62) and several twentieth century popes have officially taught the doctrine of Mary as Mediatrix of all graces, quoting the words of St Bernard: "It is the will of God that we obtain all favours through Mary." The Mediatrix performs this task in intimate union with the Holy Spirit, the Sanctifier, with whom she began the drama of our Lord's Redemption at the Annunciation (cf. For this reason, Vatican II refers to Mary as a "mother to us in the order of grace " ( Lumen Gentium, n. And from the cross at Calvary (Jn 19:26) and as the final gift to humanity, Jesus gives Mary as a spiritual mother to us all: "Son, behold your mother" (cf. Mary mediated Jesus Christ, the Author of all graces, to the world when she agreed to be the human mother of God made man (cf.

Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces Traditionally today is the feast of Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces. In religious art, an eagle shelters Médard from the rain. Ever since, Médard was known as "master of rain" or his patronage against bad weather and who to invoke for good weather. Médard who remained perfectly dry, because an eagle had spread its wings over him. Legend says that once when he was a child a sudden shower fell, soaking everyone except St. Médard (456-545), Bishop of Noyon, France. Pope Leo XIII declared in his Encyclical Octobri Mense (On The Rosary) of September 22, 1891: "With equal truth may it be also affirmed that, by the will of God, Mary is the intermediary through whom is distributed unto us this immense treasure of mercies gathered by God, for mercy and truth were created by Jesus Christ."

Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 27: 1, 4, 13-14ġ After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias.Ģ And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.ģ Jesus therefore went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.Ĥ Now the pasch, the festival day of the Jews, was near at hand.ĥ When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?Ħ And this he said to try him for he himself knew what he would do.ħ Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.Ĩ One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:ĩ There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes but what are these among so many?ġ0 Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. And they consented to him.Ĥ0 And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus and they dismissed them.Ĥ1 And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.Ĥ2 And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus. 36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.ģ7 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.ģ8 And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought ģ9 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God.
