He who places his hope on thee, O Virgin all-glorious, will prosper in all he does.

Happy Lent!

No blogging or commenting during Great Lent.


For zeal for thy house has consumed me,
    and the insults of those who insult thee have fallen on me.
10 When I humbled my soul with fasting,
    it became my reproach.
11 When I made sackcloth my clothing,
    I became a byword to them.
12 I am the talk of those who sit in the gate,
    and the drunkards make songs about me.

Psalm 69: 9-12 
RSV
