Our Lady's Tears

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven…" (Matt 5:10-12)

I heard a holy priest say this once and its on my mind today. He said in Heaven the saints and Angels, in the presense of the Almighty God say over and over:

"Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth!"

Lord have mercy on us all. I pray for the conversion of poor sinners, the salvation of souls, for the souls in purgatory. Who are we, small creatures that You should think of us? We are the very souls that Jesus ransomed with His very Blood. I make this petition with my Angel Guardian, my Patron Saints in union with all the Masses said throughout the world today. Amen+

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, save souls! Amen+

St. Winifred

Also St. Gwenfrewy or Winefride, she was the daughter of a Welsh nobleman, Tyfid ap Eiludd. Her suitor, Caradog, was enraged when she decided to become a nun, and decapitated her. Her head rolled downhill, and, where it stopped, a healing spring appeared. Winefride's head was subsequently rejoined to her body due to the efforts of her maternal uncle, Saint Beuno, and she was restored to life. She later became a nun and abbess at Gwytherin in Denbighshire, and Caradog, cursed by St. Beuno, melted into the ground. She died 660.
