A woman strong in Christ provides a healing touch in image and song. St Francis possessed such a mother in Pica, a distinguished, refined French woman. Our Holy Father has provided us all with the most loving of all Mother’s, the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Build Your Secret Slowly
A beautiful St Clare, as she was always witnessed to be, sheds tears in Brother Sun, Sister Moon.
If you want your dream to be
Take your time go slowly
Do few things
But do them well
Heartfelt work grows purely
If you want to live life free
Take your time go slowly
Do few things but do them well
Heartfelt work grows purely
Day by day
Stone by stone
Build your secret slowly
Day by day
You’ll grow to
You’ll know heaven’s glory
If you want your dream to be
Take your time go slowly
If you want to live life free
Take your time go slowly
Small beginnings, bigger ends
Heartfelt work grows purely
Do few things but do them well
Heartfelt joys are holy

Adoration. Preparation. The offerings of the little drummer boy.
Unfortunate children! I have punished you and driven you from the Garden of Eden. Now you enter a world of sorrow and trouble that staggers imagination. I want you to know that My love for you will never end. You will meet with tribulation that will embitter you. Out of My heavenly treasure, I give priceless pearls: Tears! When grief overtakes you, when your heart aches, and great anguish grips your soul, then there will fall from your eyes tears. I, your Lord, grace you with tears. Use them wisely for cleansing your soul. Shed with sincerity and authenticity, tears instantly reunite you with My love. –an ancient Jewish legend.

Obedience
As if the Lord, to quote St. Bernard, willed to teach us thereby that neither zeal for good works, nor the sweetness of divine contemplation, nor the tears of penitence would have been acceptable to him apart from obedience. –Abbot Vital Lehodey, O.C.R. ‘The Way That Leads To God’.
