Meditation:
"The Blessed Virgin herself told the saint [Bridget], that as a poor sick person, bedridden, suffering, and abandoned, is relieved by words of encouragement and consolation, so are the souls in purgatory relieved by only hearing her name. The mere name of Mary, that name of hope and salvation, and which is frequently invoked by her beloved children in their prison, is a great source of comfort to them; for,' says Novarinus, 'that loving Mother no sooner hears them call upon her than she offers her prayers to God, and these prayers, as a heavenly dew, immediately refresh them in their burning pains."
St. Alphonsus di Liguori, The Glories of Mary, (Tan Books: 1978), 233.
