We Fly to Your Patronage O Holy Mother of God

We have just celebrated the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and as we continue with our journey in Ordinary Time, we discover also the invitation to journey together with Our Blessed Mother.

It's a scenario that plays out in our minds, like the classic "who" question - if your spouse and your child were both drowning, who would you choose to rescue? The natural human response is to try to save them both, to find [...]
