    May the patronage and tutelage of the great Mother of God, Blessed Mary ever-Virgin avail each of us, together with all our families and loved ones, unto the increase of the theological virtues, the infused moral virtues and the gifts of the Holy Ghost, and may this glorious Victress assist us in our battle against the infernal Leviathan -- so that, having cultivated a life of prayer and good works worthy of supernatural grace, we may be found worthy to enter into the celestial precincts of the heavenly Jerusalem, where this same illustrious Virgin reigns as Queen and supreme Arbitress over all that is subject unto her Divine Son.

  • The Byzantines wondrously commemorate the hallowed Mysteries which Holy Mother Church shows us in the clement and magnificent designs of the Holy Ghost, Who guides and inspires her.

    The following is taken from Byzantine Missal for Sundays and Feast Days with Rites of Sacraments, and Various Offices and Prayers published at Birmingham, Alabama, by St. George's R. C. Byzantine Church in 1958, (having been printed at Tournai, Belgium, by Société Saint Jean l' Evangéliste, Desclée & Cie).

    From Cardinal Schuster's The Sacramentary (Liber Sacramentorum): Historical and Liturgical Notes on the Roman Missal, (Vol. III; trans. Arthur Levelis-Marke; New York: Benziger Brothers, 1927), here is a commentary upon the Candlemas Procession and Mass for the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

  • Imagine processing with the barefoot pope, by candlelight to hear the finest music in the world in the most perfect church, St. Mary Major.  And then the Mass.
