As we continue to encourage pro-life groups across the nation to bring Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary, we pause to reflect on Our Lady’s central, God-ordained role in stopping the soul-stealing abortion giant.

These reflections are excerpted from a Morning Meditation at religiousbookshelf.com:

One of the titles which is the most encouraging for poor sinners and under which the Church teaches us to invoke Mary, in the Litany of Loretto, is that of “Refuge of sinners.” Therefore a devout author exhorts all sinners to take refuge under the mantle of Mary: “Fly, O Adam and Eve, and all you, their children, who have outraged God, fly and take refuge in the bosom of this good Mother, for know you not that she is your only city of refuge?”

In the first Chapter of the Book of Genesis we read that God made two great lights; a greater light to rule the day; a lesser light to rule the night (Gen. i. 16). Cardinal Hugo says that “Christ is the greater light to rule the just, and Mary the lesser to rule sinners”; meaning that the sun is a figure of Jesus Christ, whose light is enjoyed by the just who live in the clear day of Divine grace; and that the moon is a figure of Mary, by whose means those who are in the night of sin are enlightened. Since Mary is this auspicious luminary, and is so for the benefit of poor sinners, should any one have been so unfortunate as to fall into the night of sin, what is he to do? Innocent III replies, “Whoever is in the night of sin, let him cast his eyes on the moon, let him implore Mary.” Since he has lost the light of the sun of justice by losing the grace of God, let him turn to the moon, and beseech Mary; and she will certainly give him light to see the misery of his state, and strength to leave it without delay. St. Methodius says that “by the prayers of Mary well nigh countless sinners are converted.”

When we fail to put Our Lady front and center at Planned Parenthood, we fail those poor sinners who are most in need of Christ’s light to illumine their present miserable state of sin. When we fail to give Our Lady of place of honor on the sidewalk at Planned Parenthood, we fail in our mission of mercy; we fail to bring the one ordained by Christ to enlighten the souls who need Him the most.

When we bring Jesus to Planned Parenthood through Mary, we bring the illumination that she reflects from the face of Christ to all poor sinners, ourselves included, and in a special way to those who work at Planned Parenthood, teens and young people who are victimized and sexualized by Planned Parenthood, and those who go there to end the lives of their children.

Mary, please give us light to see the misery engendered by Planned Parenthood, and give all those who work there and those who are customers there the grace to leave it without delay. Blessed Mother, bring conversion on our land and stop Planned Parenthood.
