.. when life is somewhat in turmoil and even when it’s not, it is important to pray to Our Lady. In times when we need help, as our Mother, she is always willing to help us and provide for us and intercede for us. She will pray for us to the Father that our needs will be met. “Hail Holy Queen.. our life, our sweetness and our hope”
