Well, Judith Anne, I'm afraid you're going to feel foolish, because I know your mantra is STUDY STUDY STUDY. But it came from the Catholic Caucus Daily Mass Reading for today. The December Devotion: The Immaculate Conception. Post 15.

Perhaps you need to heed your STUDY STUDY STUDY advice and READ your December Devotion.

Does it still sound to you like a 'made up thing'?? LOL! I'm sure by now you are wishing you had not said that....rofl

Get back to me with the "altars" today and the Throne in Heaven.

LOLOL.

Apparently Judith thinks a lot of things are "made up." (Just don't tell her any "anecdotes.")

I think it came from here.....(last paragraph)

Prayer of Pope Pius XII
In Honor of the Immaculate Conception

http://catholicism.about.com/od/tothevirginmary/qt/Honor_Immacula.htm

Prayer of Pope Pius XII

Enraptured by the splendor of your heavenly beauty, and impelled by the anxieties of the world, we cast ourselves into your arms, O Immaculate Mother of Jesus and our Mother, Mary, confident of finding in your most loving heart appeasement of our ardent desires, and a safe harbor from the tempests which beset us on every side.

Though degraded by our faults and overwhelmed by infinite misery, we admire and praise the peerless richness of sublime gifts with which God has filled you, above every other mere creature, from the first moment of your conception until the day on which, after your assumption into heaven, He crowned you Queen of the Universe.

O crystal fountain of faith, bathe our minds with the eternal truths! O fragrant Lily of all holiness, captivate our hearts with your heavenly perfume! O Conqueress of evil and death, inspire in us a deep horror of sin, which makes the soul detestable to God and a slave of hell!

O well-beloved of God, hear the ardent cry which rises up from every heart. Bend tenderly over our aching wounds. Convert the wicked, dry the tears of the afflicted and oppressed, comfort the poor and humble, quench hatreds, sweeten harshness, safeguard the flower of purity in youth, protect the holy Church, make all men feel the attraction of Christian goodness. In your name, resounding harmoniously in heaven, may they recognize that they are brothers, and that the nations are members of one family, upon which may there shine forth the sun of a universal and sincere peace.

Receive, O most sweet Mother, our humble supplications, and above all obtain for us that, one day, happy with you, we may repeat before your throne that hymn which today is sung on earth around your altars: You are all-beautiful, O Mary! You are the glory, you are the joy, you are the honor of our people! Amen.

It is actually the end of a very long prayer offered at the time of the declaration of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception.:)
