“Listen and let it penetrate your  heart…do not be troubled or weighed down with grief.

Do not fear illness or vexation, anxiety or pain.

Am I not here who am your Mother?

Are you not under my shadow and protection?

Am I not your fountain of life?

Are you not in the folds of my mantle?

In the crossing of my arms ?

Is there anything else you need?”
