The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin



Who is she that goeth up by the desert, as a pillar of smoke of aromatical spices, of myrrh, and frankincense, and of all the powders of the perfumer? - Little Office BVM, Matins, First Lesson, Cant. 3

Intercede for Syria, O Our Lady,
in this grave hour when from all around
blow furious winds, bringing cries of death
against Your Son and against civilization
founded on His teachings,
 deceiving minds, perverting hearts and
lighting the fires of hatred and
revolution in the world.
Help of Christians, pray for us!*
