8th Day of Christmas: Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God

In the bush seen by Moses
as burning yet unconsumed
we recognize the preservation
of your glorious virginity
O Holy Mother of God!


Mother of the Church.

What a blessed feast!  O Mary!  Mother of God!  Mediatrix of men to God!  Refuge of all our hopes!  Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.  Amen.

One thing that has been impressed upon me is that it is of extreme importance for us to support our bishops and submit every devout initiative to the approval of the Church and her ministers. This, I am convinced, is key to the triumph of the Church and our salvation.
