Fr. Ripperger's Prayer Consecrating the Election to the Virgin Mary
Mary Immaculate, living tabernacle of the Divinity, where the eternal Wisdom lies hidden to be adored and served by angels and men, Queen of heaven and of earth, beneath whose sway are subject all things that are lower than God, Patroness of the United States of America, sorrowful and mindful of our own sinfulness and the sins of our nation, we come to Thee, our refuge and hope. Knowing that our country cannot be saved by our own works and mindful of how much our nation has departed from the ways of Thy Son, we humbly ask that Thou wouldst turn Thine eyes upon our country to bring about its conversion. We consecrate to Thee the integrity of the upcoming election and its outcome, so that what is spiritually and morally best for the citizens of our country may be accomplished, and that all of those who are elected would govern according to the spiritual and moral principles which will bring our nation into conformity with the teachings of Thy Son. Give grace to the citizens of this land so that they will choose leaders according to the Sacred Heart of Thy Son, that His glory may be made manifest, lest we be given the leaders we deserve. Trusting in the providential care of God the Father and Thy maternal care, we have perfect confidence that Thou wilst take care of us and will not leave us forsaken. O Mary Immaculate, pray for us. Amen.
Thank you for posting this. I was unaware of it.
I never understood the hatred and outright rejection of Mary and her veneration. I just assumed it came from Christians who emphasized the God aspect of Jesus over the human aspect. They usually claim that Jesus didn't need parents, that He was God and Mary was just a vessel. They ignore the fact that Jesus didn't come into the world as God, but as one of us, a human infant. A human infant is the most powerless, helpless, and defenseless creature on earth, and that is exactly how Jesus was born. He needed not only for Mary to bring him into the world, but he needed parents to protect and nurture him until his time was at hand.
After listening to Fr. Ripperger only a few times, I understood the root of that rejection. Satan hates and despises Mary for her lifelong obedience and sacrifice to follow God's will, which of course led to his defeat by Jesus. It makes so much more sense from that perspective. If Mary had refused, which she had the free will to do, there would have been no Jesus on earth, no defeating Satan, and no salvation for us. We owe our salvation not just to Jesus, but to Mary, and she is the ultimate role model for us.
I wonder how anyone can claim to love Jesus and disrespect His mother at the same time. There is no doubt how much He loved her and understood the depth of her sorrow when He was crucified. While dying in agony on the cross, He actually took time to make sure she had a place to live afterwards.
No despises Mary more than Lucifer, thus the fall. He's just trying to get as many to follow him that he can.
