I therefore command all my Brothers, those living now and those to come in the future, to venerate the Holy Mother of God, whom we always implore to be our Protectress, to praise her at all times, in all circumstances of life, with all the means in their power and with the greatest devotion and submission.
Francis of AssisiWhen I think of the happiness that is in store for me, every sorrow, every pain becomes dear to me.
Francis of Assisi
