Ave Maria!— April’s Theme: Obedience

“May the Immaculate rule over us ‘despotically’. May She kindly deign to not respect our free will and, in case we ever want to let ourselves go from Her immaculate hand, may She constrain us, even if it makes us suffer and suffer much, even if we protest and say no and pray otherwise; may She pay attention to none of this, but rather constrain us by force and, precisely in those moments, press us ever more firmly to Her Heart.” (SK #373)

Ave Maria!— April’s Theme: Obedience

“Everything that does not depend on our will, whether it be of the past, future or present, is the best thing for each one of us, so much so that no one could imagine absolutely anything better, because it comes from the Father, whose goodness surpasses all, through the hands of the Immaculate. Then why be sad?” (SK #965)
