Before, by yourself, you couldn't. Now, you've turned to our Lady, and with her, how easy!

Many Christians take their time and have leisure enough in their social life (no hurry here). They are leisurely, too, in their professionally activities, at table and recreation (no hurry here either). But isn't it strange how those same Christians find themselves in such a rush and want to hurry the priest, in their anxiety to shorten the time devoted to the most holy sacrifice of the altar?

Don't judge without having heard both sides. Even persons who think themselves virtuous very easily forget this elementary rule of prudence.

When you see the storm coming, if you seek safety in that firm refuge which is Mary, there will be no danger of your wavering or going down.

All the sins of your life seem to be rising up against you. Don't give up hope! On the contrary, call your holy mother Mary, with the faith and abandonment of a child. She will bring peace to your soul.

Faith, joy, optimism. But not the folly of closing your eyes to reality.

Say the Holy Rosary. Blessed be that monotony of Hail Mary's which purifies the monotony of your sins!
