Regina pacis, ora pro nobis "Queen of peace, pray for us."
Have you at least tried it when you have lost your calm? You will be surprised at its immediate effect."
Meditation:
The founder of the Opus Dei, St. Josemaria Escriva, was well known for his devotion to Our Lady. As a public sign of this devotion, the Opus Dei's central church in Rome is dedicated to Our Lady of Peace. This church contains the mortal remains of the saintly founder of the Opus Dei.
"Holy Mary is the Queen of peace, and thus the Church

invokes her.
So when your soul or your family are troubled, or things go wrong at work, in society or between nations, cry out to her without ceasing. Call to her by this title: "Regina pacis, ora pro nobis" Queen of peace, pray for us."
Resolution:
Queen of Peace will be my motto today.
(I printed one page of the phrase "Queen of Peace, pray for us". I put the phrase throughout the house, for example, in kitchen drawers, on bathroom countertops to remind me to invoke Our Lady frequently. )
Marian Vow:
St. Maximilian Kolbe
"Every conversion, every step on the road to sanctification, is a fruit of grace. Even cooperation with grace is a grace itself without God's grace nothing is possible. The Mediatrix of All Graces is the Immaculata. The more one draws close to her, the more graces he receives."
Will to Love,(Marytown Press), 116
I give this resolution to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Thanks be to God for graces received.
