Ave Maria!— April’s Theme: Obedience
“What serenity and sweetness will the heart of the religious be filled with at the end of his life upon knowing that in all things he will have paid heed only and exclusively to the will of God, to the will of the Immaculate, by means of holy obedience! How he will bless those superiors who will have broken, without pity, his own will and who will have, in a certain sense, constrained him to walk solely along the way of blind obedience.” (cf. SK #329)
