Good morning white dove,
Today I’ve come to greet you,
Saluting your beauty,
In your heavenly kingdom.
Beautiful girl, holy girl,
We praise your name,
Because you are most holy,
Today I’ve come to greet you.
Your Mother
Let nothing frighten or grieve you, let not your heart be disturbed, do not fear any sickness or anguish. Am I not here, who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not your fountain of health? Are you not happily within the folds of my mantle, held safely in my arms?
- Mary to St Juan Diego, 12 December 1531
