Salutation
to the Glory of Mary
By St. John Eudes
This salutation was found in a
book
belonging
to St. Margaret Mary after her death, and was promoted faithfully
by Fr. Paul of Mall, O.S.B., Belgian
Priest
[1824-1896]

The holy Benedictine, Père
Paul
de Moll,
was born in 1824. His life was spent in great sanctity, in
extraordinary
virtue, and in working wonders. Early in his religious life,
being
at the point of death,
Our Blessed Lord with Our Lady, St. Joseph
and
St. Benedict appeared to him and said:
"Be healed! . . . I will grant all
that
thou ask of Me for others." He died at the Abbey of Termonde in
1896,
and three years later his body was found intact from corruption.
His Cause is now in Rome.
At each recitation of this prayer
so
pleasing
to Mary, let us offer to her through the hands of Père Paul, one
of the Apostate Countries of today, begging her blessing upon it and
her
intercession for its conversion.
It is requested that all undertake
to
widely spread
and make known this Salutation to the Glory of Mary.
"This Salutation is so
beautiful!
Recite
it daily. From her throne in Heaven the Blessed Virgin will bless
you, and you must make the sign of the Cross. Yes! Yes! if only
you
could see ----
Our
Lady blesses you. I know it."
"Offered for the conversion of a
sinner
it would
be impossible not to be granted."
[Père Paul de Moll, O.S.B.]
