Daily, Daily Sing to Mary

Daily Daily Sing to Mary

Sing my soul her praises due

All her feasts her actions worship

With the heart's  devotion true

Lost in wond'ring contemplation

Be her Majesty confess'd

Call her Mother, call her Virgin

Happy Mother Virgin Blest

She is mighty to deliver

Call her trust her lovingly

When the tempest rages round thee

She will calm the troubled sea

Gifts of heaven she has given

Noble Lady to our race

She the Queen who decks her subject

With the light of God's own grace. 

I thought that in honor of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, I would share with you the lyrics of one of my favorite Marian hymns.  I hope you all had a blessed feast day.

Food for thought

"The truth is not always the same as the majority decision."

--Pope John Paul II

Catholic Education...

Something that has bothered me for a while is reports I have heard of Catholic colleges allowing and even promoting things contrary to Catholic teaching.  Pope Benedict XVI is clearly concerned too.  Here is a wonderful (and rather amusing) article that summarizes what he said to Catholic Institutions of Education  while he was here in the USA.   I can only pray that people heed his words.

One big family...

I read about this in the newspaper and then Kimberly at Catholic family Vignettes posted this. I felt moved to post it as well. Please take a few minutes to watch the video. It is beautiful.

Amen to that!

"Freedom is not only a gift, but also a summons to personal responsibility."--Pope Benedict XVI

He may be 81, but Benedict XVI is a very intelligent, yet clearly humble, man.
