1. Peter Howard writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n Today, the Church directs our attention to the importance of calling upon the holy name of \u201cMary\u201d because her name points to her role in salvation history as the \u201cark of salvation\u201d. It is fitting that Mary be called the \u201cark\u201d of salvation as her name also stems from the feminine form of the Latin word for sea, mare. Just as all waters are contained in and distributed by the seas, so are all the graces of Christ contained in Mary and distributed by her to the world. Another significance of Mary\u2019s connection with the seas is that the Church has found refuge in her as the \u201cark of salvation\u201d in the midst of the stormy and destructive seas of the world.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n 2. <\/p>\n The Most Holy Name of Mary, and her title, Mother of God, carved in Greek @MarysShrine<\/a>\nhttps:\/\/t.co\/SJT4o0VsXJ<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fr Lawrence Lew OP (@LawrenceOP) September 12, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
