What Kind of Person You Have Been

Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Virgin Passionist: 27th February 

The saint of the young, The saint of miracles, The saint of the smile

 

 

“Love Mary! … She is loveable, faithful, constant. She will never let herself be outdone in love, but will ever remain supreme. If you are in danger, she will hasten to free you. If you are troubled, she will console you. If you are sick, she will bring you relief. If you are in need, she will help you. She does not look to see what kind of person you have been. She simply comes to a heart that wants to love her. She comes quickly and opens her merciful heart to you, embraces you and consoles and serves you. She will even be at hand to accompany you on the trip to eternity” ~ St Gabriel Possenti to his brother

 

“With sin, O Jesus, I gave you your death, but I do not despair of your forgiveness. Those scourges call me, those arms extended invite me, that injured Heart offers me a secure shelter.”
