Blessed Mother of God, may we also through you find paradise. Surely not just a beautiful work of art. Each reflects her reality in a different and unique way. The icon of Our Lady of America depicts Mary as Hanouneh, the tender one. Her maternal affection is on display for all to see as she enfolds in her arms the creator of the universe.
Many countries claim the patronage of a particular saint.
As the first Catholics came to our shores, escaping protestant persecution, they devoted themselves in a special way to the protection of the Mother of God. This special relationship was confirmed by our Catholic bishops when they dedicated this nation to her conception by Saint Ann. Today rivers of blessings flow upon creation. O you creation of God rejoice. Rejoice humanity, because you have been divinized by the grace of God.
