After Holy Communion, close your eyes and recollect yourself. Then usher Jesus into the heart of Mary: you are giving Him to His Mother who will receive Him with great love and give Him the place of honor, adore Him profoundly, show Him perfect love, embrace Him intimately in spirit and in truth, and perform many offices for Him of which we, in our ignorance, would know nothing. Or, maintain a profoundly humble heart in the presence of Jesus dwelling in Mary. Or be in attendance like a slave at the gate of the royal palace, where the King is speaking with the Queen. While they are talking to each other, with no need of you, go in spirit to heaven and to the whole world, and call upon all creatures to thank, adore and love Jesus and Mary for you. "Come, let us adore." Saint Louis Marie de Montfort, True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin
Take my hand, Maria.
We can ensure our complete union with Christ by true devotion to Mary, by our complete consecration of all that we are or have to her that she may form us in Christ, and Christ in us. She is the Gate of Heaven, by whom we enter into Christ. She is the Mother of the whole Christ. Fr. M. Eugene Boylan, a monk of the Cistercian Abbey of Mount Saint Joseph, Roscrea, Ireland
O Mary, Our Lady, Our Queen and Our Mother, in the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ, we implore you to take our cause into your hands and grant it good success. Amen. Fr. Dermot Roache, SMA Dedham Massachusetts
Let us entrust our lives, our families and all those for whom we pray to Our Blessed Mother Mary.
