Your counsel to us extends back to your earthly life when you spoke of your Son, commanding us: “Do whatever He tells you.”
. . . For an increase in love, trust, and devotion to your Immaculate Heart that leads us to Jesus, pray for us.

She is indeed a star (that) enlightens, guides, and leads us to a harbor in the stormy sea of this world. She is this clear and brilliant star rising above this great and spacious sea, shining by her merits and enlightening by her example.
You have without a doubt a need for light in this life, where you are always as if upon a stormy sea, at the risk of your salvation. Have recourse to Mary. She will enlighten you and help you know God's will for you because she shares in the light of Jesus Christ her Son. She herself is a light shining in the darkness.
John Baptist de la Salle
Meditation 164: Meditation on the Holy Name of Mary
If we could lift the veil, and if we were attentive and watchful God would continually reveal Himself to us, and we should see His divine action in everything that happened to us, and rejoice in it. At each successive occurrence, we should exclaim: 'It is the Lord', and we should accept every fresh circumstance as a gift of God.
Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade
