Morning Psalter – Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Mary the dawn, Christ the Perfect Day.
Mary the gate, Christ the Heavenly Way!
Mary the root, Christ the Mystic Vine.
Mary the grape, Christ the Sacred Wine!
Mary the wheat, Christ the Living Bread.
Mary the stem, Christ the Rose Blood-red!
Mary the font, Christ the Cleansing Flood.
Mary the cup, Christ the Saving Blood!
Mary the temple, Christ the temple’s Lord.
Mary the shrine, Christ the God Adored!
Mary the beacon, Christ the Haven’s Rest.
Mary the mirror, Christ the Vision Blest!
Mary the mother, Christ the mother’s Son.
By all things blest, while endless ages run.
Amen.
Passionate Catholic.
Being a Catholic is a way of life - a love affair "Religion must be like the air we breathe..."- St John Bosco
Prayer is what the world needs combined with the example of our lives which testify to the Light of Christ.
This site, which is now using the Traditional Calendar, will mainly concentrate on Daily Prayers, Novenas and the Memorials and Feast Days of our friends in Heaven, the Saints who went before us and the great blessings the Church provides in our Catholic Monthly Devotions.
This Site is placed under the Patronage of my many favourite Saints and especially, St Paul.
"For the Saints are sent to us by God
as so many sermons.
We do not use them, it is they who move us
and lead us, to where we had not expected to go.”
Charles Cardinal Journet (1891-1975)
This site adheres to the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church and all her teachings. .
PLEASE ADVISE ME OF ANY GLARING TYPOS etc - In June 2021 I lost 100% sight in my left eye and sometimes miss errors. Thank you and I pray all those who visit here will be abundantly blessed. Pax et bonum! 🙏

Dearest friend and brother Phong and beloved sister Stacy
Oh how wonderful it is to hear from you both again!
It has been a difficult time and remains so (especially as there are two Memorials – one still to come) but I know your prayers and those of our Refuge and Mother, our Patrons, our Guardian Angels and all the great and little Saints in Heaven will support me now and us all always.
Bless you both – God love you!>🙏🤗💘💘
