We are fools for Christ...When reviled, we bless; when persecuted, we bear it; when maligned, we respond with kindness.
- 1 Cor 4:10-13

Reflection: Those who burn with the fire of Divine Love are children of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and wherever they go they enkindle that flame. Nothing distresses them; they rejoice in poverty, labor strenuously, welcome hardships, laugh off false accusations, and rejoice in anguish.
- St. Anthony Claret

Prayer: O Mary, teach me to offer all my prayers, works, and sufferings of each day in union with your Immaculate Heart to Jesus for the salvation of the world.
