Supernatural Force:
Prayer means launching out from the heart toward God; a cry of grateful love from the crest of joy or the trough of despair: It is a vast supernatural force that opens out my heart and binds me close to Jesus.
***********************************************************************************************
Even though knowledge is true, it is still not firmly established if unaccompanied by works. For everything is established by being put into practice.
- Saint Mark the Ascetic
“Mary is the fruitful Virgin, and in all the souls in which she comes to dwell she causes to flourish purity of heart and body, rightness of intention and abundance of good works. Do not imagine that Mary, the most fruitful of creatures who gave birth to a God, remains barren in a faithful soul. It will be she who makes the soul live incessantly for Jesus Christ, and will make Jesus live in the soul”
