It is cold, but it is beautiful.

Notre Dame d’Esperance de Pontmain, dearest Mother, I hear you again. Thank you, my life, my sweetness, and my hope.

Thank you for “All Things Marian”. Thank you, Jesus, Child of Mary, for giving us such a good and tender Mother, full of grace.

As you have instructed, dearest Lady, “Pray, my children; God will soon answer your prayers.”

For the children you have given to me, Holy Mother, who have your name forever with them, I will do as you command. And please, dear Lady, obtain for me an increase in Faith, Hope, and Charity, that these theological virtues may bear the fruits of His peace, gentleness, purity, and humility.

Notre Dame d’Esperance de Pontmain, priez pour nous pauvres pecheurs.

It is cold, and I am weary, but you, dearest Mother, give warmth to my soul. My life, my sweetness, and my hope. May it be given to my children, too, dearest Mother, now and forever.
