My mirror has to be Mary. Since I am her daughter, I must resemble her, and in doing so I will resemble Jesus.

I do not tremble when I see my weakness, for the treasures of a mother belong also to her child, and I am thy child, O dear Mother Mary.

Mary, a sublime woman is, like us, what she became through the grace and goodness of God. It is true that by the will of God she was chosen by a special grace, but she responded to it without the slightest hint of hesitation and allowed herself to be taken over. She opened her heart to God and God gave himself completely to her.

There is no need for us to be advising Him about what He should give us, for He can rightly tell us that we don't know what we're asking for.

Happy Feast Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel!

Don't be terrified by the new life that is opening up to you, for being a child of Mary, she will cover you with her mantle.

In fact God seems to be wholly occupied with overwhelming the soul with caresses and marks of affection like a mother who brings up her child and feeds it with her own milk.
