So, dear brothers, you see that even in our days the Queen of Heaven never forgets us. On the contrary, the more faith, prayer, and love we have for Her, the more often She appears to us in Her miraculous image.
Let us not forget the one condition under which we can hope for Her help: She told the apostles, and through them, all of us, that She would help those who believe in Her Son. And She, the Humble One, seeks our virtues; She does not need nobility or wealth, but a gentle, humble, loving heart. She will accept the prayers of all who turns to Her with a pure heart.
And be assured, they will surely receive Her help; for She is called our Intercessor, Comforter, and Helper. Help us, O Queen of Heaven, and intercede for us before Your Son, our Lord God!
