What's it going to be?
I mean, this has got to be a gift for a very special occasion...so you're really going to push the boat out, right?
Well, here are one or two suggestions so that you may be good and ready for the special day -
August 15th - The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary:-
First and foremost has got to be the gift of reciting the Rosary on her great day. And, a pledge to continue to do so, daily from then on.
Secondly, reach the mother through the Son......acts of mortification are in order, made as a thanksgiving or, for a special cause such as the return of the Latin Mass or on behalf of those who blaspheme the Holy Name.
Thirdly, attend Mass, not just because it is an obligation but out of love for your mother.
And, fourthly, stand and sing the 'Salve Regina' at the top of your voice in your local supermarket - you will find that it will make a huge impression.
NB: The fourth point may not be such a great idea....just humming it would please Our Lady, though.
