Perfect joy!
St. Francis was aflame with seraphic love of the Blessed Virgin! His devotion overflows into our hearts today ... praying ...
In thanksgiving for Our Holy Father Pope Francis...
Salutation of the
Blessed Virgin Mary
Hail Lady, Holy Queen, Holy Mary,
Mother of God, who are the Virgin made Church and the one chosen by the Most
Holy Father of Heaven, whom He consecrated with His Most Holy Beloved Son and
with the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete; in whom there was and is all fullness of
grace and every good. Hail His Palace; Hail His Tabernacle; Hail His Home.
Hail His Vestment; Hail His Handmaid; Hail His Mother and hail all you holy
virtues, which through the grace and illumination of the Holy Spirit are infused
into the hearts of the faithful, so that from being unbelievers, you make them
faithful to God. -- Saint Francis of Assisi
Could he be the Pope to define the dogma of the Mediatrix of all graces?

Marian daily, I don't know. For me it is already quite well defined. :)
ReplyDeleteTo define a dogma that is non-essential to the faith of Christians is to alienate unnecessarily those good Christians who cannot embrace it (and who should not have to, what with it being non-essential).
ReplyDeletePope Francis does not strike me as the sort of shepherd who would do that, to be honest. I do not expect he will do any such thing. Christians should be free to dispute points which are not at the heart of the teachings of Jesus Christ.
