"I love this woman [the Virgin Mary], I love everything she did. I talk to Mary, I tell her things, I ask her things. She gives me relief, she gives me a company that I don't have, she is always there. She listens to me and comforts me."

What a day it's been boys. We getting a little religious at work again haha. Was talking to one of the employees about some stuff, and I asked him if he still prays. He corrected me by saying, "meditation". So I said, "What is meditation but prayer for an atheist?". Within an hour a guy came in and explained he was on a religious mission and was a little low on funds. I happily said I would buy him something. You think people are drawn to certain areas because the big man upstairs knows they will be taken care of there?

Lesson 6 from the Divine Office for The Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary: Ex ecclesiasticis documentis: Pope Pius XII
.
The liturgical worship, through which due honour is given to the Immaculate Heart of the Virgin Mary, and for which many holy men and women have prepared the way, the Apostolic See itself first approved in the beginning of the nineteenth century, when Pope Pius VII instituted the feast of the Most Pure Heart of the Virgin Mary, to be piously and reverently celebrated by all the dioceses and religious families who had asked for it. Afterwards Pope Pius IX added an Office and a proper Mass to it. But an ardent desire and longing, which had arisen in the seventeenth century, grew day by day, that namely, the same Feast, given greater solemnity, might be spread to the entire Church. In 1942, Pope Pius XII, graciously acceding to this wish, and during the terrible war then ravaging almost the entire world, pitying the infinite hardships of men, and because of his devotion and confidence in our heavenly Mother, in solemn supplication earnestly entrusted the entire human race to her most generous Heart, and in honour of the same Immaculate Heart he ordered a Feast to be kept forever with its proper Office and Mass.

O Lord, who art ever merciful and bounteous with Thy gifts, look down upon the suffering souls in purgatory. Remember not their offenses and negligences, but be mindful of Thy loving mercy, which is from all eternity. Cleanse them of their sins and fulfill their ardent desires that they may be made worthy to behold Thee face to face in Thy glory. May they soon be united with Thee and hear those blessed words which will call them to their heavenly home: "Come, blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; And let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen
