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)
