WORSHIPPING THE LORD
Worshipping the Lord means giving him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing – not only by our words – that he alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before him that he is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.
-Pope Francis

MARY IS CHOSEN TO CATCH THE HEARTS OF MEN
Mary is the most sweet bait, chosen, prepared, and ordained by God, to catch the hearts of men.
-St. Catherine of Siena

AM I NOT HERE, I, WHO AM YOUR MOTHER?
Listen, put it into your heart, my youngest and dearest son, that the thing that disturbs you, the thing that afflicts you, is nothing. Do not let your countenance, your heart be disturbed. Do not fear this sickness of your uncle or any other sickness, nor anything that is sharp or hurtful. Am I not here, I, who am your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the source of your joy? Are you not in the hollow of my mantle, in the crossing of my arms? Do you need anything more? Let nothing else worry you, disturb you.
-Our Lady of Guadulupe to St. Juan Diego
