Don’t be a spiritual orphan!!
“Forgetting your mother is not good. And, to put it another way: if you do not want Mary as your mother, you shall have her as your stepmother! And that is not good!!!” Francis – Bergoglio
The never ending heresies of Francis-Bergoglio!!! Bergoglio should know devotion to the Mother of God is Necessary for our Salvation!!! We do not pick and choose doctrines or dogmas of the Catholic faith! Bergoglio is our chastisement!!
(Aleteia) - For over an hour in Paul VI hall earlier this week, Pope Francis spoke “with an open heart” with the priests and seminarians of the Roman pontifical colleges on the day after the World Day for Vocations.
From the Pope’s spontaneous answers to various questions, Aleteia selected and translated this admirable passage about Mary:
“A great relationship with the Blessed Virgin helps us to have a great relationship with the Church: they are both mothers… You know the text of Saint Isaac of Stella [monk and theologian of the twelfth century]: what can be said of Mary can be said of the Church and also of our soul. All three are feminine, all three are mothers, all three give life. Our relationship with the Virgin is the relationship of a son.
“Pay attention to this if you do not have a great relationship with the Virgin, you have something of an orphan in your heart.
“I remember, thirty years ago I was in northern Europe [...] I was invited to a family of practicing Catholics [...] The parents were both university professors. They were also catechists. They had many children.
“At the table, they began to talk about Jesus Christ, about whom they were enthusiastic, and they said, ‘Thank God, we have gotten past the stage of the Blessed Virgin.’
DEVOTION TO OUR LADY IS NECESSARY FOR SALVATION
Open to us, O Mary, the gate of Paradise, since you have its keys! - St. Ambrose
No one can enter into Heaven except through Mary, as entering through a gate. - St. Bonaventure
Mary is called “The Gate of Heaven” because no one can enter Heaven but through her means. - St. Alphonsus Maria Liguori
All the Saints have a great devotion to Our Lady: no grace comes from Heaven without passing through her hands. We cannot go into a house without speaking to the doorkeeper. Well, the Holy Virgin is the doorkeeper of Heaven. - St. John Mary Vianney
She opens the abyss of God’s mercy to whomsoever she wills, when she wills, and as she wills, so that there is no sinner however great who is lost if Mary protects him . . . All men: past, present, and to come, should look upon Mary as the means and negotiator of the salvation of all ages. - St. Bernard
Every grace and blessing possessed by the Church, all the treasures of light, holiness, and glory that abide in her, on earth as well as in Heaven, all are due to the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary . . . Let us acknowledge, then, that her heart is the origin of everything noble, rich, and precious in all the holy souls who form the universal Church in Heaven and on earth. It is the source of salvation. – St. John Eudes
There is no reconciliation, O Mary, except that which thou didst conceive in thy virginity, no justification save that which thou didst nurture inviolately in thy womb, no salvation but that which thou didst immaculately bear. Therefore, O Lady, thou art the mother of justification and of the justified, thou art the begetter of reconciliation and of the reconciled, the Mother of salvation and of the saved. O blessed assurance, O refuge without fear! The Mother of God is our mother, too! The mother of Him in Whom alone we hope, Whom alone we fear, is our mother. We have for our mother the mother of Him Who alone can save us, Who alone will be our judge! - St. Anselm
