THE HEAVENLY QUEEN OF MAY

On looking over recerN~ collec-
ton of sermons issued by an Angli-
can community called the Society of
IS. Peter and Paul, we find the fol-
lowing beautiful tribute to the Virgin.
1t is from the pen of Rev. Hilary Knox,
a member of the society and fellow
of Trinity college, Oxford. The pas
sage is noteworthy in showing the
progress of Catholic thought and SEN
timent throughout the Anglican fold.
And after careful reflection can we
grudge her any of the praise which
has been accorded to her. When we
have called her Virgin of Virgins,
Parent of God, Mother of Christ, do
not all the other titles in the Litany
of Loretto fall short of these and fol-
low from then as night follows day?
Mother of Divine Grace, for grace and
truth came by Jesus Christ; Mother,
most pure, most chaste, Mother in
violate, Mother undefiled-those are
but statement Gf the necessary con-
ditions. Mother lovable-who could
help loving her, unless his heart were
hardened with sin? Mother admirable
who could help admiring her, un-
less his eyes were blinded by envy?
Mother of Good Counsel, for it was
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1916-08-12

she who counselled the servants at
Cana of Galilee, Whatsoever he saith
unto you, do it: that first lesson OF
the Christian life, to do what you're
told without asking questions. Mother
of our Saviour, and of our Creator, too,
for without Him was not anything
made that was made. Virgin most
prudent, for knowing these things she
kept them and pondered them in her
heart. Virgin whom we ought to love,
whom we ought to preach-shame on
the people that do not love her, on
the ministers that do not preach her!
Virgin powerful, for if her prayers
are not heard by her Son, whose will
be? Will yours and mine? Virgin
pitiful-she who stood by Jesus on
Calvary knows surely how to pity.
Virgin faithful-for she believed in
her Son when the world knew Him
not. Mirror of Righteousness, for
there is no Christian grace which is
not reflected in her. Abode of Wis
dom, for the coming of Jesus is the
key to the riddle of life, as we'll as
to it's prison. Cause of our joy, for
she is the only human link in the
glad chain of our redemption.
Vessel of the Spirit-we are all
that in a sense; Vessels of Honor
we may all be that; but she in a

fuller and truer sense is both. Yes
sci of Devotion beyond all other, for
there is no devotional literature that
can surpass Ne Magnificent. Mystic
Rose, for 'HerseR Rose, and felt
it's thorn Tower of David, for the
hopes of David's line find their last
refuge in her. Tower OF Ivory, for she
resisted all assaults of the devil,
Fortress impregnable; House of Gold,
for she, like the Monstrance, derived
her glory from that which she bare,
and reflected it all back on Him. Ark
of the Covenant, because in her was
enshrined the New Covenant of gracen
as the Old Covenant of the law VIA
enshrined in the Ark which Moses
made. Gate of Paradise, because the
Gate of Paradise was barred upon us
by. Adams transgression, and Mary
was the Lock in which the Key of
David fitted, who alone could swing
it back.
"She is called the Star of the Morn
ing, because in her shone the first
beam of heavenly light that heralded
the rising of the Sun of Righteous
ness. Stay of the Weak, Refuge of
Sinners, Comfort of Mourners, Help
of Christians, are but the tribute paid
by nineteen centuries of Christian ex-
perience to the power of her inter
cession. She is Queen of the Angels,
for Gabriel called her blessed; of the
Patriarchs and Prophets, because she
nj ho-, do
sired to see, and died before the
sight; of the Apostles, because even
John was impatient, and even Thomas
doubted, and even Peter was afraid;
of the Martyrs, because all the tor
ments of the eXecutioner were con-
tanned in the Sword that pierced her
| loving heart at her Sons Passion; of
the Confessors, because she followed
the Man of Sorrows through His
earthly pilgrimage among the people
that would not receive Him; of the
| Virgins, because, like them, she re-
Inounced the joys of wedlock, and I'M
| like them knew it's sorrows;. of all
the Saints, because all the Saints in
every age have testified to her glory
|. She is Queen, too; OF the Holy Rosary,
/ the Summary of the History of our
| Redemption, the drama in three acts,
the melody in three slaves, by which
every affection of the human heart is
Estirred, and every passion stilled. She
is the Queen conceived without sin,
i because no less could be demanded of
her who was to be the Tabernacle of
the Most High. There is no exaggera-
ton in those titles, they are rather
understatements, faltering efforts of
human language to describe what hui
man thought finds incomprehensible.
Blessed is she that hath believed,
for theQe shall be a performance of
H those things which were told her by
the Lord; and blessed are we, now
that they have been performed, if We
sinful children of the twentieth cen.
fury, dare to join our forces with all
generations in calling her blessed. So
may she intercede for us, so may
Jesus pity us, So. may the Father
Himself pardon us, and grant us per
