I bud forth delights like a vine, my blossoms become fruit fair and rich.
'Hail, favored one! The Lord is with you.'
(Lk 1:28)
Here is what one source offers for today: 'In unity with Eastern Christianity, and commemorating the dedication in 543 of the New Basilica of St Mary [I was there in the Jubilee Year 2000!], built next to the Temple of Jerusalem, this feast celebrates Mary's "dedication" of herself to God from her infancy, inspired by the Holy Spirit, whose grace had filled her ever since her immaculate conception' (M. Kochanski, Universalis Publishing Ltd, London).
HIS MERCY IS FROM AGE TO AGE TO THOSE WHO FEAR HIM.
(Lk 1:50)
Mary, Vessel of Honor,
pray for us.
