Ad Jesum per te, Maria : 11/33

The Psalms of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin Mary

By way of preparation for the great Feast of the Annunciation, I am re-posting a daily commentary on each of the Psalms of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin. The commentary includes text published by Father Ethelred L. Taunton in 1903.

Here is an excerpt from the commentary on Psalm 92:

Parata sedes Tua ex tunc : a sæculo Tu es.

Ever since then hath Thy throne been prepared : Thou art from everlasting.

Then, that is, from the making of the round world so sure. The throne of our King is everlasting ; and as St. Bonaventure says, all the hoarded wisdom of eternity is His very Own. His seat, says the Carthusian with the Carmelite, is five-fold :

1. His divine throne, co-equal with the Father : for thus saith the Lord ; The heaven is My throne and earth

My footstool;

2. His hallowed resting-place in the most pure womb of His Mother ;

3. His cross ;

4. the hearts of all who love Him ; and

5. the throne of Doom.

domum Tuam decet sanctitudo, Domine, in longitudinem.

holiness becometh Thy house for ever.

Holiness becometh Thy house ; that is, says Agelli, it is the fit and peculiar attribute of that sacred shrine of His most

pure Body wherein the Godhead dwelt ; it is the fit adornment of the soul of our ever dear and blessed Lady who

for nine months bore her Maker ; it is the peculiar and distinguishing mark of the Church ; it is the token of

Christians who bear in mind the Apostle’s saying : Know ye not that ye are the temple of God and that the Spirit

of God dwelleth in you ? It is no mere passing holiness, but is for ever ; hallowed by the abiding presence of 

God in the Beatific vision.
