My Queen! my Mother!
I give myself entirely to thee
And to show my devotion to thee,
I consecrate to thee, this day,

Wherefore, good Mother,
as I am thine,
keep me, guard me,
and protect me as thy own.

The Memorare
By St Bernard (1090-1153)

REMEMBER,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known,
that anyone who fled
to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thy intercession
was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins,
my Mother,
to thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions
but in thy mercy
hear and answer me.
Amen

Sweet Heart of Mary be my salvation.

An Indulgence of 300 days.
A Plenary Indulgence once a month under the usual conditions, if repeated daily

Jesus and Mary, most chastely
all the days of my life.

Quote/s of the Day – 31 March – Goodbye to “The Month of Saint Joseph”

The Almighty has concentrated in St Joseph,
as in a sun of unrivalled lustre,
the combined light and splendour
of all the other Saints.

St Gregory Nanzianzen (330-390)
Father & Doctor of the Church

Both Mary and Joseph had made a vow
to remain virgins all the days of their lives
and God, wished them to be united
in the bonds of marriage,
not because they repented of the vow already made
but, to be confirmed in it and,
to encourage each other to continue
in this holy relation.

St Francis de Sales (1567-1622)
Doctorof Charity of the Church

Since we all must die,
we should cherish a special devotion to St. Joseph
that he may obtain for us a happy death.

St Alphonsus Maria de Liguori (1696-1787)
Most Zealous Doctor

Go to Joseph!
Have recourse with special confidence to St Joseph,
for his protection is most powerful,
as he is the Patron of the Universal Church.

Pope Pius IX (1792-1878)

Hail, full of grace,
the Lord is with thee,
blessed art thou among women

Luke 1:28

Thou alone and Thy Mother,
are in all things fair,
there is no flaw in Thee
and no stain in Thy Mother.

St Ephrem (306-373)
Father & Doctor of the Church

You have guarded the integrity
of the temple [of your body];
you have kept your tabernacle free from all sin,
so that the Father becomes your guest,
the Holy Ghost overshadows you
and the Only-begotten Son Incarnate
is born of you.

St Hesychius of Jerusalem (Died c450)
Priest, Exegete, Father

O Mother blest!
And chosen Shrine
wherein the Architect Divine,
Whose Hand contains the earth and sky
vouchsafed in hidden guise to lie;
Blest in the message Gabriel brought;
blest in the work, the Spirit wrought;
Most blest, to bring to human birth,
the long desired of all the earth!

St Venantius Fortunatus (c530 – c609)
Bishop, Poet, Theologian, Father

“Let all the children of the Catholic Church,
who are so very dear to us, hear these words of ours.
With a still more ardent zeal for piety, religion and love,
let them continue to venerate, invoke
and pray, to the most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God,
conceived without original sin.
Let them fly with utter confidence
to this most sweet Mother of mercy and grace
in all dangers, difficulties, needs, doubts and fears.
Under her guidance,
under her patronage,
under her kindness and protection,
nothing is to be feared; nothing is hopeless.
Because, while bearing toward us, a truly motherly affection
and having in her care, the work of our salvation,
she is solicitous about the whole human race.
And since, she has been appointed by God,
to be the Queen of Heaven and Earth
and is exalted above all the Choirs of Angels and Saints
and, even stands at the Right Hand,
of her only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord,
she presents our petitions in a most efficacious manner.
What she asks, she obtains.
Her pleas can never be unheard!

the Immaculate Conception
