July 30, 2010   Feast of St. Peter Chrysologus, Bishop and Doctor St. Peter was elected Bishop of Ravenna in 424 and distinguished himself as a great theologian through presentation of insightful sermons to his flock.   File:Our Mother of Perpetual Help.jpg

"It is no coincidence that our beloved savior declared the Holy Spirit to be the Advocate (Jn. 16:7) and that Christ Jesus' bride, the Catholic  Church, declares the Ever Blessed Virgin also to be our Advocate. In truth, the Holy Spirit and the Mother of God have an intimate spiritual union. The Holy Spirit acts through His spiritual spouse (Lk. 1:41-3, Acts 1:14; 2:1-3)."1
