Virtual Marian Procession

29/31: Our Lady of Knock, pray for us. “On August 21, 1879, Ireland was plagued by poverty, hunger and oppression. At about 7:30 in the evening, Mary Byrne was accompanying Mary McLoughlin, the priest’s housekeeper, to her home. As they came in sight of the wall of the little parish church, they saw an astonishing light & exclaimed, “It’s the Blessed Virgin!” She was in the center of the apparition & was wearing a gold crown and clothed in white garments. Her hands were raised in prayer & her eyes gazed toward heaven. To her right was her spouse, St. Joseph, and to her left was St. John the Evangelist, who was attired as a bishop. The enigma of the apparition at Knock was its silence. The Irish people had suffered and done penance enough; no suffering or pain should ever be wasted.” Our Lady of Knock, pray for our country as we face the economic consequences of this Pandemic.

27/31: Madonna of the Magnificat, pray for us. “Make us strong in faith, persevering in service, constant in prayer”. (Pope Francis)

25/31: Mary, Queen of Angels (Regina Angelorum, in Latin), pray for us.
