“Mary, the holy Mother of our king, the queen of our heart, looks after us as only she knows how. Mother of mercy, throne of grace: we ask you to help us compose, verse by verse, the simple poem of charity in our own life and the lives of the people around us; it is ‘like a river of peace.’ For you are a sea of inexhaustible mercy: ‘All streams run to the sea, but the sea is never full.’”

Today is the feast of Our Lady of Mercy (September 24).

Among other places, she is the patroness of Barcelona where great festivities are held each year. The title of Our Lady of Mercy came to hold a special place in St. Josemaria’s memory and heart. He made a habit of visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Mercy to seek her protection and intercession—a tradition continued by his successors and spiritual children in Opus Dei.
