Humble Prayer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No one in the world can change Truth.<\/strong>
What we can do and and should do is to seek truth<\/strong>
and to serve it when we have found it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Immaculate will conquer, through us, the whole world and every single soul.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But grace, for ourselves and for others, is obtained by humble prayer, by mortification, and by fidelity in the accomplishment of our own ordinary duties, including the simplest ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Jesus Christ I am prepared to suffer still more.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
