Sanctified From Your Conception

Dec 8, Feast of The Immaculate Conception
“Blessed are you, Virgin and Mother, sanctified from your conception".

"Just as Jesus is described as the New Adam, Mary is the New Eve. Ephrem wrote: “The two women were pure and simple, Mary and Eve. One of them, however, became the cause of our death and the other, the cause of our life. Eve, by hearing the word of the serpent conceived evil and brought death. Mary, by hearing the Word of God, conceived Jesus and brought life”.

If you ever feel distressed during your day, call upon Our Lady. Just say this simple prayer, “Mary, mother of Jesus, please be a mother to me now.” I must admit, this prayer has never failed me. – Mother Teresa
Happy Mother's Day.

In a series of revelations to St. Maria Faustina Kowalska in the 1930s, our Lord called for a special feast day to be celebrated on the Sunday after Easter.  Today, we know that feast as Divine Mercy Sunday, named by Pope St. John Paul II at the canonization of St. Faustina on April 30, 2000. 

O Christ our God, you are the Ocean of mercy and compassion. Maronite Liturgy

Hosanna Sunday
As we prepare for the great week of the Lord's passion and death, and as we follow the Lord on the way to the cross, may we remain ever faithful to Him who is our Savior and Lord.

In our hands we carry olive branches and with love sing along with the children: “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.”
Hosanna Sunday Morning, second prayer, Maronite Liturgy.
