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.”
