Link to The Memorare

"The soul must grow and expand, so as to be capable of God. And its largeness is its love, as the Apostle says, 'Widen yourselves in love' (2 Cor 6:13). It grows and extends spiritually, not in substance, but in virtue. The greatness of each soul is judged by the measure of love that it has: he who has great love is great, he who has little love is little, while he who has no love at all is nothing.” ~ Bernard of Clairvaux ~

Let us Pray to Mary to Watch Over Us

According Tradition, after the falling asleep of the Virgin Mother, she was buried, but her body did not suffer corruption.  When the tomb was opened, it was empty, filled with flowers and the fragrance of holiness.

Freed from the weight of  the body,
the Virgin is carried to Heaven. 

With jubilation the Heavens receive her,
and the angels sing.

Consider the beauties of Mary's heart, 

and see if you will ever be able to refuse her your love.
