Ad Jesum per te, Maria : 17/33

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.

 

 King David, author of the Psalms, by
Willem Vrelant, Bruges, Belgium.

👉  Psalm 112

Here is an excerpt from the commentary:

A solis ortu usque ad occasum : laudabile Nomen Domini. 

From the rising of the sun to the going down : the Lord’s Name is worthy of praise.

Here is a further instruction. God’s praise is to be not merely ceaseless but universal ; not restricted by the limits of Judea, but extending to the utmost bounds of the earth. This is achieved by the Sacrifice of the Mass which was foretold by the prophet Malachias : From the rising of the sun till the going down of the same My Name shall be great among the Gentiles : and in every place incense shall be offered to My Name and a clean oblation : For My Name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of Hosts. In which prophecy there is exactly the same three-fold proclamation of the Holy Name, pointing, as in the Psalm, to the same mystery.

Prayers
