NINTH DAY - 16 NOVEMBER
The Crowning of Mary Most Holy

Scripture Passage
And Mary said, "My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant. For behold, from now on, all generations will call me blessed; for he who is mighty has done great things for me and holy is His name. And His mercy is for those who fear Him from generation to generation. (Luke 1:46-50)

Consideration
Let us consider the ineffable joy Mary Most Holy had when seated on the Throne of Glory She has crowned by the Three Divine persons: By the Eternal Father for being His most worthy Daughter, by the Son for being His loving Mother, and by the Holy Spirit for being His most beloved Spouse. The angels, Seraphs and blessed acclaimed Her as Queen. And seated at the side of Her Son, above all Courts of Heaven, She started to enjoy the blessedness as its Queen. The magnitude of the glory that Mary most holy merited is indescribable, because she does not only surpass that of all the Blessed but, as Arnold said, it is the same as that of Her Son all of which including everything that is given in honor of Her virtues, also serve as consolation and hope for men to whom She Herself says: You must know my children that the glory that I now possess and on which I now rest is mine: Mine are all the joys but they are mine in such a way as if they were Yours. I wish and I desire that all of you enjoy them, and I will do with My intercession, that all my devotees participate of the same glories. This She does and will do until the end of the world; because seeing the immensity of good that She is enjoying under the title of our Mother and Advocate, She will present to Her Son our petitions; who not only through Her intercession, but because He has Her in His presence will neither dare to deny us, nor delay delivery of our petitions.

Reflection
Mother most powerful in heaven, how are You going to deny what I ask You with confidence?
(Continue meditating for a quarter of an hour)

Prayer
Most glorious Virgin, heaven of heaven itself, a compliment to the glory of God and throne of the Blessed Trinity, I am immensely glad that You are exalted above all the saints and the courts of hell. I beg You, because You are at the side of the Supreme King flooded with light to look after Your orphan children who live in the world, and we present to You, as our Mother, so much works that bother us so many miseries and evils that suffocate us, we asked You to have pity on our loneliness and sadness; and preserve our life for Your regard, by increasing in our hearts the aids of grace until we rest with You in the glory. Amen.

Let us pray 5 Hail Marys in honor of the five letters of the most sweet name of MARIA.

EIGHT DAY - 15 NOVEMBER
The Assumption of Mary Most Holy

Scripture Passage
Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within His temple was seen the ark of His covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a great hailstorm. A great and wondrous sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on Her head. (Revelation 11:19-20)

Consideration
Let us consider, how when the time has come, in which the merits of Mary Most Holy have already reached their proper summit, God not wanting Her not to die, so that She would walk through the same paths as Her Son Jesus, but the heat of the fever did not end with Her life, neither did She have bodily infirmity that caused Her pain, fatigue, torment and sorrow. She died not in the hands of Death, but under the impulse of love, wounding Her the Sun of Her beloved Son with so vehement and active fire, which had dissolved Her totally like a Sovereign kid. She deposited Her soul in the hands of the Lord, and on the third day, like Jesus Christ, united with Her blessed Body accompanied by the Immaculate Lamb, the Angels, Seraphs and all the celestial courts, with all the kinds of festive manifestations, soft music, and sweet songs, she went up to the Palace of Glory, to give joy with Her presence to those most happy spirits who, on seeing Her were left spellbound and enraptured. The Venerable Maria de Agreda says that when the Lord died, many miracles were performed on earth, the sick were healed through Her Sovereign intercession: of which we can all be assured even of more effective and powerful ones now that She is living in blessedness.

