Shipreck of Sin..........July 24


"Noah's ark was a type of Mary. As, by its means, human beings were preserved from the Flood, so are we all saved by Mary from the shipwreck of sin. There is this difference, however. In the ark few were saved, but through Mary the whole human race was rescued from death.
St. Bernard of Clairvaux


All for Mary, through Jesus, for world peace, Queen of Peace, pray for us.

Translation of the French words on the card:
At the top:"The Fruits of Devotion to Mary"
At the bottom:"Escape from the world. We will rest in solitude ... and I will cause you to enjoy a presently unknown peace."

Friends,

Here is a translation of the French words on the card:

At the top:
"The Fruits of Devotion to Mary"

At the bottom:
"Escape from the world. We will rest in solitude ... and I will cause you to enjoy a presently unknown peace."

[Thanks for your greeting yesterday, Easter A.]
