Bless God for having given you Mary as your Mother. Imitate her, and
consider what a blessing it is for you to have so powerful an advocate
in Heaven.--_St. Teresa._
Humility cannot subsist without love, nor love without humility--and
one can never be acquired without the other.--_The same._
The more we mortify our natural inclinations, so much the more do we
merit to receive supernatural inspirations.--_Francis of Sales._