Reflection
Because Mary live loving God, She died for His love. For whose love will you die? Woe to you! If it is not for the love of Mary or for God.
(Continue meditating for a quarter of an hour)

Prayer
Most loving Virgin, confined in the prison of the earth for the healing and benefit of the creatures, breathed out Your most pure spirit, at the force of the most powerful fire, going up to heaven in the hands of Your Son. Through that indescribable joy that You felt when You were welcome by that joyful group, we beg You continue in us the task as a Mother, that You performed when You live with men. Look Mary, Our Lady, when the sun sets, sinners weep louder. Look at us sad and helpless sick, by allowing some of Your beautiful rays, to enlighten our understanding and enflame our cold heart, and dispel the darkness, in which we live, so that we may be worthy to die in Your hands, and accompany You in the eternal joys.
Amen.

Let us pray 5 Hail Marys in honor of the five letters of the most sweet name of MARIA.

SEVENTH DAY - 14 NOVEMBER
The Solitude of Mary Most Holy

Scripture Passage
Near the cross of Jesus stood His mother, His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw His mother there, and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to Her, "Woman, here is Your son," and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. (John 19:25-27)

Consideration
Let is consider Mary Most Holy alone at the foot of the Cross, looking at the only Son of Her womb His natural beauty worn out, without any healthy part in that Divine Body. Placed in infamous scaffold, He Who alone is true God; the Creator of the whole universe treated as the worst of all the mortals: And in the end, God Himself put to death by the hands of the most cruel of men, whom He had endowed with infinite goodness and favors. What sighs would this most powerful Dove not give out? What sobs for such anguished Princess! And seeing this, does Mary still live? Yes, says St. Anselm, Mary still lives because the Divine Providence wanted that She should suffer much for men, that She should die not only once but many times; and She did not only live, says St. Ambrose, but considered that tragedy with pleasure, be amazed, by knowing the reason why, even if it pierced Her loving heart seeing Her Son dying on a Cross, she was filled with joy and pleasure, seeing that in this manner He would obtain the health of the world.

Reflection
How much did Mary who is sinless suffer? What a pity! And nothing could I do not even for Mary. What a shame!
(Continue meditating for a quarter of an hour)

Prayer
Most Sorrowful Virgin, the epitome of great sorrows, and condensed representation of the most cruel pains, whose immense pain, in the death of the most Innocent Jesus, is impossible to affirm, because we alone are the villainous architects of the Cross: Prostrate at Your Divine feet, converted into speechless statutes because of our sorrow, we are sorry one and a thousand times, for having been the cause of your sorrows. And we implore You to look at us with maternal affection, because we cost You so much pains, grant us true sorrow for having offended Your Son, so that through Your intercession, we may find well-disposed that severe and always just Judge, whom our sins have angered, but Your tears have appeased; so that Your afflictions may not increase with our offenses; relieve us in our infirmities and labors in this life, by giving us the health of body and soul, and may we rest with You in the joys of Glory. Amen.

Let us pray 5 Hail Marys in honor of the five letters of the most sweet name of MARIA.

SIXTH DAY - 13 NOVEMBER
The Purification of Mary Most Holy

Scripture Passage
Now, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was with him. It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death before he had seen the Messiah of the Lord. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him, He took him into his arms and blessed God saying: "Now, Master, You may let Your servant go in peace, according to Your word for my eyes have seen Your salvation which You prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for Your people Israel." (Luke 2:25-32)

Consideration
Let is consider the profound humility of Mary Most Holy walking to the temple, the Queen of heaven and earth, for whom every carriage of the sun would not be a decent chair. She goes to fulfill the law and the Mother of the Supreme Legislator wishing to appear blemished, who is most pure Virgin before birth, during birth and after birth, and surpasses in innocence purity itself. She also offers to the eternal Father Her beloved Son as Divine image, and as our likeness, that of the Word so that He may be pleased, seeing His portrait and that of our nature so that He may be moved with pity. And thus on seeing Him Simeon explained: Now, Lord, You can let Your servant go in peace, because my eyes had seen your health. He saw it, and the whole world saw it, at the expense of the purity of Mary, so that with the shadows of being blemished, the mirror of Her beauty would be more pleasing to God.

