Love Mary!... She is loveable, faithful, constant. She will never let herself be outdone in love, but will ever remain supreme. If you are in danger, she will hasten to free you. If you are troubled, she will console you. If you are sick, she will bring you relief. If you are in need, she will help you. She does not look to see what kind of person you have been. She simply comes to a heart that wants to love her. She comes quickly and opens her merciful heart to you, embraces you and consoles and serves you. She will even be at hand to accompany you onthe trip to eternity.

- St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother

Servanthood:

To be like Jesus, we must first learn to serve others and love them for who they are (i.e. children of God) and not for the benefits we can reap from our services. Jesus’ death on the Cross is the most powerful sign of His infinite and selfless servic e for our salvation. How do we serve others daily?

Christianity:

Christianity is not a collection of truths that one has to believe, of laws one has to keep, a list of prohibitions.…Christianity is a person that loved me so much that he demands my love. Christianity is Christ.

Prayer:

Prayer is the peak of human development. Human beings do not have worth because of what they have, rather for what they are. And human beings really exist when they meet God face to face and understand the marvels God has done with them.
