On the Second Sunday of Lent, as we feel the beginnings of tiredness and extra temptations, Pope Francis reminds us of the destination of our journey, of the victory of Jesus over sin and death.

“I syng of a mayden” is a much-admired medieval English composition, celebrating the Annunciation by the Angel Gabriel to Mary, and the birth of Christ. Join your prayer with the many voices who have prayed it over the centuries and let it deepen your devotion to Mary in the Annunciation.

Consecrate yourself to St Joseph with these prayers.

Many people are familiar with the Memorare to Our Lady, but this Memorare to St Joseph helps us to go to her most chaste spouse for help.
