May 20 - Our Lady of Graces (Italy, Cuneo, 1537) - Saint Germanus of Constantinople (d. ca. 733)

Even Your Protection is Beyond our Understanding

Who, after your Son, cares as you do for the human race? Who defends us unceasingly in our tribulations? Who delivers us before temptations can beset us? Who goes to so much trouble to beg for sinners? Who takes their defense to excuse them even in hopeless cases? By the familiarity and the power of persuasion you have gained with your Son for being His mother, even though we have been convicted of our crimes and no longer dare to look to the heights of heaven, you save us from eternal torments by your supplications and intercessions. Therefore, the afflicted take refuge by your side. Those who have suffered injustice rush to you. Those who are filled with evil invoke your assistance. Everything that is yours, Mother of God, is wonderful. Everything is larger than life; everything is beyond our reason and power. Even your protection is beyond our understanding.
