Light and darkness, bless the Lord;
praise and exalt him above all forever. -Daniel 3:72

Come, Holy Spirit. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. Save us, Jesus, son of David, have pity on us.

“God who made the sun, also made the moon. The moon does not take away from the brilliance of the sun. All its light is reflected from the sun. The Blessed Mother reflects her Divine Son; without Him, she is nothing. With Him, she is the Mother of men.” -Archbishop Fulton Sheen

And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She brought forth a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne [Revelation 12:1, 5]
