Month of Mary: Help of Christians
On the occasion of the closing of the conclave and the election of a new Pope, let us ask God to grant His Pontiff the wisdom to steer the boat of Peter out of the terrible whirlwinds created by the Second Vatican Council. May the Virgin Mary, Help of Christians, come to our aid.
As it is through Mary that God came into the world for the first time, in a state of humiliation and annihilation, may we not also say that it is through Mary also that He will come the second time, as the whole Church expects Him to come, to rule everywhere and to judge the living and the dead? Who knows how and when that will be accomplished?
I do know that God, whose thoughts are as far removed from ours as heaven is distant from earth, will come in a time and in a manner least men expect the least, even those who are most learned and most versed in Holy Scripture, which is very obscure on this subject.
We ought also to believe that toward the End of Time, and perhaps sooner than we think, God will raise up great men full of the Holy Ghost and imbued with the spirit of Mary, through whom this divine Sovereign will work great wonders in the world, so as to destroy sin and to establish the Kingdom of Jesus Christ, her Son, upon the ruins of the kingdom of this corrupt world; and these holy men will succeed by means of this devotion, of which I so but give here the outline and which my deficiency only impairs.
