"the Lord has a plan for each of us"

"Mary received her vocation from the lips of an angel. The Angel does not enter our room visibly, but the Lord has a plan for each of us, he calls each one of us by name. Our task is to learn how to listen, to perceive his call, to be courageous and faithful in following him and, when all is said and done, to be found trustworthy servants who have used well the gifts given us."  ~Pope Benedict XVI, 9/11/06

Dear Mary, Virgin most faithful, grant me, I beg you, a share of your courage and faith in following your Beloved Son Jesus wherever He leads me.  With you, may I always magnify the Lord!  Amen.
