A Prayer to the Mother of Beautiful Love
May Lent be for every Christian a renewed experience of God's love given to us in Christ, a love that each day we, in turn, must "re-give" to our neighbour, especially to the one who suffers most and is in need. Only in this way will we be able to participate fully in the joy of Easter.
May Mary, Mother of Beautiful Love, guide us in this Lenten journey, a journey of authentic conversion to the love of Christ. Amen.
- A prayer by Pope Benedict XVI

The Solemn Declaration of The Minor Basilica of St. Anne, Penang, Malaysia (9 Jan 2023):
| Mass Readings | Feast Days | Parish Feast Day 2021 | Ascension Day | Divine Mercy | Our Lady, Mother of the Church | Year of St. Joseph | Lenten |
Sweet as the warbling of a bird,
Sweet as a Mother’s voice;
So sweet to me is thy dear name;
It makes my soul rejoice.
Bright as the glittering stars appear,
Bright as the moonbeam’s shine,
So bright in my mind’s eye is seen
Thy loveliness divine!
- from St. Michael's Center.
Mary, how sweetly falls thy name
On my enraptured ear;
Oft do I say in holy love
Thy name when none are near.
Sing oh, my lips, and loudly proclaim,
Oh Mary, my Mother, how sweet is thy name.

For Catholics, many days of the calendar year are a cause for celebration. Nearly every day marks the feast day of a saint — a day when that saint’s holy life and deeds are remembered. Holy days of obligation (according to the Ordo 2021-2022), which means that Catholics are obliged to attend Mass that day, are listed below as follows:
"At God’s approach, the virtuous rejoice, exulting and singing for joy."
Psalms 68:3
"Our Lady of Mount Carmel: Novena Prayer and Flower of Carmel Mediations".
Song: "Flower of Carmel"
