Hail, Queen of Heaven, the ocean Star, Guide of the wand'rer hear below,
Thrown on life's surge, we claim thy care, Save us from peril and from woe.
Mother of Christ, star of the sea,
Pray for the wanderer, pray for me.
Sojourners in this vale of tears,
To thee, blest advocate, we cry;
Pity our sorrows, calm our fears,
And soothe with hope our misery.
Refuge in grief, Star of the Sea,
Pray for the mourner, pray for me.
Amen.

"Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, love is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails."
- 1 Corinthians: 4-8
WE ARE BODY-PERSONS.
THE HUMAN BODY IS ALWAYS OBJECTIVE (BODY)
& SUBJECTIVE (PERSON) AT THE SAME TIME.
WE MUST ALWAYS CONSIDER THE HUMAN BODY UNDER BOTH ASPECTS TOGETHER.

MEN HAVE INSIGHT INTO THINGS,
WOMEN HAVE INTUITION INTO PERSONS.
MEN ARE EXPERTS AT OBJECTIVE TRUTH,
WOMEN ARE EXPERTS AT SUBJECTIVE TRUTH.
WE NEED BOTH WORKING TOGETHER.

Pope John Paul II, Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology of the Body, trans. Michael Waldstein (Boston: Pauline Books & Media, 2006) (No. 9:3) “The account of the creation of man in Genesis 1 affirms from the beginning and directly that man was created in the image of God inasmuch as he is male and female… man became the image of God not only through his own humanity, but also through the communion of persons, which man and woman form from the very beginning.” (No. 9:5) “Masculinity and femininity express the twofold aspect of man’s somatic constitution… and indicate, in addition… the new consciousness of the meaning of one’s body. This meaning, one can say, consists in reciprocal enrichment.” (No. 10:1) “Femininity in some way finds itself before masculinity, while masculinity confirms itself through femininity. Precisely the function of sex [that is, being male or female], which in some way is ‘constitutive for the person’ (not only ‘an attribute of the person’), shows how deeply man, with all his spiritual solitude, with the uniqueness and unrepeatability proper to the person, is constituted by the body as ‘he’ or ‘she’.” (No. 14:4) “The body, which expresses femininity ‘for’ masculinity and, vice versa, masculinity ‘for’ femininity, manifests the reciprocity and the communion of persons.”
