‘Mother, I could not live without you. Please guide me in the purity and strength of your love. Lead me within your arms to Jesus.’

“Let me take you, my son, within the arms of Jesus each day to offer yourself at the foot of the Holy Cross, to say to Jesus that you love him.”

‘Yes, mother. Yes. May the light of your son’s love uplift me within his arms this day to worship him, to adore him. And to say, “Jesus, I pray to always be yours and to love you and only you, all the days of my life.”’
