“I am all aflame though there is no fire. I feel myself held fast and bound to the Son by means of this Mother…. I’d like to fly off to invite all creatures to love Jesus and Mary.”

                                                                          St. Pio of Pietrelcina  

For Reflection: 

Have you ever felt so full of love for Jesus and Mary? When? Describe that moment in a journal. Do you think it is an example of mysticism? Why or why not? How does this quote of St Pio identify the role of Our Lady and her fulfillment of it?
