Mary the Sign of Created Hope


Our Lady of Graces (Cotignac, France, 1519)
Mary the Sign of Created Hope (II)

The entire body of the faithful brings forth instant supplications to the Mother of God and Mother of men that she, who aided the beginnings of the Church by her prayers, may now, exalted as she is above all the angels and saints, intercede before her Son in the fellowship of all the saints, until all families of people, whether they are honored with the title of Christian or whether they still do not know the Saviour, may be happily gathered together in peace and concord into one people of God, for the glory of the Most Holy and Undivided Trinity.
