A Poem by Edgar Allan Poe on Mary the Mother of God

Here is a poem from Edgar Allan Poe never recognized as a great poet until he wrote The Raven. Still, nothing brought money . He became a drunkard his wife was sick with TB and bills were always there. He met the Jesuits in Brooklyn where he lived. Poe never became a catholic but loved the blessed Virgin Mary. Here is his poem about Mary At morn, at noon, at twilight dim, Maria, thou hast heard my hymn! In joy and woe, in good and ill, Mother of God, be with me still! When the hours flew brightly by. And not a cloud observed the sky, My soul. lest it should truant be, Thy grace did guide to thine and thee; Now, when the storms of fate o,ercast Darkly my present and my past, Let my future radiant shine with sweet hopes of thee and thine. Edgar Allan Poe

The Immacualte Conception of Mary, Our Patroness of the United States

Mary is the Patroness of the United State of America. The First Bishop of The USA was John Carroll SJ of Baltimore; Bhsiop Carroll was a cousin to Charles Carroll, signer of the Declaration of Independence. In 1846, eight years before the dogma was solemnly defined by Pope Pius IX, the bishops of the United States declared the Immaculate Conception to be the Patroness of the United States of America. Since the earliest days of the Church, Catholics have believed that Mary was preserved from Original Sin from the moment of her conception. When Christopher Columbus came over, his flagship was named in honor of the Immaculate Conception. A few American bishops had devotions to the Immaculate Conception. And since that time, many cathedrals and parish churches, plus the massive shrine in Washington, DC, have been dedicated in honor of the Immaculate Conception. Here is a prayer that Bishop Carroll wrote a dedication to Mary as patroness of the United States Prayer: Most Holy Trinity, Our Father in Heaven, who chose Mary as the fairest of Your daughters, Holy spirit,who chose Mary as Your spouse, God the Son, who chose Mary as Your Mother, we adore Your majesty and acknowledge Your eternal authority. Most Holy Trinity we place the United States of America into the hands of Mary Immaculate in order that she may present our country to you. Through her, we thank you for the great resources of this land and for the freedom which has been its heitage. Through the intercession of Mary, have mercy on the Catholic Church of America. Give us peace. Bless our President and the officers of government. Grant us a fruitful economy born of justice and labor. Protect the family life of the Nation. Guard the precious gift of life. Through Mary, have mercy on the sick, on all who are in need. Mary, Patroness of our land, we give ourselves to you. Protect us from every harm. Pray for us and all we hold dear. We ask this in the name of Your son, Jesus and our Brother. Amen
