Quote/s of the Day – 1 March – Hail to Thee, Forever Virgin, Mother of God

Quote/s of the Day – 1 March – Saturday of the Blessed Virgin – Salve Sancta Parens

Hail, full of grace!

Luke 1:28

Holy Light on earth’s horizon,
Star of hope to those who fall,
Light amid a world of shadows,
Dawn of God’s Design for all
.”

Hail to Thee, Forever Virgin,
Mother of God,
By St Methodius of Olympus (Died c311)

Hail to thee forever-Virgin
Mother of God,
our unceasing joy!
for unto thee do I again return. . . .
Hail, thou fount of the Son’s love for man. . . .
Wherefore, we pray thee,
the most excellent among women,
who boast in the confidence
of thy maternal honours
that thou wouldst, unceasingly,
keep us in remembrance.
O holy Mother of God,
remember us, I say,
who make our boast in thee
and who, in august hymns
celebrate thy memory
which will ever live
and never fade away.
Amen

(From “Oration on Simeon and Anna”)

You must know that when you
‘hail’ Mary, she immediately greets you!
Do not think that she is one of those rude women
of whom there are so many, on the contrary,
she is utterly courteous and pleasant.
If you greet her, she will answer you right away
and converse with you!

St Bernardine of Siena (1380-1444)

Quote/s of the Day – 16 August – Mother of God

Quote/s of the Day – 16 August – “The Month of the Immaculate Heart of Mary” – St Joachim, Father of the Blessed Virgin Mary – Ecclesiasticus 31:8-11, Matthew1:1-16 – Scripture search here: https://www.drbo.org/

And Jacob begot Joseph,
the husband of Mary
and of her was born Jesus,
Who is called Christ.

Matthew 1:16

That anyone could doubt the right
of the holy Virgin
to be called the Mother of God,
fills me with astonishment.
Surely she must be the Mother of God,
if our Lord Jesus Christ is God
and she gave birth to Him!

St Cyril of Alexandria (376-444)
Father and Doctor of the Church

Having confidence in thee,
O Mother of God, I shall be saved.
Being under thou protection,
I shall fear nothing.
With thy aid,
I shall give battle to my enemies
and put them to flight,
for devotion to thee,
is an arm of Salvation.

St John Damascene (676-749)
Father and Doctor of the Church
