1. Okay, seriously. If you pray the Liturgy of the Hours and grew up in the 1980s: Do you have Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, AAAAMADEUS\u2026 stuck in your head? <\/p>\n
You do now<\/a>? <\/p>\n Today, you see, there\u2019s a reading there from Saint Amadeus of Lausanne on the Queenship of Mary, which is celebrated on August 22: <\/p>\n Dwelling in the loftiest citadel of virtue, like a sea of divine grace or an unfathomable source of love that has everywhere overflowed its banks, she poured forth her bountiful waters on trusting and thirsting souls. Able to preserve both flesh and spirit from death she bestowed health-giving salve on bodies and souls. Has anyone ever come away from her troubled or saddened or ignorant of the heavenly mysteries? Who has not returned to everyday life gladdened and joyful because his request had been granted by the Mother of God?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n (There\u2019s more<\/a> to it and it is quite beautiful.)<\/p>\n And here<\/a> are the Mass readings for today.<\/p>\n 2. <\/p>\n 13th-century stained glass from Chartres Cathedral of the Coronation of Our Lady https:\/\/t.co\/aJGJFBAJvi<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Fr Lawrence Lew OP (@LawrenceOP) August 22, 2015<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
