“Mary, Mother of the Church"

Scripture Reading(Acts 1:13-14)

When they entered the city they went to the upper room where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.

All these devoted themselves with one accord to prayer, together with some women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

Don Bosco’s Words:

After the death of his mother, Mama Margaret, Don Bosco knelt at the foot of the image of Our Lady of Consolation in Turin and said, “Now my boys and I have no mother on earth.  Be close to us, be our Mother.”

 

Prayer:

Our Father…

Hail Mary…

Glory Be…

 

Mary Help of Christians, pray for us.
