In Honor of the Holy Name of Mary
These verses are taken from the original Mass to celebrate the Holy Name of Mary, which was originally September 12th, to mark the liberation of Vienna from a moslem invasion. It was there that Mary aided the Christian army through Her intercession to Her Son to rid the European continent of the sickening scourge of islam, a religion that claims God will reward those who kill.
Here from the Introit of the Mass are the verses depicting Mary as the “Queen” who stands at the “right hand” of the King. In order for a more complete picture, we have included verses that were originally left out of the Mass for the sake of brevity. The verses in the Mass are taken from the Douay-Rheims translation of the Scriptures, the first complete English Bible in the world. The Douay-Rheims translation is taken from the official Bible of the Church — the Latin Vulgate.
There is NO OTHER OFFICIAL BIBLE of the Universal Church. As a result of Vatican II, Catholics are allowed to read other translations, but the Latin Vulgate remains the Church’s first and official translation of the Scriptures. So please, if you are using another Bible, that’s fine, but don’t be surprised if yours does not say the words we quote. If it doesn’t, that means that the Bible you have is NOT correct. It is WRONG!
There is only ONE INSPIRED VERSION of the Bible in which the Holy Spirit saw fit to record God’s Word to mankind. Do you think the Holy Spirit, who is God, made a mistake in getting the words right the first time until some other guys came along and corrected His Word? That is the reason the official translator, St. Jerome, has the title Saint in front of his name. He was inspired by the Holy Spirit to translate the Scriptures for the Church Jesus founded. Do you know of any other Bible translator who can make that claim and has the title of Saint?
For 15 centuries, the Lord God saw fit to have ONE and only ONE translation of His Word.
Was it God that changed His mind or was it mankind that changed it?
Christ, as it is written, the same yesterday, today and forever!
So please get rid of your “King James Bible” or any other such nonsense. Our Bible is not named after a bisexual man — King James, whose male and favorite lover was the Duke of Buckingham. Our Bible is and always will be the Inspired Word of God from the Holy Spirit handed down to us by St. Jerome in the Latin Vulgate. For the proper English translation, it is necessary to use the Douay-Rheims which finished the New Testament in 1582 and completed the Old Testament in 1609. End of story.
Why is this so important? Check the changes between the Latin Vulgate and any other Bible and you will see who gets the proverbial short end of the stick: Her Name is Mary, the very Woman, who, as the Latin Vulgate clearly teaches, will “crush” the serpent’s head.
Here, in honor, of the Mother of our Lord, on the Feast of Her Holy Name, is Psalm 44 and its allusions, not only to Jesus, but to His Queen.
Verses 7-12, 17-18:
Thy Throne O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of Thy Kingdom is a sceptre of righteousness. Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.
Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume Thy garments, from the ivory houses: out of which 10 the daughters of kings have delighted Thee in Thy glory.
The Queen stood on Thy right hand, in gilded clothing; surrounded with variety. Hearken, O Daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: and forget thy people and thy father’s house.
And the King shall greatly desire thy beauty; for He is the Lord thy God, and Him they shall adore. …
Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: thou shalt make them princes over all the Earth. They shall remember thy Name throughout all generations. Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
In the first two paragraphs, we clearly see the correlation to the Lord Jesus as God and the fact that God, His Father anoints Him with the oil of gladness and places Him above all mankind.
In the following paragraphs, we see the Holy Spirit alluding to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. Jesus is the King of Kings and only one Queen, like Bathsheeba at her son Solomon’s side, stands at the Right Hand of the Son of God.
For Jesus stands at the Right Hand of the Father, and the Holy Spirit, as depicted in Christian art for two millennia, flies above the Two forming the Triangle that completes the Mystery of the Most Holy Trinity.
Since God the Father sits at the LEFT Hand of Jesus, who, then sits at the Lord Jesus' Right Hand? Psalm 44 clearly answers it. A Queen, His Mother!
And if there was any confusion as to who this Queen could be, Psalm 44 again clearly informs us that the world shall remember Her Name throughout all generations, an unmistakable reference to Mary’s Magnificat when She states that “all generations shall call me blessed!” Luke 1:48.
For those who think our dissertation on the importance of biblical translations is nonsense, we will end this article with this remarkable and sad fact.
We were in St. Peter’s Square in October of the Great Jubilee Year as pilgrims were handed a gift of the Scriptures for free as a remembrance of the event. With the Church’s Great Jubilee logo on it, we were shocked when we read the Gospel of Luke according to this “authorized” but “unofficial” version.
In the Magnificat, Mary was quoted in Luke 1:48 as stating, “all people shall call me happy.”
We don’t know about others, but we are certain there is quite a significant difference between the words “blessed” and “happy.”
On this day — now dedicated with the loss of the true meaning for this feast of Mary’s great victory over islam by the “new” Church that changes the words of its Queen — we bless the Holy Name of Mary and thank Her for incredible intercession as our Advocate, Mediatrix and Co-redemptrix.
May She intercede for the Church as well and restore it this year to its former glory in honor of the Name of Her Holy Son, we pray.
