Again this morning we celebrate the Mass and Office of Our Blessed Lady on Saturday. She is everywhere in the Abbey, her images and icons in sacred spaces and in the workplaces. Mary protects us and accompanies us; we trust in her powerful intercession. We want to hide in her shade.
We place ourselves in your keeping, Holy Mother of God. Refuse not the prayer of your children in their distress, but deliver us from all danger, ever Virgin glorious and blessed.
An etching by Margaret Walters, (1924 - 1971).
