Santo Subito

I wrote briefly in "Benedictus Qui Venit" about Pope Benedict's decision to dispense with the five yearwaiting period for the cause of John Paul II. What incredible times we are living in! May the grace of the Holy Spirit bemagnified in us!
Tomorrow the Pauline Family celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, Queen of Apostles, the one who always and in all times gives us Jesus. In our small convents it isn't always possible for us to have the actual liturgy of the Feast, because we do not have daily Mass in our own chapel, but at least in Chicago, we will have Mass celebratedby one of the good Paulist Fathers from Old St. Mary's. (Another fine community whose reputation gets tarnished by the actions of a few.) "Receive our prayer, O Mary, our Mother, Queen and Teacher. Beseech your Divine Son, the Lord of the Harvest, to send forth laborers into his vineyard. Alleluia."
