The Memorare
“Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that any one who fled to your protection, Implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired By this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of Virgins, my Mother. To you I come; before you I stand sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate! Despise not my petitions, but in your mercy hear and answer me”.
“AMEN”

An Irish Blessing for Virginia Cronin to Present to her husband Timothy
“They are Together again in Heaven”
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm on your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields. And may God hold you in the palm of His Hand.
