The earth has yielded its fruits; God, our God, has blessed us.

We dedicate this First Saturday of the month to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Hail, Holy Mother, who gave birth to the King who rules heaven and earth (Entrance Antiphon, Mass).

You, my Lady, are my all

With you

have been hidden the unfailing treasures

of truth and grace

of peace and pity

of salvation and wisdom

of glory and honor.

(Adam of Perseigne)

O glorious and happy faith!

O permanent and safe refuge from the storm of time!

The Mother of God is my mother!

(St Anselm)

MARY, MIRROR OF JUSTICE,

PRAY FOR US.
