« Holy Mary, Mother of God, our Mother, teach us to believe, to hope, to love with you. Show us the way to his Kingdom! Star of the Sea, shine upon us and guide us on our way! » Spe Salvi -30 November 2007

God is the first "home" of human beings, and only by dwelling in God do men and women burn with a flame of divine love that can set the world "on fire".

 

 John-Paul II
 
"Immaculate Conception, Mary, my Mother,
live in me, act in me,
speak in and through me,
think your thoughts in my mind,
love through my heart.
Give me your dispositions and feelings.
Teach, lead and guide me to Jesus.
Correct, enlighten and expand my thoughts
and behaviour. Possess my soul.
Take over my entire personnality and life, replace it with yourself.
Incline me to constant adoration
and thanksgiving.
Pray in me and through me.
Let me live in you
and keep me in this union always."

 Marthe Robin :
 

"One must never stay outside the door of one's soul, one must enter, descend into one's soul, reflect and meditate there, work and let oneself be worked over by God..."

 

"Beloved Mother, you who know so well the paths of holiness and love, teach us to lift our mind and our heart often to God, to fix our respectful and loving attention on the Trinity. And since you walk with us on the path of eternal life, do not remain a stranger to the weak pilgrims your charity is ready to welcome. Turn your merciful face to us. Draw us into your light. Flood us with your kindnesses. Take us into the light and the love.Always take us further and higher into the splendors of heaven. Let nothing ever trouble our peace, nor turn us from the thought of God. But let each minute take us further into the depths of the awesome mystery, till the day when our soul- fully receptive to the light of the divine union - will see all things in eternal love and unity." Amen

 

 Father Finet :
 

The first condition in order to follow a retreat is to have a soul of desire.

God is a Father in pursuit of the heart of his children.

Let us be faithful to the Holy Spirit, let us confide ourselves to Him. Let us call on Him, a great deal, in our lives.
