A good quote in my daily reading guide by Pope Benedict XVI and thanks to another friend (T) for blessing me each month with this reading guide.
"By Mary's obedient 'Fiat,' the earth has become heaven.
'In Jesus God has placed, in the midst of barren, despairing mankind, a new beginning which is not a product of human history but a gift from above' (Pope Benedict XVI) all that our heart cries out for became flesh in Mary's womb." Magnificat 3/25/14

Experts from the Diary of St. Maria Faustina
"A retreat of suffering. O Jesus, in these days of suffering I am not capable of any kind of prayer. The oppression of my body and soul is increased. O my Jesus, You do see that Your child is on the decline. I am not forcing myself further, but simply submitting my will to the will of Jesus. O Jesus, You are always Jesus to me." (1204)
St Maria Faustina, Pray for me, help me to make your prayer my own, to be open me to be willing and open to the will of Jesus for me.
