A Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary


                                                               "Virgin and Child"  W. A. Bouguereau

On Saturdays in Ordinary Time when there is no obligatory memorial, an optional memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary is allowed.

The Collect from Traditional Saturday Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary:

Grant to us Thy servants, we beseech Thee, O Lord God, that we may enjoy perpetual health of mind and body; and through the intercession of blessed Mary ever Virgin may be delivered from present sorrow and possess eternal joy. Through our Lord.

Our Lady of the Rosary, Pray for us.
