As we can see from the portals of many churches or cathedrals (Notre Dame of Paris for example), statuary and iconography of the Last Judgement always include the Virgin Mary. Mother of the Redeemer and Mother of the redeemed How could she who is both the Mother of the Church and Mother of all love and mercy, not be present at that decisive time of the final fate of her children? Isn't Mary not only the Mother of the Redeemer but at the same time the Mother of the redeemed, the very people whom Jesus entrusted to her universal motherly care when, from the Cross at Calvary, he gave John the disciple to her as a son? In this case, Saint Anselm remarked, Mary is as much “Mother of the Judge” as “Mother of the guilty.” Mary is the Queen of purgatory Let us remember that Mary is the Queen of purgatory. This means that after death, a man, a sinner, is not handed over solely to divine justice, but also to the compassion of the heart of a Mother who pleads for sinners…And a mother never gives up until she has tried all means with the Lord to save her children. God in his goodness has willed that: in our earthly life and at the time of eternal judgement, she who has the most power over his heart accompanies us with her tender and maternal presence so that all can attain salvation. Hence, the Virgin Mary is just as powerfully associated by God to his redemptive plan of salvation that she was associated to the mystery of the Incarnation… L'équipe de MDN <6425.0.htm>MDN<6425.0.htm> Team <848.0.htm>Mary and Our Salvation <1062.0.htm>Mary's Help at the Time of <1062.0.htm>Death <1064.0.htm>The Privilege of Those Who Love Her The "Mary of Nazareth" Project <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the Kingdom!<*}}}>< Prayer for Unborn Life: O GOD OF LIFE AND LOVE, You have given us the gift to participate with You to bring new life into the world. But, all too often, the mother's womb, which should be a nursery of life, becomes instead a place of it's destruction. Help us to remove this evil and ensure respect for all life made in Your image and likeness, called to fulfill its promise on this earth, and destined to find a home with you for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Our God, Our Savior, and Our ALL. Amen. <http://holypostage.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=37> Christmas Postage from HolyPostage.com <*}}}>< <http://www.holypostage.com/>Holy Postage <*}}}>< <*}}}><<http://www.halfthekingdom.org/>Half the Kingdom!<*}}}>< --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Please note that I do not send or open attachments sent to this list.
