1728 (Diar From the Diary Saint Faustina’s

of St. Faustina August 5, 1935. The Feast of Our Lady ofC Mercyorner

I prepared for this feast with greater zeal that in

previous years. On the morning of the feast itself, I experienced an inner struggle at the thought that I must leave this Congregation which enjoys such special protection from Mary. This struggle lasted through the meditation and through the first Mass as well. During the second Mass, I turned to our Holy Mother, telling her that it was difficult for me to separate myself from this Congregation… “ which is under Your special protection, O Mary.” The I saw the Blessed Virgin, unspeakably beautiful. She came down from the altar to my kneeler, held me close to herself and said to me, I am Mother to you all, thanks to the unfathomable mercy of God. Most pleasing to Me is that soul which faithfully carries out the will of God. She gave me to understand that I had faithfully fulfilled the will of God and had thus found favor in His eyes. Be courageous. Do not fear apparent obstacles, but fix your gaze upon the Passion of My Soon, and in this way you will be victorious.

God the Father gathered all the waters together and called them the seas… He gathered all his graces together and called them Mary (Maria).

St. Louis de Montfort Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary

December 8, 2020- December 8, 2021

Saint Paul VI pointed out that Joseph concretely expressed his fatherhood ‘by making his life a sacrificial service to the mystery of the incarnation and its redemptive purpose. He employed his legal authority over the Holy Family to devote himself completely to them in his life and work. He turned his human vocation to domestic love into a superhuman oblation of himself, his heart and all his abilities, a love placed at the service of the Messiah who was growing to maturity in his home’.”
