The Church never forgets you. Over the course of the year we will pray for every portion and class of humanity, no matter where or in what difficulty or sorrow. Jesus Christ took on the full burden of human experience in his life and during his passion, and so now his Church too must look to the needs of all its members.

Who is Mary?
Blessed John Henry Newman indicates to us where we will find the answer. This is what he says about Mary: “She has sketched for us her own portrait in the Magnificat”. Our Lady makes known to us that it is more in frailty than in strength that Christ reveals Himself upon earth; more in littleness than in greatness; more in lowliness than in glory. The Magnificat speaks of her humility as the ultimate root of her greatness. The essence of Mary's humility was precisely her single-hearted devotion to the plan and purpose of God.

Feast day: 23rd of August
Lay Dominican and Virgin, Memorial
Isabella Flores, commonly known as Rose, was born in Lima, Peru, in 1586, and became the first canonized saint of the Western Hemisphere. She made a vow of virginity at an early age and only with great difficulty overcame the objections and misunderstanding of her family to her way of life. At the age of twenty she became a Dominican Tertiary and lived in a hermitage which she had set up in her family's garden. She practiced severe penances for the salvation of sinners and for the missionary efforts of the Church in the Indies. Her great love for Christ manifested itself by her care of and concern for the poor and sick. She had a special devotion to Christ in the Eucharist and to Mary, the Mother of God. Her desire to teach others the secret of prayer made her a zealous promoter of the Rosary. She died at Lima on August 24, 1617.
