HAPPY FEAST DAY OF OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS!
Today, August 2, we join the global Church and the Franciscan family in honoring our Blessed Mother under her beautiful title, Our Lady of the Angels (Portiuncula).
This feast reminds us of the "little portion" (Portiuncula)—the small chapel in Assisi, Italy, rebuilt by St. Francis, where heaven met earth, and where the famous Portiuncula Indulgence of absolute pardon was born.
Our Lady of the Angels, guard our hearts and lead us closer to your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
