Blessed Virgin Mary As Principal Patroness
In 1581, Pope Gregory XIII issued a papal bull consecrating the cathedral building to La Purisima Inmaculada Concepcion de Maria, while Miguel Lopez de Legaspi consecrated the city of Manila to Saint Potenciana. In 1942, Pope Pius XII rededicated the Filipino people to La Purisima Inmaculada Concepcion through a Papal Bull called Impositi Nobis, while Saint Rose of Lima and Saint Potenciana remained as the secondary patroness of the Filipino people. The Latin declaration came in the Acta Apostolicae Sedis from January 20, 1942.

Famous quotes containing the words blessed, virgin, mary and/or principal:
“A spring of love gushed from my heart,
And I blessed them unaware:”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“In correct theology, the Virgin ought not to be represented in bed, for she could not suffer like ordinary women, but her palace at Chartres is not much troubled by theology, and to her, as empress-mother, the pain of child-birth was a pleasure which she wanted her people to share.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The traveller on the prarie is naturally a hunter, on the head waters of the Missouri and Columbia a trapper, and at the Falls of St. Mary a fisherman.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For me, the principal fact of life is the free mind. For good and evil, man is a free creative spirit. This produces the very queer world we live in, a world in continuous creation and therefore continuous change and insecurity. A perpetually new and lively world, but a dangerous one, full of tragedy and injustice. A world in everlasting conflict between the new idea and the old allegiances, new arts and new inventions against the old establishment.”
—Joyce Cary (1888–1957)
