It was my total pleasure to speak about Sister Marie last evening at a local gathering of mothers at St. Anthony's Church. Moms get it. We work and pray for peace in this world not for ourselves but for our children and grandchildren. When moms who understand the power of prayer get on their knees and unite in prayer for peace for their children, God's children, the heavens rejoice!
A quotation of Sister Marie's seemed to really touch their hearts and so I share it here at the request of one of the moms who asked me to do so. It is so tied to who we are; mothers. But it also shows us that those who have not had children can still have the heart of a mother....especially when united to the Blessed Mother. What prayer power. Praise God!
" I am not a priest and cannot bless them, but all that the heart of a mother can ask of God for her children, I ask of Him and will never cease to ask Him." ~ Sister Marie
Thank you Sister Marie. You indeed have the heart of a mother. Your heart was completely united to the Heart of the Mother of God. In this way you took on Her children as your own. This explains your life's devotion to the association of the Children of Mary. Please continue to pray for us. We take such comfort in your words. They bring a special hope to our hearts.
I think that the Cause for Sister Marie may have just added some very precious and strong prayer warriors. Watch out world!
“The grace of our Lord be with us forever.” ~ Sr. Marie