Reflection
So who is more pure than the sun, purifies for you; and you with a thousand impurities refuse to purify your soul?
(Continue meditating for a quarter of an hour)

Prayer
Most humble Virgin, Mother of purity itself. Celestial world that includes the immensity of God Himself and because of Your great love for us, You put Yourself of the level of the unworthiness of other women. We beg You to make us so humble that we may not become unworthy of Your mercies and that we may perform exactly the Divine Law that we may never separate ourselves from it. Purify our souls infected by the horrible plague of so many sins. Purify the atmosphere that surrounds us, so that it may not kill us because You have given us Your Son the health of the world, let not Your clemency regret of giving Him to us until the last hour, so that we may accompany You in the temple of glory. Amen.

Let us pray 5 Hail Marys in honor of the five letters of the most sweet name of MARIA.

FIFTH DAY - 12 NOVEMBER

The Expectation of Mary

Scripture Passage

This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel” (which means “God with us”). (Matthew 1: 18-23)

Consideration

Let us consider the tender anxieties and the burning affections of the Heart of the Most Holy Mary, in order to discover in the Word what would be the health of the world. Having God with her, she did not stop entertaining the strong desires of sharing Him who was born of Her Virginal Womb with people. The Heavenly Princess spent long hours in fervent prayer because her love was so ardent; and her love is charity that looks at the neighbors. From here came her ardent desire that all creatures may enjoy the Son of her womb, by sharing with the Universe, His light--like a brilliant sun whose rays extend with immense clarity. She did not wish to be alone-- the Virgin who had achieved so many benefits--for she knew, with great vividness, how important was the birth of Jesus for us--who are in a different situation--living without consolation and remedy. And even if she enjoyed having in her womb the Eternal Word, Mary prefers the common good than her particular convenience. Though it was great for her to enjoy being alone with the God-Man, nevertheless, she wished to share Him so that all people may enjoy the One who would give health to the entire humanity.

Prayer

Most loving Virgin, Model of most fervent Charity, who even if how much you love your children, you never cease to love us, even if you see that we all had been despicable and ungrateful. All of us repentant and sorrowful beg you, that since, out of pure clemency you granted us the Son of your womb, and in Him all our happiness and health, we hope in Him alone who is our life; may we mistrust the world that deceives us; and may we live with strong hope, that through your kindness and love we may see Him and be happy with Him forever. Amen.

FOURTH DAY - 11 NOVEMBER
The Visitation of the Most Holy Mary

Scripture Passage
At the time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill of the country of Judea, where She entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabrth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leap in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: Blessed are You among women and blessed is the child You will bear! But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? As soon as the sound of Your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. Blessesd is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to Her!" (Luke 1:39-45)

Consideration
Let us consider how at the moment that the Holy Mary was elevated to be the Mother of the Savior of the world, sge divinely lavishes Her treasures, She went to share them with the sick granting him health. The road of approximately twenty seven leagues (a league is 4.8 kilometers) was very long, difficult, and uphill; but because of Her great love it become pleasant, short, and very plain.; because the paths that this Lady traverses for our good and health, do not appear to be filled with pricking thorns, but enameled with white lilies and roses. She entered the house of Her cousin Elizabeth and health entered in it too; because scarcely had the child John heared the voice of Mary, his soul that was infected by the plague of original sin was healed.

Reflection
Mary, proceeds with haste to give healing to a soul, and you do you go in haste in order to loss yours and that of others?
(Continue meditating for a quarter of an hour)

Prayer
Most merciful Mother, the only remedy of the afflicted and effective cure of the sick, You who are quick to help that You do not wait that they come to pray to You. Look with Your eyes of mercy at those who walk overwhelmed and blind in the dangerous situations of the world. All our steps have been until now been a disgrace and perdition for us. Each one of us has followed his/her path, not through Yours; some through lust, others through greed, and others through pride. And because You are the compass and the star that guide us, we stray from so many crooked paths, and achieve promtness for good works; so that walking with quick steps through the rough path of mortification, we may become worthy to arrive with Your light at the heavenly palace. Amen.
