In Hail Full of Grace, Mother Loyola brings her full talent for
storytelling to bear on the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary. Like a
tourguide to the Holy Land, she brings the reader along on a
journey through the lives of our Lord and of his Blessed Mother. We
experience, through her vivid illustration, the breathless
anticipation, the drudgery and hardship, the depths of sorrow and
despair, and the heights of joy unimaginable. No detail escapes her
notice as she travels on, until her readers feel less that they
have meditated upon the mysteries of the Rosary, and rather more
that they have experienced them firsthand.
MANY circumstances will determine the character of our preparation
for the visit of a guest-his rank, his relations with us, the
object of his visit, and perhaps Onr special needs at the time. But
one disposition will ensure its fitness and its acceptableness in
every caso. Let him but hear "Welcome" from our lips, or rather see
"Welcome " in our face, and he will be satisfied. "Welcome" greets
the sovereign in letters of light. It is seemly on the lips of the
poorest peasant, of the casual acquaintance, of the intimate
friend, of the parent, and of the child It never tires, it never
grows monotonous or superfluous. For it takes a new meaning with
every change of circumstance affecting our guest or ourselves. If
either is joyous or sad, wronged, weary, anxious, burdened,
disturbed-it suits itself to every need. Our Lord is one of us and
like us in all things, sin excepted. His Heart responds like ours
to the sound of "Welcome " It beat quicker as, tired at evening
with His daily toil, He crossed the threshold of His house at
Nazareth and read it in Mary's face. As He saw it stamped clear and
bright all the house over at Bethany. As He heard Martha.'s
greeting, reverent yet hearty, and her sister's whisper inaudible
to all but Him. So sweet to His ear is its sound, that He
condescends to invite it: "Zacheus, make haste and come down, for
this day I must abide in thy house. And he came down and received
Him with joy." "And they drew nigh to the town whither they were
going, and He made as though He would go farther. But they
constrained Him, saying: stay with us, because it is towards
evening, and the day is now far spent. And He went in with them."
