I saw on a list of feasts
"The flight of our Lord Jesus Christ into Egypt (17 February)"
I know its not strictly of Our Lady be she went to Egypt with Our Lord. Is this a feast anyone keeps nowadays and has it a history does anyone know? I know its been in lots of paintings.

11th February is Our Lady of Lourdes.
We are keeping it at our church with a mass at which prayers are speciually offered for the sick. Apparently it is world day of prayer for the sick.
I was wondering if there are special events in churches on Our Lady of Lourdes day. A Irish friend said she remebered special masses when she was in Dublin with anointing - she thinks.

This web page gives some great suggestions as to how to use today's feast of Our Lady of Lourdes as a special day of prayer for sick people and carers. A blessing for the carers is written there.
Its a fab idea I reckon to add to the feasts of Our Lady like this and connect with people's lives. I think sometimes feasts can get cut off from daily life and this kibnd of idea joins religion and life in a way if you get me.
I think it would be good on a feast like today Our Lady of Lourdes if priests encouraged people to visit the sick or say a prayer for them today. That like means there is mass and a action as well.

The image of Our Lady of Good Counsel is so lovely.
I've just been reading about this devotion on this website. It does special. I was wondering if there is a special devotion to Our Lady of Good Counsel in certain locations, or among certain peoples.
This prayer is on that website:
O Mary of Good Counsel, inflame the hearts of all who are devoted to you, so that all of them have shelter in you, O great Mother of God. O most worthy Lady, let everyone choose you as teacher and wise counselor of their souls, since you are, as Saint Augustine says, the counsel of the Apostles and counsel of all peoples. Amen.

I'd like to be pointed to an image of Our lady of the cenacle.
Can anyone help on this one, please.

Google images is your friend. I know nothing about it apart from what 2 minutes of googling just taught me, so I shan't save you the fun of looking yourself.

Thanks for the suggestion, Hart. I wass wondering if anyone had a favourite icon or other picture of Our lady of the Cenacle, rather than just a general google search, but your idea was a good one.
This devotion seems really a good one - Our Lady praying in the middle of the then church. Our Lady praying in the heart of the Church NOW.
Is their a feast day of Our Lady of the cenacle?
