“Do all things without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, holding fast the word of life.”  Philippians 2: 14-16

St. Pope John Paul II
The presence of Mary, Mother of Christ, is close to us.  I entrust each one of you to this Mother.  Because she is the source of our consolation and therefore of our hopes.  Because the Mother of Christ, and our Mother, can give you the love of God as a gift.  I want to entrust you to this Mother and I want this Mother to be among you as a sweet, utterly sweet presence.  (Meeting with Inmates in Rome, December 27, 1983)
