Greetings for the month of Mary! Below is the ‘Advocata’ image, the oldest image of Our Lady in Rome. The simplicity and purity of her gaze invite us to a like simplicity and purity of heart and of life.

May we echo her ‘Fiat’, praying it each day of the month, with her, for ourselves and for all whom we hold in our heart: ‘Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be to me according to Thy Word’.

May she pray for us, and may God bless you this day.
