"There are two things I want you to do - keep
close to Our Lord
in
the Holy Eucharist...
(and) stay close to His Mother.
With
those two loves, you will always have the light
to
see what is right and what is wrong."- Mother
Angelica
In the Salve
Regina we 'poor banished children of Eve' hail the New Eve,
mother of the Eucharist, as 'our life, our sweetness and our hope.'
And we implore her to
'show us, after this exile, the blessed fruit' of her womb.
This our heavenly mother will
certainly do, lovingly and graciously.
But already here and
now, that is, during our exile in this 'vale of tears,'
she untiringly shows us the blessed fruit of her womb
integrally present in the sacrament of the
altar.
As His handmaid and herald she
urges us to draw ever closer to Him.
For not only is He the source
of life and holiness;
He is the pledge and pattern
of our bodily resurrection
when the new world finally
dawns." - Fr Richard Foley, S.J.
