James 5:8
Daily Meditation
"Let us say boldly with St. Bernard that we have need of a mediator with the Mediator Himself, and that it is the divine Mary who is the most capable of filling that charitable office. It was through her that Jesus Christ came to us, and it is through her that we must go to Him. If we fear to go directly to Jesus Christ, our God, whether because of His infinite greatness or because of our vileness or because of our sins, let us boldly implore the aid and intercession of Mary, our Mother. She is good, she is tender, she has nothing in her austere and forbidding, nothing too sublime and too brilliant. In seeing her, we see our pure nature."
— St. Louis de Montfort
Daily Catholic Wisdom
As the obedient servant of the Lord and the first disciple of Christ, Mary has a unique share in Christ’s reign and serves as a point of reference for all Christians who strive to realize their own royal vocation through the service and obedience to God’s Word.

A Prayer from Notre Dame University
Rev. Stephen Koeth, C.S.C.
Heavenly Father, you have sent prophets, apostles, and your only begotten Son to proclaim the coming of your kingdom. We have often hardened our hearts, refusing to heed your countless invitations. We have mistreated your servants, and, by our sins, we are guilty of nailing your Son to the cross. In your loving mercy, forgive our sins. Give us the grace to maintain the purity of our baptism and to faithfully live out our baptismal vocation to a life of holiness so that we may one day share in the banquet of your kingdom, where you live and reign forever and ever. Amen.
