L'immagine qui pubblicata è la splendida icona della Madonna della Pazienza venerata a Milano dai fedeli della Parrocchia di San Romano, del decanato Gallaratese.
Offriamo ai visitatori del blog uno stralcio dell'omelia che
Paolo VI
pronunciò l'8 Dicembre del 1965, alla chiusura del Concilio Vaticano II. 
Per quanto riguarda i canti, rimandiamo al menù "canti mariani". 
Coro SgL Erano Uomini Senza Paura
"Ecco, questo è il Nostro saluto: it can turn on this new spark of divine love in our hearts a spark, which can set fire to the principles, doctrines and intentions, which the Council has prepared, and that so inflamed by charity, can really work in the Church and in the world that renewal of thought, action, customs, and moral strength and joy and hope, which was the very purpose of the Council. Our greeting is therefore the ideal order. Is it a dream? is it poetry? becomes vacuous hyperbole and conventional, as often happens in our usual effusive greetings? No.
It is ideal, but not unreal . A moment more of your attention. When we push people our thoughts, our desires toward an ideal conception of life, we are now, or utopia, or rhetorical caricature, or illusion, or delusion. Man keeps the unquenchable aspiration to the ideal perfection and complete, but does not come by itself to reach it, or perhaps with the concept, nor with the experience and reality. We know it is the human drama of the fallen king. But watch what happens this morning while we close the Ecumenical Council we are honoring Mary, the Mother of Christ, and therefore, as we said last time, the Mother of God and our spiritual Mother. Blessed Virgin Mary, say immaculate! that is innocent, that is wonderful, that is perfect, that is, Donna, Donna the true ideal and the real set, the creature in whom God's image is reflected with absolute clarity, without any disturbance as happens in every other human being.
Is it not our gaze on this woman who is our humble sister and at the same time our heavenly Mother and Queen, the spotless and sacred mirror of infinite beauty, that can end our spiritual ascension and reconciling this final farewell?
and can begin our post-Vatican II? The beauty of Mary Immaculate become an inspiring model for us? a comforting hope?
We 
, or brothers and sisters and Gentlemen, We listen, we think it is, for us and for you and this is our most exalted and, God willing, our most valuable!
