..Pray For Us Sinners, Now, And At The Hour Of Our Death.

We are sinners. Blind. Sinners generally take things for granted and dont often know the extent or consequence of their deeds. Only through our being brought to a new enlightenement do we see our extreme sinfulness , and this brings me to the hour of death,the hour of ultimate enlightenement, an hour of denial or despair, an hour that could only be passed through by grace alone, that which we beg Mary of is the summit of either our avarice or despondency,and this is our judgement:being hard hearted (pride) or giving up (fear).When confronted with our incapacity to help ourselves, faced with our humanity and the extreme depth of our ills, when all we did, or didnt do, or neglected or ignored are brought right into our face, and we are faced with such great confusion and despair, then, the capacity to let go and trust in the redeeming power of His mercy is our salvation. This instance in which we are brought to face the truth of our humanity and our consequent resolve not to deny nor despair- this moment of truth- lies in the hand of the Blessed Virgin.
