Would you like to see Mother Mary before you
die?It’s a simple way which the Blessed Mother herself revealed to St.
Mechtilde. It is known as the "Three Hail Mary Devotion," and
consists of saying
three times each day the Hail Mary with the invocation "O my Mother,
preserve me this day/ (or night) from mortal sin”
In the Book of
Revelations of St. Mechtilde we read:
"While Mechtilde was beseeching
the glorious Virgin to assist her in her hour of death, Our Lady appeared to
her and said: 'I will certainly. But I also want you to say three special Hail
Mary's to me every day.
'The first will be in honor of God
the Father, Whose omnipotence raised my soul so high above every other creature
that, after God, I have the greatest power in Heaven and on earth. In the hour
of your death, I will use that power of God the Father to keep any hostile
power far from you.
'The second Hail Mary will be said
in honor of the Son of God, Who communicated His inscrutable wisdom to me. In
the hour of your death, I will fill your soul with the light of that wisdom, so
that all the darkness of ignorance and error will be dispelled.
'The third Hail Mary will be in
honor of God the Holy Ghost, Who filled my soul with the sweetness of His love
and tenderness and mercy. In your last hour, I will then change the bitterness
of death into divine sweetness and delight."
Practice:
Say
Three Hail Marys in the morning
"O my
Mother, preserve me from mortal sin during this day,"
Say
Three Hail Marys in the afternoon
"O my
Mother, preserve me from mortal sin during this day,"
Say
Three Hail Marys in the evening
"O my Mother, preserve me from mortal sin
during this night."
