'Listen and let it penetrate your heart, my dear little son. Do not fear any illness or vexation, anxiety or pain. Am I not here who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle? In the crossing of my arms? Is there anything else you need'?-Words of Our Lady to St. Juan Diago-Guadalupe 1531
Aquero came, and Bernadette saw her approaching this time from the recesses of the grotto. Her heart was beating wildly, but she was determined that the woman in white would identify herself this time. On the fourth attempt, the vision stopped smiling and joined her hands in prayer, raising her eyes to heaven. "I am the Immaculate Conception," the woman told her.-Words of Our Lady to Bernadette Soubirous 1858
'I am the Lady of the Rosary', 'Pray the rosary, to obtain peace for the world.'-Our Lady at Fatima 1917

Beautiful picture!
Mary, you desire so much to see Jesus loved. You love us too so we ask you for a great personal love of Jesus.
Your Son grants whatever you ask. Pray that we may never lose His grace, that we may grow in holiness from day to day.
Through His sufferings and yours on Calvary, bring us to a happy death, that having loved Jesus and you, Our Mother, on earth, we may share your joy in loving God forever in heaven.
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, pray for us!

The Kolbe referred to in Post #25 by Nac Mac is not the same Kolbe in my post. To be perfectly clear I am reffering to St. Maximilllion Marie Kolbe of Auswitch (sp).

The newest member to this thread, Nac Mac Feegle, is probably a retread. Anyone recognize him?

"Always curious about these non-biblical dates."
A lot of these "non-biblical" dates were derived by the Fathers from OT typology. I can't remember the reason for 8th December as date for the Immaculate Conception, but I have got the typology for Jesus' conception on 15th March somewhere. (If you are interested I could dig it out - as its you!)
Your old friend Gerry Matatics is the expert on these things!
Hope all is well with you!

And to think of it -- it's from the Bible!
Oh! I remember!! Some Catholics DO read the Bible!

***July 16th is already taken--sorry. It's the Feast of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel and is honored world-wide by Carmelites; it's their very special day. ***
Maybe we can celebrate both -- I suggest a huge ice cream Sundae with caramel topping and a few nuts (in honor of my inclusion of a few other selected Proddies in my team).
The Carmellites can provide special music!
BTW: I have been to Mt. Carmel and it has a really cool statue of Elijah at the adjacent monastery. Like Elijah we could call fire down on the lavendar priesthood who nance around the altar.

Let us ask for the blessings of Our Lady of Perpetual Help on this day of her glorious nativity:
Behold at thy feet, O Mother of Perpetual Help, a wretched sinner who has recourse to thee and confides in thee. O Mother of mercy, have pity on me. I hear thee called by all the refuge and the hope of sinners: be then, my refuge and my hope. Assist me, for the love of Jesus Christ; stretch forth thy hand to a miserable fallen creature who recommends himself to thee, and who devotes himself to thy service for ever. I bless and thank Almighty God, who in His mercy has given me this confidence in thee, which I hold to be a pledge of my eternal salvation. It is true that in the past I have miserably fallen into sin, because I had not recourse to thee. I know that, with thy help, I shall conquer. I know, too, that thou wilt assist me, if I recommend myself to thee; but I fear that, in time of danger, I may neglect to call on thee, and thus lose my soul. The grace, then, I ask of thee, and this I beg, with all the fervor of my soul, that in all the attacks of hell I may ever have recourse to thee. O Mary, help me. O Mother of Perpetual Help, never suffer me to lose my God!
