Here saw I a great oneing betwixt Christ and us, to mine understanding: for when He was in pain, we were in pain.

Our Savior is our true Mother in whom we are endlessly born and out of whom we shall never come.

Prayer is the deliberate and persevering action of the soul. It is true and enduring, and full of grace. Prayer fastens the soul to God and makes it one with God's will.

Prayer is a new, gracious, lasting will of the soul united and fast-bound to the will of God by the precious and mysterious working of the Holy Ghost.

As we know, our own mother bore us only into pain and dying. But our true mother, Jesus, who is all love, bears us into joy and endless living. Blessed may he be.

All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.

Where do we begin? Begin with the heart.
