Hope
Our Lady of the Sacred Heart, Mother of the orphan and the destitute, Hope of the hopeless, blessed by all generations, sweeter than honey and the honeycomb, immaculate lily perfuming the universe with thy perfumes, mysterious fountain, safe asylum amid the dangers of the world, the purest and loveliest of creatures.
