 "Behold thy  Mother!" These words  of  our dying Lord  were  addressed  to  the  beloved  disciple St. John, but  were  intended  for  all  mankind. Even as  Mary  never  ceases  to  be  the  Mother  of God,  she  never  will  cease  to  be  our  Mother.

Prayer of  the  Church  (p.  97).

Litany of  Loreto  (p. 322).

holiest Mary,  bless  me,  my  heart  and  my  soul, as thou  thyself  wast  ever  blessed  of  God among all  women;  for  I  have  this  sure  hope,  dear Mother, that  if  thou  bless  me  while  I  live,  then, when I  die,  I  shall  be  blessed  of  God  in  the  everlasting glory  of  heaven.

Hail Mary,  etc.
