Nice to see, here is one from the Old World: https://youtu.be/tBoceu8bfHA
By the one Cross and one Death is mankind redeemed. It is by this one Cross and the one Death, and the merits which flow from this Sacrificial offering, that human society, so much in need of redemption, is ever preserved from its own destruction. By the one Cross does redemption come to man continuously down through the ages. It is by the one Sacrifice of the Holy Cross that God's Love and Mercy are made manifest in every time and place to the benefit of our salvation. It is through the merits of the Holy Cross that value is imparted to our own sufferings and death.
Through the Love, Mercy, and Generosity of Christ, we have been blessed with a Fountain of Holiness from which we can continually wash ourselves clean and receive our replenishment of grace. Christ is the limitless Divine Wellspring of Grace and Holiness; His Holy Mother, the grace-filled fountain. Our Lady, conforming to the Will of God, directs this "water of grace" to wherever it is most needed and can be most effective but how often it is that man does not avail himself of this freely available gift. Let us ever avail ourselves of this unmerited Source of Salvation, for without its benefits, we would surely perish. Because the Son of God deigned to become one of us, and to give His life for us, as He even now continuously gives Himself to us; and to us also He most generously bequeathed His Holy Mother to intercede for us who by her solicitude helps us to become what God desires us to be.
