And we see, as it were, the virtue (charity, or whichever) drawing Mary to him. So we think not just vaguely and generally about the Lord’s presence: we think of him in a particular mystery. The mysteries make vivid a key point about grace and Christian virtue: it is given to us through the Incarnation of Christ, to unite us to himself. The Lord is with you – at the Baptism in the Jordan (or whatever mystery). This happiness of Mary, this virtue of Mary: it is grace. Ah, everything about her is a gift from God. We start by saying, “see Mary she is charitable and how happy!”įull of grace.

First we look at her: see Mary, full of charity.Īnd we always recall: “Hail” (Latin Ave, Greek Chaire) is a joy word.

Mary really is charitable, Our Lady of Charity. The point of the Lord’s gift, of grace – and the point of Marian devotion – is that when Christ gives the grace, we really do receive it. If we turn it around, and say, “the Lord is with you – and you have charity,” the danger is that we can think she, and we, don’t really have charity, it’s really just him nearby. Mary is not good by herself, Jesus makes her good.īut see how important it is to begin by looking at Mary.

First we say, “look at Mary.” Now, the point of everything – in Christianity, in the rosary, in Marian devotion – is that Christ is the source of all that is good. Hail Mary – of charity (or whatever virtue). The Hail Mary isn’t there just as a timer – it’s not replaceable with the ABCs. This is a way of focusing ourselves on the words of the Hail Mary. There is also a tradition – John Paul mentions it, and Louis de Montfort makes it almost normative – of naming the virtue or the mystery, or both, within the Hail Mary. Or you could make the first three Hail Mary’s be faith, hope, and charity, and the next seven be the Beatitudes or the Gifts of the Spirit. Sometimes people have a virtue for each mystery, like poverty for the Nativity. It makes sense: what we should pray for more than anything is personal transformation. There is a tradition of praying for the virtues with the Rosary.
