"Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is With Thee. Blessed Art Thou Among Women, and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy Womb, Jesus"

Someone has edited this recent YouTube video from Phil Veitch by slicing out his recitation of the invocation of the Virgin Mary from the Anglican Office Book.  Beautiful, Phil.  Thank you for the devotion and passion we hear in your voice. We can only hope and pray something Freudian may be taking place here. 

The edited video is going viral in Anglican circles.  It's hilarious.

"Show us Jesus."  Indeed, and seriously now. That's the point of such prayers.  It's not "Mariolatry".  They are wholly christological, but these über-Presbyterians can't even see their own christological heresy.

"Show us Jesus."

Still, early Anglo-Catholics such as Pusey had great reservations about such Marian prayers as well, and for good reason. I wish that their perspective had lasted better among their spiritual descendants.

When I was Orthodox, these prayers were commonplace, especially during Lent and Holy Week. Even though now as an Anglo-Catholic priest such prayer's aren't commonplace in my context, I have no issue with them. They are orthodox, and Orthodox.
