We find ourselves on earth as in a tempestuous sea, a desert, and a vale of tears. But Mary is the Star of the Sea, the Solace of our desert, and the Light that guides us to heaven. - St. John Bosco.
I really wish I had read that reflection yesterday . . . but it is still timely today, for the storm soon passes and the Lord is still beside me, I've noticed. Thank God, I notice! My prayer is that I notice just a tad sooner so that I can face things with prayer from the beginning.
Do not be surprised that Mary is said to be a martyr in spirit. According to Paul, one of the greatest crimes of the Gentiles was the lack of love. This was far from the Heart of Mary. Let it be far from her servants as well. - St. Bernard.
Prayer is such a soothing balm.
