[Ranunculus] -Buttercup
Although
the buttercup flowers are not aromatic plants, they are however greatly valued
and they occupy a preferential place in all the well-ordered gardens. Except
for the perfume, they have many qualities proper to a flower in a very high
degree: beauty, variety of colours, small, but clustery in its leaves.
Religion
Religion
is a moral virtue by which a person renders to the true God the due worship:
devotion, prayer and supplications, the singing of hymns and psalms, sacrifice,
gifts and offerings, oaths, vows and promises, our religious functions, the
building of temples and altars, all these belong to this virtue. He who has
this virtue is religious.

Mary,
receive these flowers and accept my resolutions. I commit myself to give you a
public, sincere, unmistakable, and faithful testimony of love, respect, obedience,
gratitude, and adoration to my God at all times and under all the circumstances,
that religion prescribes to me. Receive my Gardener, receive resolutions of mine;
to your care, I entrust the buttercup
Recite five Hail Marys
Invitation: How would you deepen
your relationship with Him as your God and loving Saviour?
