OUR LADY OF LAVANG,
PRAY FOR US.

I heard from a friend that today a shrine of Our Lady of Lavang will be dedicated in the Diocese of Orange on the campus of Christ Cathedral, Garden Grove, CA. As this day is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, I include here a prayer to Our Lady of Lavang, taken from the website of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception located in our nation's capital, Washington, D.C. 

O Mary, Holy Mother of Lavang, Mother of God and our most loving Mother, pour out your abundant blessings upon your children who earnestly implore you. Give us a heart of compassion and charity to build a culture of love and life. Help us to live lives of virtue and hope, so that we may enjoy eternal life and the happiness of the Trinity with you for all eternity. Amen.

SAINT KENELM,
BLESSED JOHN SUGAR AND ROBERT GRISSWOLD,
BLESSED INACIO DE AZEVEDO,
BLESSED THERESE OF SAINT AUGUSTINE AND COMPANIONS,
SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
