'IU DUB LHDY 1 The Blessed Virgin Mary, is the MOth6T of our Lord and Savion Jesus Christ. She was chosen by Almighty God from among alJ.vnmen for this singular honor. Upon her soul God lavished most abun- dant and unusual graces that she might properly fulfill thechmies of her sublime office. Through a miracle of divine grace Mary was conceived whhout the stain of original sin -- the only creature so privileged. Jesus was conceived in her pure womb by the power of the Holy Ghost so that Mary alone enjoys the glorious title, Virgin Mothen She thus unites in herself the twin glories of virginity and motherhood. We honor and reverence Mary because God honored her so highly bestowing upon her a four-fold honor: the Immaculate Conception, the Divine Maternity, her Perpetual Virginity and her glorious Assumption into Heaven. We honor and love Mary because Christ honored and loved her. The first miracle in His public life Christ worked at the request of His dear M-ther, changing the water into wine at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee. He listened to His mother on, earth, likewise He will listen also to her petitions in Heaven. Mary is a finite creature, whom we do not adore but honor and venerate. Adoration is given to God alone. But Christ is pleased to have us honor His dear and lovely Mother. Always remember the words of St. Bonaventure, 'If you seek Jesus without Mary, you seek Him in vain.n Yes, this is our Heavenly Queen. We are proud that our school paper, the Marianist bears her name, To her we dedicate our graduation issue of June, 1957. Lorraine Theriault n58n
