The Lord’s mercy towards us sinners is indescribable. And yet, despite his great love for people, Jesus Christ is a strict Judge of our thoughts and deeds. Sometimes even the patron saints are unable to beg Him for mercy on a sinful soul. And only the Most Holy Theotokos, through maternal prayers, can change the decision of Her Divine Son. She is our Intercessor, our only Hope and Help. So let us tirelessly praise and glorify the Most Pure Virgin Mary: “Rejoice, full of grace; Rejoice, Delighted One; Rejoice, Most Blessed One, the Lord is with You and You with us forever and ever.”
