Quote/s of the Day – 27 July – Our Lady Mother of Mercy and Mary’s Saturday
“She is Virgin and Mother,
what will she not be hereafter?
Holy in body, all beautiful in soul,
pure of mind, upright in intelligence,
perfect in feeling, chaste and faithful,
pure of heart and filled with virtue.
… Mary is the new tree of life who,
instead of the bitter fruit picked by Eve,
gives to mankind that sweet fruit
on which the whole world is fed!”
St Ephrem (306-373)
Deacon in Syria,
Father and Doctor of the Church
“I want, very much, to have a little house
built here for me, in which I will show Him,
I will exalt Him and make Him manifest.
I will give Him to the people
in all my personal love,
in my compassion,
in my help, in my protection
because, I am truly your merciful Mother,
yours and all the people who live
united in this land and of all the other people
of different ancestries, my lovers,
who love me, those who seek me,
those who trust in me.”
Our Lady of Guadalupe
to Juan Diego

Mother of Mercy
By St Bonaventure (1217-1274)
Serpahic Doctor
Virgin full of goodness,
Mother of Mercy,
I entrust to thee my body and soul,
my thoughts, my actions,
my life and my death.
O my Queen, help me,
and deliver me from all
the snares of the devil.
Obtain for me the grace
of loving my Lord Jesus Christ,
thy Son,
with a true and perfect love,
and after Him, O Mary,
to love thee with all my heart
and above all things.
Amen
