Our Lady of Fatima.
"Hand in hand with the Virgin Mother, and under her watchful gaze, may we come to sing with joy the mercies of the Lord, and cry out: “My soul sings to you, Lord!” The mercy you have shown to all your saints and all your faithful people, you have also shown to me. Out of the pride of my heart, I went astray, following my own ambitions and interests, without gaining any crown of glory! My one hope of glory, Lord, is this: that your Mother will take me in her arms, shelter me beneath her mantle, and set me close to your heart. Amen." – Pope Francis in Fatima for the Centenary (13 May 2017). My sermon for today's Fatima centenary, preached at a Sung Mass in the Dominican rite, can be read here. Statue from Old St Patrick's Basilica in New York City.
