Sometimes we know what we have to do, but we lack the courage to do it. Let us learn from Mary how to make decisions, trusting in the Lord.

Accept the risen Jesus into your life. Even if you have been far away, take a small step towards Him. He awaits you with open arms.

The life of Jesus is a life for others. It is a life of service.

Let us never forget this, he is pure mercy, let us go to Jesus!
