Historic Marian Feastdays

Ave Maria! Elizabeth Scalia, whose blog The Anchoress always stimulates my mind and stretches my heart, even if I don't totally agree with her, provided in her post of February 11 "a partial list of recent historical events that have occurred on days set aside to honor the Theotokos, the God-bearer, who delivered unto the world, a savior." How right it is that we hail Our Lady as "Virgin most powerful ... most merciful ... most faithful!"

Mother most wonderful,

pray for us, your children,

who love and honor you.

And keep us close to your Beloved Son, Jesus,

who is forever the light of the world.

Amen!
