“We must pray often to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the
Immaculate Conception, who has the mission to crush the
head of the serpent. Satan is frightened at the mere word of
the Immaculate Conception. As soon as things are not going
well, as soon as you feel a bad mood, a revolt within you, say:
O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse
to Thee. We must also invoke the Blessed Virgin under the
title of Queen of the heavenly armies: O Mary, Commander
of the heavenly armies, protect us.”
Father John Gregory of the Trinity
Here I am at Your sacred feet, O Immaculate Virgin; I rejoice greatly
with You that You have been chosen from all eternity to be the
Mother of the eternal Word, and preserved from the original sin. I
thank and bless the Most Holy Trinity, who enriched You with these
glorious privileges on the day of Your Conception; and I humbly beg
You to obtain for me the grace to triumph over the dreadful effects
that original sin has produced in me. May I, through Your intercession,
be granted this grace and never cease to love my God!
3 Ave Maria…
Blessed be the Holy and Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
