But I deeply regret to tell you that Our Lady is being blasphemed by an exhibit showing her holding a k n i f e, a g u n, and a handgrenade amid ads for lingerie at the AKA Gallery in Oklahoma City.
According to press reports, "the weapons being held by the Virgin Mary in Artus" art are embroidered in rose or yellow. The artwork also features vintage ads promoting products for women such as lingerie and hair nets.
"For example, one picture of the Virgin Mary holding a pink-embroidered small h a n d g u n is surrounded by sections of a vintage Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie newspaper ad touting the promotion line "Make Her Over to Please You."
Everyone who read this post, please say an act of reparation for this outrage.
Pax Christi.
An Act of Reparation to the Blessed Virgin Mary
O blessed Virgin, Mother of God, look down in mercy from heaven, where thou art enthroned as Queen, upon me, a miserable sinner, thine unworthy servant. Although I know full well my own unworthiness, yet in order to atone for the offenses that are done to thee by impious and blasphemous tongues, from the depths of my heart I praise and extol thee as the purest, the fairest, the holiest creature of all God's handiwork.
I bless thy holy name, I praise thine exalted privilege of being truly Mother of God, ever virgin, conceived without stain of sin, co-redemptrix of the human race. I bless the Eternal Father who chose thee in an especial way for His daughter; I bless the Word Incarnate who took upon Himself our nature in thy bosom and so made thee His Mother; I bless the Holy Spirit who took thee as His bride. All honor, praise and thanksgiving to the ever-blessed Trinity, who predestined thee and loved thee so exceedingly from all eternity as to exalt thee above all creatures to the most sublime heights.
O Virgin, holy and merciful, obtain for all who offend thee the grace of repentance, and graciously accept this poor act of homage from me thy servant, obtaining likewise for me from thy divine Son the pardon and remission of all my sins. Amen.
