O Mary, happy thee, who always did the will of God perfectly, obtain for me, through thy intercession, the grace to do His will during the remainder of my life.

Happy Feast of Corpus Christi (the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ)!

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY:

1. The Feast of Corpus Christi (or the Body and Blood of Christ) is a feast day celebrating the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist ("Eucharist" is also called "Communion" or "the Lord's Supper"). The Real Presence is the belief that, at the height of Mass, the bread and wine at the altar are transformed, and while their details remain unchanged, their underlying reality becomes the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus (His "Real Presence"). In this Sacrament, we step outside of time to participate in the Last Supper, in the Passion, in our heavenly Wedding Feast, and in the very tangible Person of Christ. The Real Presence has been a core belief of Christianity since its very start. Paul writes about the importance of receiving Communion worthily in 1 Corinthians 11, and the apostle John's student, Ignatius of Antioch, emphasizes the Real Presence in his Epistle to the Smyrnaeans!

2. In this Bible story, Jesus breaks bread with His disciples at the Last Supper, giving thanks and saying, "This is My Body." The Greek word for "thanksgiving" is where we get the word "Eucharist" for the bread and wine offered at Communion.

3. In this cartoon, Peter realizes that "...this EUCHARIST is YOU, CHRIST!" but he enunciates it awkwardly so that the syllables of EU-CHA-RIST match up with YOU-CHuh-RIST.

4. For anyone scrolling through old cartoon descriptions years from now: yes, this is the comic people are talking about when they whisper about the day that Tomics "redefined humor." For the record, I attribute all of my inevitable future success to the grace God has gifted me. Sure, it was hard to be so talented and ground-breaking in my time, but my grace got me through, somehow. People called my grace the best grace. Lots of people called it that. Everyone, if you can believe it -- if the grace of faith has been given to you to believe such a thing. But, hey, what do they know? I'm just a humble guy, so I won't toot my own horn. If I wanted to, though, it'd be great: an orchestra in itself. It'd drop the walls of Jericho in only TWELVE laps.

Introduction Post

Hello. From the title of this blog, it’s not hard to gather that this is a blog surrounding the immaculate, blessed, holy, without-sin, the Virgin Mary, our mother.

Yes, this is a Catholic based blog.

Why have I started this blog? Really, to be honest, I’m not sure myself. One day it just sort of hit me. "What if I made a blog on tumblr surrounding the Virgin Mary?" I thought to myself. And here I am now. I think really, I made this, simply because I feel such a great love for Mother Mary.

I cannot even begin to explain how and why I love her so much. Doing so would bring me to tears. I’ve also made this blog with the intent to deeply explore my faith better. And to spread the faith in small ways like this. If you enjoy seeing content like this, I believe you should definitely follow, and like/reblog my posts, so that they might spread to other people.

Who knows? I might even convert some people (lol).

— Truly, a humble servant of our Blessed Mother.

Introducción

Hola. Por el título de este blog, no es difícil deducir que se trata de un blog en torno a la inmaculada, bendita, santa, sin pecado, la Virgen María, nuestra madre.

Sí, este es un blog católico.

¿Por qué he empezado este blog? Para ser sincero, ni yo mismo lo sé. Un día se me ocurrió. «¿Y si hiciera un blog en tumblr en torno a la Virgen María?». me dije. Y aquí estoy ahora. Creo que realmente, hice esto, simplemente porque siento un gran amor por la Madre María.

No puedo ni empezar a explicar cómo y por qué la quiero tanto. Hacerlo me llevaría a las lágrimas. También he hecho este blog con la intención de profundizar más en mi fe. Y para difundir la fe en pequeñas formas como esta. Si te gusta ver contenidos como éste, creo que deberías seguirme y darle a me gusta o rebloguear mis entradas, para que puedan llegar a otras personas.

¿Quién sabe? Puede que incluso convierta a algunas personas (xd).

- Verdaderamente, un humilde servidor de nuestra Santísima Madre.

The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted,

“Hosanna to the Son of David!”

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

"Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

Matthew 21:9 (NIV).

En Español:

Y la gente que iba delante y la que iba detrás aclamaba, diciendo:

¡Hosanna al Hijo de David! ¡Bendito el que viene en el nombre del Señor! ¡Hosanna en las alturas!

Happy Palm Sunday.

"True effigy of a miraculous image of the Blessed Virgin found in Rome by V.P. Dominique de Jesus Maria, General of the Discalced Carmelites, in a pile of garbage. After retrieving and cleaning it, the Virgin inclined her head to him as a sign of recognition, telling him that all those who would have a sincere devotion to this image would be rewarded by Heaven with particular graces and privileges. If they offer their prayers for the souls in purgatory, she will effectively employ her power for their deliverance."

- An 18th century engraving by Cornelius de Boudt of Our Lady of the Bowed Head.

Efigie auténtica de una imagen milagrosa de la Santísima Virgen, hallada en Roma por el V.P. Dominique de Jesus Maria, General de los Carmelitas Descalzos, en un montón de basura. Tras recuperarla y limpiarla, la Virgen inclinó la cabeza hacia él en señal de reconocimiento, diciéndole que todos aquellos que tuvieran una sincera devoción a esta imagen serían recompensados ​​por el Cielo con gracias y privilegios especiales. Si ofrecen sus oraciones por las almas del purgatorio, ella empleará eficazmente su poder para su liberación.

Happy Annunciation to you all : ).

Annunciation.

By Murillo (c. 1665).

This art depicts the archangel Gabriel coming to the Virgin Mary and announcing how she will conceive the Son of God. By Mary’s side there is a laundry basket, above her, presumably the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove. There float cherubs looking down from above.

En Español:

Anunciación.

Por Murillo (c. 1665).

Esta obra representa al arcángel Gabriel acercándose a la Virgen María y anunciándole cómo concebirá al Hijo de Dios. A su lado hay una cesta de ropa sucia, sobre ella, presumiblemente el Espíritu Santo, en forma de paloma. Allí flotan querubines que miran hacia abajo.

Daily Gospel. Friday, March 14, 2025.

Matthew 5:20-26.

Jesus said to his disciples:  “I tell you,  unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter into the Kingdom of heaven.

“You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment. But I say to you, whoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment, and whoever says to his brother, Raqa,  will be answerable to the Sanhedrin, and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ will be liable to fiery Gehenna. Therefore, if you bring your gift to the altar, and there recall that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there at the altar, go first and be reconciled with your brother, and then come and offer your gift. Settle with your opponent quickly while on the way to court. Otherwise your opponent will hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the guard, and you will be thrown into prison. Amen, I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last penny.”
