A Moment for Mission

The more you esteem them, the more you will love them; the more you love

them, the more you will care for and watch over them. And it will be impossible

for you not to cherish them day and night, and to have them all engraved in your

heart, one by one, for this is how real love acts and works.

-- St. Angela Merici ~Prologue to the Counsels
