A Rosary Tip, Concerning Our Lady's TitlesDo this when you pray the Rosary:

At the point in the Angelic Salutation where you pray, "Mother of God," substitute

it in a rotation of titles that come from the Litany of Our Lady, Marian apparitions,

and other ones found in church-approved texts. The examples go as follows:

Holy Mary, Mother of Mercy, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death.

Holy Mary,Queen of Angels, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death.

Holy Mary, Mirror of J ustice, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death.

Holy Mary, House of Gold, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death.

Holy Mary, Morning Star, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of death.

Also include Mother of Godin your Rosary throughout the month. In your Rosary

recitation, you are simply adding to the title, Mother of God, other official titles that

define the Virgin Mary. Therefore, this tip consists in incorporating the Rosary of

the Virgin Mary with her litany. It's the act of praying two devotions simultaneously.

Of course, chose one or more Marian titles that you find applicable to the Rosary

mystery upon which you are meditating. For example, for the Annunciation, the ti-

tle Queen of Angels fits, because an angel appeared to Mary, saluted more highly

than any human in history, and announced that she would become the mother him

who would be called Son of God. Being that the angel called Mary full of grace,

and therefore free of sin, you can also pray (while meditating on the Annunciation)

Holy Mary, the Immaculate Conception, pray for us sinners now and at the

hour of death. This is because Mary identified herself as the Immaculate Concep-

tion at Lourdes ... during her final visit there. However, keep in mind that many

titles of Mary apply to any one mystery of the Rosary.

Other examples of suiting a Marian title with a Rosary meditation include, but are

not limited to:

1 - The Nativity of Jesus: Holy Mary, Mother of Our Savior, being that angels

appeared to shepherds that night and told them that a savior had been born un-

to them.

2 - The Scourging at the Pillar: Holy Mary, Tower of Ivory, being that she was suf-

fering intense grief and needed to spiritually ascend to the symbolic ivory tower.

3 - The Crucifixion: Holy Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows.... self-explanatory.

4 - The Descent of the Holy Spirit: Holy Mary, Queen of the Apostles, being that

she was in the Cenacle with the apostles, during the nine days of prayer.

5 - The Assumption of Our Lady: Holy Mary, Gate of Heaven ... self-evident.

Employ whatever title the Holy Spirit inspires you to use.

EWTN used to air two TV shows hosted by former North American Director of the

Militia Immaculata, Father James McCurry. While on air, Fr. Jim defined the titles of

the Virgin Mary as being "efficacious ones." Of course, this refers to the titles in the

Litany of Our Lady and elsewhere. When you announce these titles in any applicable

prayer, as opposed to pointlessly announcing them, you unleash light. This is because

they each define an aspect of Mary and that aspect becomes alive in your perception.

This means that using these titles in prayer is actually the act of calling upon the power

of Mary related to the power symbolized by the title you use. For example, if some-

one is ill, it would be wise to pray, "Holy Mary, Health of the Sick, Pray for us

now and at the hour of death" ... while you are praying the Rosary. This will

bring three-dimensionality to your prayer. It will keep you alert, also. The bottom

line is that the titles of Mary have meaning. They are not mere window dressing.

________________________________________________________________

By the way, Fr. Jim told me, while we both were in Massachusetts, that he believed

the root of today's evils were the Dialectics of Hegel. This translates into problem

solving via Thesis ... resulting in Antithesis ... followed by Synthesis. This translates

actually into compromising morals and changing doctrine according to human whim

... or to convenience ... or in the image and likeness of a self-seeking manipulator.

I have two of my own theories as to why things are so evil. I simply decided to let

you in on what a former director of St Maximilian Kolbe's Militia Immaculata thought

on the subject.

The thing that impressed me the most about Fr. Jim is that he was apparently taught

exquisite manners while growing up. But, his actions were a reflex action. There

was nothing fake or contrived about them. Only a South American book award win-

ner I was published along-side a couple times had manners more exquisite. Only a

Latin American gentleman whose typewriter I once borrowed had the equivalency.I have to vent. Fr. James McCurry's manners, at least while he was stationed with

Conventuals at Granby Massachusetts, were impressive. More importantly, James

McCurry, the last time I checked, knew his Mariology ... and then some. Thus,

he would make an excellent reference source, in learning anything about Mary.

The tip of the moment is to use several Marian titles while praying the Rosary. If

you don't limit yourself, you will eventually have unlimited power intersect your life.

At Fatima Mary said, "God has entrusted the Peace of the World to my Im-

maculate heart." This means that without Mary, there will be no world peace.

In fact, if you don't find peace in your heart, you won't find it anywhere else.

Being that the higher percentage of humanity ignores or deplores Mary, the world

has been traveling in the opposite direction on the Road to Peace. As a result the

various subsets of humanity have been crashing into each other, thereby triggering

deadly conflicts of varying sorts. The formula for World Peace includes praying,

Holy Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of

death.
