Never was it known...

...that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.

Praying for all of our priests: especially those I link to, those who read me, those who are friends or were friends, those whom I offended or annoyed, those I have lost contact with, those who have heard my confessions, given me communion, saved my dying family members, smiled at me, spoke to me - I'm praying for every single priest I have ever known and those I have not, and those most dear to my heart.

.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine 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.
