Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

From Gold Dust:

"My friend, do you know why the work you accomplish fails either to give pleasure to yourself or others? It is because it is not cheerfully done, and therefore appears discolored...Joy, with us, is like a lever, by which we lift the weights that without its help would crush us...Then sing always; let your heart sing as in its earliest years. The refrain of the heart, which perhaps never passes the lips, but which echoes in heaven, is this sentence:--"I love and I am beloved!"

"The interior life is an abiding sense of God's presence, a constant union with Him."
