Saturday of Our Lady

O my Queen, you are the consolation that God Himself has given me. You are my guide in the pilgrimage of this world, strength to my weakness, riches to my poverty, balm to my wounds, relief to my sorrows; and it is you who breaks my chains. 

Hear the humble prayers of your servant, allow yourself to be touched by my tears, Mary, my patience, my refuge and my hope, my safety and my support.
(from "Queen of Heaven" prayer book)

Peace be with you!
