Bishop Bossuet On Devotion To Our Lady

Posted by Dim Bulb on May 1, 2009

First, then, on what basis is our devotion to Mary
founded ? " No one," says the Apostle, " can lay any
foundation but the one that has been laid that is,
Jesus Christ." Now, in a pre-eminent manner, Our
Divine Saviour is the foundation of the honour we pay
to the Blessed Virgin ; because we have received Him,
in fact, through her. God predestined Mary, before all
time, to be the means of giving Jesus Christ to the
world. Having called her to so glorious a ministry,
He did not choose that she should be a merely passive
channel of His grace. He made her, farther, a volun-
tary instrument who should contribute to the great
work by the use of her own will. Is not this clear
from the manner in which the Incarnation was
announced to Mary ? When the moment for accomplishing
that Mystery which has kept all nature
expectant throughout the ages has arrived, the
Eternal Father sends an angel to make it known to
her ; and the angel awaits the maiden's decision, so
that the great act shall not be performed without her
consent. The moment she has given this the heavens
are opened, the Son of God is made man, and the
world has a Saviour. 

Hence, the love and longing of Mary were in a
measure necessary for our salvation. St. Thomas
declares that "the fulness of grace she then received
was so great that it brought her to a most intimate
union with the Author of Grace; that this fitted her to
receive into her holy womb the One who contains all
graces ; and that thus, in conceiving Him, she became
in some sort the source of that grace which He was to
pour forth over all mankind and so concurred in giving
the human race its Deliverer ". 

There is a necessary consequence of this fact which
is not sufficiently borne in mind : namely, that God
having once elected to give us Jesus Christ through
the Blessed Virgin, this order of things can never
change ; for the gifts of God are "without repentance".
It is, and always will be, true, that having once
received the Author of our salvation through her, we
shall necessarily continue to receive help towards that
salvation in the same manner. The Incarnate Word
is the universal principle of grace ; but the Christian
life in its various phases consists in the particular
applications of the grace proceeding from this principle
to the individual needs of each soul. Mary, having
been once chosen as the means by which grace should
come into the world, has, as a natural consequence, her
share in its application to the souls of men for their
salvation. Continue Reading (start at last Paragraph on pg. 3)
