466 The Nestorian heresy regarded Christ as a human person joined to the divine person of God's Son. Opposing this heresy, St. Cyril of Alexandria and the third ecumenical council, at Ephesus in 431, confessed "that the Word, uniting to himself in his person the flesh animated by a rational soul, became man." Christ's humanity has no other subject than the divine person of the Son of God, who assumed it and made it his own, from his conception. For this reason the Council of Ephesus proclaimed in 431 that Mary truly became the Mother of God by the human conception of the Son of God in her womb: "Mother of God, not that the nature of the Word or his divinity received the beginning of its existence from the holy Virgin, but that, since the holy body, animated by a rational soul, which the Word of God united to himself according to the hypostasis, was born from her, the Word is said to be born according to the flesh."

Mt 8:18-22
#	Douay-Rheims	Vulgate
18	And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.	videns autem Iesus turbas multas circum se iussit ire trans fretum
19	And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.	et accedens unus scriba ait illi magister sequar te quocumque ieris
20	And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.	et dicit ei Iesus vulpes foveas habent et volucres caeli tabernacula Filius autem hominis non habet ubi caput reclinet
21	And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.	alius autem de discipulis eius ait illi Domine permitte me primum ire et sepelire patrem meum
22	But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.	Iesus autem ait illi sequere me et dimitte mortuos sepelire mortuos suos

Prayer to Our Lady of Perpetual Help

Feast Day: June 27

Mother of Perpetual Help, you have been blessed and favored by God. You became not only the Mother of the Redeemer, but the Mother of the redeemed as well. We come to you today as you loving children. Watch over us and take care of us. As you held the child Jesus in your loving arms, so take us in your arms. Be a mother ready at every moment to help us. For God who is mighty has done great things for you, and his mercy is from age to age on those who love him. Our greatest fear is that in time of temptation, we may fail to call out to you, and become lost children. Intercede for us, dear Mother, in obtaining pardon for our sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace always to call upon you, Mother of Perpetual Help. 

Amen.
