Feast of the Immaculate Conception

And for the occasion the Daily Gospel Online provides the text of a Marian hymn by Saint Ephraem (c.306-373), with the line "She suckled him who gives nourishment to the peoples". Dignity of breastfeeding and whatnot.

We’d be most grateful if you would post about three forthcoming Latin Masses in Ireland:

Also, we’d be very grateful if you would put our blog on your list of blogs.

God bless you!

The list is of blogs that I read, and in that respect it's somewhat over-long already.

I will leave the comment up out of sympathy for liturgical Latin, but anonymous off-topic promotional messages do come somewhat close to what I would consider spam.
