FEAST OF THE MOST HOLY NAME OF MARY.
FEAST OF THE MOST HOLY NAME OF MARY.
"Jesus told his disciples a parable: “Can a blind person guide a blind person? Will not both fall into a pit?
"No disciple is superior to the teacher; but when fully trained, every disciple will be like his teacher.
"Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own?
“How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove that splinter in your eye,’ when you do not even notice the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite! Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter in your brother’s eye.” (Luke 6: 39 - 42).
Friday 12th September 2025 in the 23rd Week of Ordinary Time is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Mary.
Almost back to back on the celebration of the Birthday of Mary (September 8th) is the feast of her Most Holy Name of Mary, September 12.
The Church in her teaching authority interpretes for us the role of Mary in the economy of salvation.
Here is what the Church teaches about the feast of today, the Most Holy Name of Mary:
"God the Father is glorified by the exalted role in salvation of the Blessed Virgin Mary."
Thus her name is a name of honor, to be venerated and called upon with filial trust and devotion." (Roman Missal).
The Blessed Pope Innocent XI placed the feast in the liturgical calendar in thanksgiving for the victory of Christians over Moslems on September 12, 1683.
Who did Jesus call the blind in today's Gospel?
"Let them alone; they are blind guides (of the blind). If a blind person leads a blind person, both will fall into a pit.” (Matthew 15: 14).
Do you know any Pharisees in your community?
"I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and acknowledgment of God rather than burnt offerings." (Hosea 6: 6).
When a blind judge guides another blind judge, will not the two judges fall into the ditch?
Jesus defines His mission thus:
"I was born and came into the world for this one purpose, to speak about the truth. Whoever belongs to the truth listens to me." (John 18: 37).
We all have tendencies to pharasaical attitude of being overbearing in our scrutiny and criticism of other people. Use the Sacrament of Reconciliation to erode the inclination to criticism, complaining and condemnation of our neighbors. No criticism. No complaints. No condemn. Say: NO CCC when tempted to say or think of anything negative of another person.
"Many priests do not have a real and practical faith in My Eucharistic presence. Do they not know that the Eucharist encloses within itself all the merits of My Passion? Let them recover the faith of their childhood. Let them come to find Me there where I am waiting for them and I, for My part, shall work miracles of grace and holiness in them." (IN SINU JESU Monday, October 29, 2007).
In September, the Church honors the Sorrowful Heart of Mary. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Sorrows obtain for us mercies from her Son Jesus.
