“No punishment can suppress the inalienableREPENTANT4A dignity of those who have committed evil. The door to repentance and rehabilitation must always remain open.”

                                          -Pope John Paul II

 

 

For Reflection:

To what extent do I keep the door to repentance and rehabilitation open for those who have injured me? Am I seeking to repent and rehabilitate in light of those to whom I have caused injury?

To shelter and protect!  Is there any better way of expressing the functions of a mother?  In this form, with these examples, part poetical and part metaphysical, the Queen of Heaven told Juan Diego, the Mexican nation, the world, that she is the one one who protects and assists; that it is she who gives peace and life; that it is she who with motherly tenderness carries the child in her arms, presses it to her heart and quiets and defends it.  Greater precision is impossible; greater beauty cannot be conceived.
