“My mirror is to be Mary, I see that I am her daughter, I should seem to be with her and thus I will seem to be with Jesus.” (St Theresa of the Andes)

In the last few days, Canção Nova had the grace of receiving the pilgrim image of Fatima. The presence of it is the certainty that the Holy Virgin always will be with us. Mary is for us an example of love and fidelity.

We ask the Lord, today, the gave of having the characteristics of Our Lady, that the end of all our actions may be for the Glory of God, and thus we may be able to say with her: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.” (Luke 1:47)

We pray: “Virgin Mary, Mother of God and Our Mother, to your immaculate heart we consecrate ourselves, in the full act of complete giving of ourselves to the Lord.”

Jesus, I Trust in You!

Luzia Santiago.
