If God designs it...
If God delights in it...
If God delivers his
Son through the womb of the
Most Blessed Virgin Mary,
Then God deigns it...and so
The Church decrees it.
Even so, many a God-fearing
Human heart; disciples;
Still, a decree they dispute.
As if God could not have
Desired, designed, delighted, delivered,
And deigned the Mother of God; the Mother of the Church!

The Vatican published a decree Saturday in which Francis declared that the Mary "Mother of the Church" feast would be celebrated on the Monday following Pentecost. This year, it falls on May 21.” US News & World Report, March 3rd, 2018
