Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen
 
Hail Mary full of grace
The Lord is with thee **
Blessed art thou amongst women** **
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus** **
Holy Mary Mother of God** **
Pray for us sinners** **
Now** and at the hour of our death **
Amen**
 
Angela is improving in health daily. She does pray every day and it seems her faith is returning. Sadly I think, though, it will take some grace for her to return to the Church and the Sacraments. Thank you for your prayers and kind concern. Please keep up the prayers.

HAIL HOLY QUEEN
Hail Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy
Hail, 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 vale of tears.

Turn then O most gracious Advocate thine eyes of mercy towards us
And after this our exile, show unto us the 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.

Praying for all, thank you
 
Thank you to all for your prayers and good wishes. Please include all at that hospital in these prayers also. There are some very sad cases there, who will be there until their end due to the chronic nature of their illnesses.

I must tell you that there is seldom a gloomy face when I see them (about 30 people in total in her ward) and their cheerfulness can only be a remarkable grace that sustains and comforts.

One young African (Zulu tribe) girl, about 16, was so badly beaten by a family member that she is partially paralysed, but is able to be in a wheelchair in the mornings, spending the rest of the day in her bed. She is beautiful, and has a most lovely and timid smile and nature. She was very keen for something to read, so I took her four coloring-in books, each telling a story of the lives of the saints or Our Lady in simple English,alternate pages having a picture to be colored in (already done by my children many years ago). She was very happy to have these, and treasures them. So now after all these years in the cupboard, they have found a good home. One is the story of the Miraculous Medal.

Another African (Zulu tribe) young woman, about 25 years of age, is more seriously paralyzed, but can also sit up mornings in her wheelchair. She is now improving and wheels around ‘selling’ sweets to patients and visitors from a small container infront of her. You have to open it (as her one hand is partial) and pop the money in, and take your sweets. She has the most amazing big happy smile at nearly all times, even though she suffers fevers and other neurological effects of her condition. She was a victim of an armed robbery at a supermarket where she worked.

These are just two people of whom I have the privilege to be ‘smiled’ upon. They give hope and courage, showing the Mercy and Grace of God which is so evidently at work in them.

MORNING OFFERING PRAYER

O my God,
in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary
(here kiss your Brown Scapular *)
I offer Thee the Precious Blood of Jesus
from all the altars throughout the world,
joining with it the offering of my every thought,
word and action of this day.

O my Jesus,
I desire today to gain every indulgence and merit I can
and I offer them, together with myself,
to Mary Immaculate…
that She may best apply them to the interests of Thy most Sacred Heart.
  • Precious Blood of Jesus, Save us!
  • Immaculate Heart of Mary, Save us!
  • Sacred Heart of Jesus, Have mercy on us!
Amen.
