"I am your most merciful Mother"



A great sign
appeared in
the sky:

a woman clothed

with the sun,

with the moon

under her feet,

and on her head

a crown of twelve
stars.

- Rev 12:1




From today's entry in Advent & Christmas with Fulton J. Sheen:

"In what does your life consist except two things: Active duties; and passive circumstances. The first is under your control; do these in God's name. The second is outside your control; these submit to in God's name. Consider only the present; leave the past to God's justice, the future to his Providence. Perfection of personality does not consist of knowing God's plan, but in submitting to it as it reveals itself in the circumstances of life. There is really one shortcut to sanctity... abandoment to the Divine Will."

Our Lady of the Americas, Ora pro nobis.
