Feast of Our Lady of the Angels of the Portiuncula
Salutation Of The Blessed Virgin by Saint Francis of Assisi
Hail Holy Lady most holy Queen, Mary Mother of God. Chosen by the Father in heaven consecrated by Him. With His most beloved Son and Holy Spirit Comforter, On you descended and still remains fullness of grace and every good.
Hail His palace and His robe, Mary Mother of God. Hail His handmaid lowly and pure, Loving servant of the Lord. Hail holy virtues given by God to all the faithful in the world, So that we may no longer be faithless, but may become the servants of the Lord. - AMEN
Today is also the ‘feast day’ of the City of Los Angeles, California, whose official name is “El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciúncula or The Town of Our Lady the Queen of Angels of the Little Portion.” In fact, the official seal of the City of Los Angeles is encircled by the seven decades of the “Franciscan Crown” or rosary!
