MARY, MOTHER OF THE LIVING GOD,
PRAY FOR US.
JOSEPH, HUSBAND OF THE MOTHER OF GOD,
PRAY FOR US.

We dedicate this Saturday to the Virgin Mary, so turn to her, for "she is Queen of heaven, she is Queen of mercy, and she is also the Mother of the only-begotten Son of God - a title which more than anything else commends to us the greatness of her power and loving kindness" (Saint Bernard of Clairvaux). 

SAINT MARIANNE COPE,
SAINT VINCENT ZARAGOZA,
PRAY FOR US.

Today's photo: You see many photos of the sky. It is fascinating how the sky changes day by day, and throughout each day too. This shot was taken yesterday around 3pm.
