Mary for May - 26 (Feast of St. Philip Neri)

"The just shall hold to his way, and whoever has clean hands shall grow ever stronger." —Job 17:9

REFLECTION. "My children, do you want to obtain perseverance? Then be devoted to our Blessed Lady!"—St. Philip Neri

PRAYER. O Mary, you obtain the grace of final perseverance for your children. Help me to be a devoted child of yours, so that I may remain in the state of grace until death and join you with your Son in heaven.
