Mastering the grey everyday
Look for the good!
“Drawing good out of good is not so hard. But God alone, in his omnipotence, his love and his wisdom, can draw good from evil.” Fr. Jacques Phillipe

Immaculate Conception
“Man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart” (1 Sm 16:7). And Mary’s heart was fully disposed to the fulfillment of the divine will. This is why the Blessed Virgin is the model of Christian expectation and hope… In her heart there is no shade of selfishness: she desires nothing for herself except God’s glory and human salvation. For her, the very privilege of being preserved from original sin is not a reason to boast, but one for total service to her Son’s redemptive mission.” St. John Paul II
