Our Morning Offering – 15 May – “Mary’s Month” – Friday of the Fifth Week of Easter
My Lady, My Refuge and my Strength
By St Germanus (c 634- c 733)
Patriarch of Constantinople
My refuge and my strength
My Lady,
my refuge, life and help,
my armour and my boast,
my hope and my strength,
grant that I may enjoy
the ineffable, inconceivable gifts of your Son,
your God and our God,
in the heavenly kingdom.
For I know surely
that you have power to do as you will,
since you are Mother of the most High.
Therefore, Lady most pure,
I beg you
that I may not be disappointed in my expectations
but may obtain them, O Spouse of God,
who bore Him, who is the expectation of all,
Our lord Jesus Christ,
true God and master of all things,
visible and invisible,
to whom belongs all glory, honour and respect,
now and always and through endless ages.
Amen

Buenas tardes. Quiero agradecer por tan bella oración a la Virgen María. Mi refugio y mi fuerza. Nuestra madre Santísima. Siempre con nosotros. Me lleno de dicha leer tan lindas palabras para nuestra Madre. Les pido una disculpa Leo el Inglés y lo entiendo no al 100%, al escucharlo lo entiendo poco voy hilando las palabras, pero escribirlo se me dificulta un poco más. Se me haría fácil usar un traductor pero no sería leal. Pero me gusta hacer el intento de leer las lecturas que envían. Muy hermosas. Gracias por dedicar su tiempo. Para enviarlas. Mis bendiciones para ustedes y cuidense mucho.Dejo en sus oraciones por favor a mi familia Flores Escobedo, a mis hijas para acercarla más a Dios, Nuestro Padre Jesús y a Nuestra Madre María. Y a mi esposo que cuando se reactiven las actividades encuentre trabajo. Antes de la pandemia había hecho examen para un trabajo y quedo pendiente por lo de la pandemia si lo tomaban en cuenta para su contrato de trabajo que tanto necesitamos para cubrir las necesidades. Y bendiciones para mis ventas. Muchas gracias por sus atenciones y cuidense mucho. Dios los siga bendiciendo. Para seguir llevándonos a la lectura la meditación y la oración.
Mis saludos más cordiales: María Escobedo.

Thank you Maria!
I am so blessed to have you here with me and thankful that you have found love and solace in the prayers and meditations.
I hope you can understand my words – I can understand some of yours – not too well but well enough to let you know that I will be adding your whole family to my prayers every single day. That your husband may find a good job, your daughters draw closer to the Church and to our holy God and you too, that you also may find or be successful in the job you applied for.
I will be praying for you in our daily Rosary too and I would beg you – all your family – with the daughters to set a time every single day and pray the Rosary for all these urgent needs.
This whole situation the world is in is causing such immense suffering – but keep trusting our Lord and keep your eyes fixed on Him!
My love to you and all the family.
Be strong in our Holy Mother and Jesus Christ our Lord – “I will not leave you orphans!”
