Her warmth and great affection

May 21
“Mary became all to all; to all she offers the bosom of her mercy, that all may receive of it: the slave, his redemption, the infirm, health; the afflicted, comfort; the sinner, pardon; and God, glory – that there should be no one who would not feel her warmth and great affection.”
-St. Bernardine of Siena

Most loving mother

May 7
“When at the annunciation the Most Blessed Virgin gave the consent which was expected by the Eternal Word before becoming her Son, she from that moment asked our salvation of God with intense ardor, and took it to heart in such a way that from that moment, as a most loving mother,
she bore us in her womb.”
-St. Bernardine of Siena

Faith, humility, and confidence

October 28
“Recite your Rosary with faith, with humility, with confidence, and with perseverance.”
-St. Bernardine of Siena
  Today’s Reflection:
When I pray the Rosary, do I recite it with faith, humility, confidence, and perseverance? If not, how can I do so?

Lenten Journey Through the Sorrows of Mary: Every grace

February 19
“Every grace that this world receives is ordinarily distributed in three steps: from God to Christ, from Christ to the Virgin, and from the Virgin to us.”
-St. Bernardine of Siena
For Reflection:
How are these three steps visible in both the moment of Mary’s Annunciation as well as in Simeon’s prophesy at Jesus’ Presentation? Journal any insights or blessings you receive as you ponder this reality.
