With the events of this past weekend, I have felt sad, mad, troubled and depressed. There are things I thought about saying, most likely not what you might think. However, I was reminded during last night's Mass for the Feast of the Assumption, there is but one thing to do. It is time to turn to Mary, patroness of this country.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;
my spirit rejoices in God my savior.
For he has looked upon his handmaid’s lowliness;
behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.
The Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
His mercy is from age to age
to those who fear him.

He has shown might with his arm,
dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.
He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones
but lifted up the lowly.
The hungry he has filled with good things;
the rich he has sent away empty.
He has helped Israel his servant,
remembering his mercy,
according to his promise to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his descendants forever.

Perhaps it is time to commit to prayer, even just one Hail Mary, one Ave, each day. Won't you join me?

I'll join you! :)
