Day 6 A Virgin A Day ....

Day 6 of A Virgin A Day ... which I joined here at Rebecca's blog

Today I feature a statue once owned and loved .... that touched me in a special way ... missed gazing at the statue "live" .... but am happy that it went to lovely lady from Colorado who loved her as much as moi.... as Thomas Acquinas once said...

"Man should not consider his material possessions his own, but as common to all, so as to share them without hesitation when others are in need." -- Thomas Aquinas

Sedes Sapientiae is Latin for the Seat of Wisdom.... known commonly as Our Lady of Wisdom... very rare old Madonna....but v fabulous.... don't we all need divine wisdom? hands raised? my hands are up....

Sedes Sapientiae, Ora Pro Nobis.
Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us.

Petition to The Blessed Virgin Mary
Remember Mary, tenderest-hearted Virgin, how from of old
ear hath never heard that he who ran to thee for refuge, implored
thy help, and sought thy prayers, was foresaken of God. Virgin of
Virgins, Mother, emboldened by this confidence I fly to thee, to thee
I come, and in thy presence, I a weeping sinner stand. Mother of
the Word Incarnate. O cast not away my prayer: (Here mention your request),
but in thy pity hear and answer. Amen.
