we too will
have suffering
& crosses in
our lives.

In this way you will become the
potent presence of Jesus who,
by means of you, can still today
work mightily to bring all to
salvation.” (Gobbi)

to be united with his
offering. (Catechism)

and my own, that with this
sword thou fight the battles of
the Almighty in the name of the
holy Church against the
invisible enemies. (Mary of Agreda)

and of a possibility to
transform evil into good,
and to act profoundly that
souls may be led by you to
salvation.” (Gobbi)
