1st Saturday

This picture is Our Lady of Holy Hope.

Today we honor the Blessed Mother. We are invited to the marriage at Cana. Marriage is a great Sacrament. It is to be enjoyed by a heterosexual union, between a man and a woman. Period! Our Blessed Mother didn't say much in the Holy Scriptures, but when she did, it is well worth listening to and heeding. At Cana, all she said according to Scripture was: "Do whatever He tells you to do." How much clearer can it get than that? I'm going to make this short, so am taking a prayer from tomorrow, and is dedicated to the Virgin.

Grant, O Lord, we beseech Thee, that we thy servants may enjoy constant health of body and mind; and by the glorious intercession of Blessed Mary, ever a Virgin, be delivered from all present sorrows, and come to that joy which is eternal. Amen.
