Ave Maria!– September’s Theme: The Cross
“Don’t let the cross trouble you. The most certain proof of love consists in suffering for the beloved, and if a God suffered so much pain for love, then the pain that one suffers for Him becomes sweet in proportion to one’s love. Be patient in the afflictions that our Lord bestows upon you and with joy unite yourself to the Divine Heart, knowing that all of this is a simple jest on the part of the Lover.”

Ave Maria!– September’s Theme: The Cross
“I exhort you to love the God who was crucified in the midst of darkness; remain near Him and say to Him, ‘It is good for me to be here, let us make three tents, one for our Lord, another for our Lady, and the third for St. John.’ Go ahead and make three crosses, put yourself at the feet of the Cross of the Son, or that of the Mother, or that of the beloved disciple. You will be well received at all three.”

Ave Maria!– September’s Theme: The Cross
“Remember, and fix it firmly in your mind, that Calvary is the summit of the Saints. But remember still that after having climbed Calvary, one immediately ascends another peak called Tabor, the Heavenly Jerusalem. Remember that suffering lasts only a little while, but the recompense is eternal.”
