Today is the great Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. As a gift to our gentle Queen and Mother, I am posting the most recent edition of an English verse translation of the last poem written by St Thérèse of Lisieux before she departed from this world in 1897.
You can read the French and my English translation of this poem by clicking on the following link:

| The Vladimirskaya Icon. >12th century. |
SUB tuum præsidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genitrix. Nostras deprecationes ne despicias in necessitatibus, sed a periculis cunctis libera nos semper, Virgo gloriosa et benedicta. Amen.
Totus tuus ego sum
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam.
He that hearkeneth to me, shall not be confounded: and they that work by me, shall not sin. They that explain me shall have life everlasting. Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) xxiv. 30-31.
