  11. The mystery, indeed, is that God in her infinite compassion has linked herself for eternity with the life of her children. She has freely chosen to become dependent on her creatures, whom she has gifted with freedom. This choice causes her grief when they leave; this choice brings her gladness when they return. But her joy will not be complete until all who have received life from her have returned “home” and gather together around the table prepared for them.” (PG 101-102)

  12. “Who is Your Mother?”Let Mother God hold and embrace you. May She hold you to her bosom and caress your cares and worries. She is on your side.
