Ave Maria - John Jerome Rooney

Lady thy soldier I would be
This day I choose thy shield
And go thrice-armored for the fight
Forth to the world's wide field.

Blessed Chiara Luce Badano

This is a picture of a young Italian girl, sure she looks like any other girl yet there is something special about her... She is one of the Blessed in heaven with our Lord! Blessed Chiara Luce Badano, pray for us!
1971-1989

St. Francis de Sales on accepting and carrying your cross

"The everlasting God has in his wisdom foreseen from all eternity the cross that he now presents to you as a gift from his inmost heart. This cross he now sends you he has considered with his all-knowing eyes, understood with his divine mind, tested with his wise justice, warmed with loving arms, and weighed with his own hands, to see that it be not one inch too large and not one ounce too heavy for you. He has blessed it with his holy name, anointed it with his grace, perfumed it with his consolation, taken one last glance at you and your courage and then sent it to you from heaven, a special greeting from God to you, an alms of the all-merciful love of God."
