May the Lord guide your hearts to the love of God
and to the perseverance of Christ.
-2 Thes 3:5

REFLECTION.  The love of Christ so wounded and
transfixed Mary's Heart that no part of it remained
untouched.  Thus, she fulfilled the First Commandment
in all its extension and without the slightest imperfection.
-St. Bernard

PRAYER.  O Mary, your love for God is greater than the love of all
human beings together.  Teach me to love God with all my heart,
all my mind, and all my soul.
