On Sept. 12 the Church venerates the Holy Name of the Blessed Virgin Mary because of her unique privilege as the holiest of creatures, the Mother of God and the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Her name is therefore a royal one of the highest order, and as such, should be given the greatest honor after that of her Divine Son, Jesus Christ. Instituted in 1513, the feast commemorates all the privileges given to Mary by God and all the graces we have received through her intercession and mediation. To learn more, listen to Franciscan Media's Saint of the Day.
Celebrate today by praying and reflecting on this feast with the Litany of the Holy Name of Mary.
Meditate and pray the 'Ave Maria' (Latin for 'Hail Mary') by Franz Schubert, one of the best-known musical settings of this famous prayer to our Blessed Mother.
