Choose a statue of the Mother of God or her image that you like, and often stay before it. Only God Himself knows what transformation your soul will undergo in the process. One day, however, you will understand that the Christian life can become a marvelous power. Piety that can transform people's lives is not a frail piety of Sunday mornings, or a Saturday piety with Sunday validity – one must direct their whole life toward God.
(Father Jerome /1907–1985/, monk of the Trappist monastery in Sept-Fons,
Antiphon to the Angelic Greeting)
