Mary Obtains Salvation For All Who Have Recourse To Her. Oh! If All Sinners Had Recourse To Mary, Who Would Ever Be Lost? ... He Who Is Protected By Her Will Be Saved; He Who Is Not Will Be Lost.

He Who Desires Nothing But God Is Rich And Happy.

Before The Coming Of Jesus Christ, Men Fled Away From God And, Being Attached To The Earth, Refused To Unite Themselves To Their Creator. But The Loving God Has Drawn Them To Himself By The Bonds Of Love, As He Promised By The Prophet Osee [hosea]: "i Will Draw Them With The Cords Of Adam, With The Bonds Of Love" (11:4). These Bonds Are The Benefits, The Lights, The Calls To His Love, The Promises Of Paradise Which He Makes To Us, But Above All, The Gift Which He Has Bestowed Upon Us Of Jesus Christ In The Sacrifice Of The Cross And In The Sacrament Of The Altar.

Know Also That You Will Probably Gain More By Praying Fifteen Minutes Before The Blessed Sacrament Than By All The Other Spiritual Exercises Of The Day.
