Ave Maria!— August’s Theme: The Missions
“The best means in working for the conversion and sanctification of pagan souls can only be divine grace, which must be implored by prayer. In fact, among the various means, the one which has pride of place is the short prayer that the Immaculate Herself taught during the apparition of the Miraculous Medal, “O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.” (cf. SK #1330)
