I was sweeping the kitchen earlier this week, and thinking, and it was like the Holy Spirit dumped this little nugget on why intercessory prayers to Mary, specifically the Hail Mary, are so effective. Mary, whose soul reflects the will of God (mirror of justice); being so full of grace and so obedient the demons shame cannot stand to be near or around her for very long. Because satan’s pride rooted the former angels out of Heaven. Our Lady’s obedience to God and the grace conferred upon her for faithfully bringing Jesus Christ in her womb, they cannot bear her presence.
Let’s go through the Hail Mary
Hail Mary full of grace – being full of grace: absent of original sin
The lord is with the – literally God is with her
Blessed are thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus – Blessed by God among all women for her faithfulness and obedience, because of Jesus Christ(her son)
Holy Mary Mother of God – I can’t reduce this much more
pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death – take our petitions to your son. Please our case, just like at the wedding at Cana.
The Hail Mary is almost like a short story/summary, and it its efficacy of intercession are immense, because of the the demons shame.
The demons fear and obey Jesus Christ as God the son, the final judge, but they hate Mary because she is a constant reminder of what they would not do. Serve God.
