“At length he conducts us – how could it be otherwise? – to the Supper-room, where the Apostles and Mary were together and where the result of their prayer with her is that the Holy Ghost descended upon them in the form of tongues of fire. He refers to the Apostles in the Supper-room, moreover, as praying and persisting in prayer with Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Let us also pray with Mary for that Spirit. May she not only protect and guide us on our way through life, as she did St. John; may she not only live in our minds as she did in St. John’s, but may she make us understand what St. John has told us regarding her: that she is for us, even in the most close union with God, an example and a Mediatrix who can procure for us the grace of having God become man in our souls also, one with us, the eternal Son of the Father, through the wonderful indwelling of the Holy Trinity, a source of vision and love.”
St. Titus Brandsma
