| Madonna della Scala, ora pro nobis |
August 15th is the Feast of the Madonna della Scala, patroness of Belvedere di Spinello, a small town in the Province of Crotone in Calabria. In celebration,I'm posting A Prayer to Our Lady. The accompanying photo of the Madonna della Scala was taken at Saint Rocco’s Church in Glen Cove, New York. Evviva Madonna della Scala!
A Prayer to Our Lady
Remember, O most loving Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, we turn to you, O Virgin of virgins, our Mother. To you we come, before you we stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, do not despise our petitions, but in your mercy hear us and answer us. Amen.
