Hail, Holy Queen!
Mother of Mercy,
Our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, O Most Gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us,
And after this, our exile, show unto us the most blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O Clement, O Loving, O Sweet Virgin Mary,
Pray for us, O Holy Mother of God,
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Have you heard about the favor attributed to Blessed Solanus Casey in 1933? Mrs. Patrick Murphy was suffering from a mysterious disease that prevented her from swallowing her food. She was prepared to accept death; however, her husband brought her to Blessed Solanus Casey.

By the next morning, she felt better, and whatever was ailing her had left her body. Have you heard of any favors attributed to the help of Blessed Solanus Casey? Let's chat in the comments!

Viral Catholic leader: Christians must not be ‘weak’ in the face of Olympics opening spectacle Prominent Catholic leader and evangelist Bishop Robert Barron recently condemned a blasphemous anti-Catholic display at the opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics in Paris this week.

The National Eucharistic Congress concluded Sunday with a Mass with tens of thousands of people in an NFL football stadium, where the crowd prayed for “a new Pentecost” in the U.S. Church.

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle presided over the closing Mass in Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium on July 21 as Pope Francis’ special envoy for the event. He shared that the pope told him that he desires the congress to lead to “conversion to the Eucharist.”

“The presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is a gift and the fulfillment of his mission,” said the cardinal pro-prefect of the Vatican Dicastery for Evangelization.

“Those who choose to stay with Jesus will be sent by Jesus,” Tagle added. “Let us go to proclaim Jesus zealously and joyfully for the life of the world.” https://bit.ly/4bWTp18
