Happy St Alphonsus Liguori Day (old rite)!

Important feasts - that means those I can remember - in the near future are St John Vianney, 4th August, new rite (I don't know his feast in the old rite); Transfiguration, 6th August; and the ASSUMPTION on the 15th, of course. The 16th is St Joachim in the old rite. I believe there is another Marian feast on the 22nd - either her Queenship or Maternity. I have written what I can remember.

I have been reading "The Glories of Mary." It is beautiful. I needed to take a break, however, when I got to a footnote which had the Latin for "was made obedient unto death" in it: "factus oboediens usque ad mortem."
