lady
Behold, your mother! (John 19:27)
Pater Noster...
The Blessed Virgin is my mother and little children ordinarily resemble their mama. Ave Maria...
Not being able to bear it any longer, I asked the Blessed Virgin to take my head in her hands and to support it. Ave Maria...
The Blessed Virgin is the Queen of heaven and earth, quite true, but she is more mother than queen. Ave Maria...
The Blessed Virgin loves us truly as Jesus loves us. Ave Maria....
I felt that the Blessed Virgin was watching over me, that I was her child. Hence I found it necessary to call her "Mama", for this name seemed even more tender than that of mother. Ave Maria....
It is proper to speak of her prerogatives, but we must not content ourselves with that. We must do all we can to make her beloved of souls. Ave Maria....
When we ask a grace from the Blessed Virgin, we receive immediate help. Have you not experienced this? Well, try it and you will see. Ave Maria....
The Blessed Virgin never fails to protect me as soon as I invoke her. In my troubles and anxieties I very quickly turn towards her and, like the most tender of mothers, she always takes care of my interests. Ave Maria....
She has given us so many proofs that she cares for us like a Mother. Ave Maria...
A mother's heart always understands, even when her child can do no more than lisp. Ave Maria....
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto,
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
St Therese quotes from various sources.
