The priest is the fiber of the vertebra of the back of Christ, because he is born with that seal from the womb of his mother.

Silence brings withdrawal, light, and peace to our hearts in order to meet with our loved ones.
April 3rd
We must work silently, without making to much noise.
April 4th
Others can make attempts against us, but we Catholics cannot. Have you not seen the Holy Father going from one place to another shedding blessings and graces? They did it, they tried to kill him, they have done so many things to him, and he stands with such humility. This is what touches my heart.. his humility and simplicity.
April 5th
While we have flesh, blood, and senses, the soul cannot be perfect, but what we can do is give the best of our lives to our families, mates and friends.

The highest force a human being has is the freedom of his thoughts, in which the Lord and the Holy Spirit work with the needed gifts that will help him fulfill himself.

Virtues are sources that spring from the ocean of the mercy of God. The ocean of his mercy will make itself felt in each one of us.
April 10th
Our Lady is asking us to unite as the waves of the sea do when they approach the beach, when they approach the sand to rest there. This is what she wants, she wants us all to be united with all the seas of the world, on all the land of the world.
April 11th
We must develop our will power so the unpleasant things that we see do not affect us so much, and so we can receive the pleasant things with a nice face, smiling, and thanking the Lord.
April 12th
The most important thing is to be in peace.
April 13th
The Lord loves human docility very much, because He is in it; He was so docile that He went to a Cross to save us.

Joy rests on the glory of the Lord; this is our joy, everything rests on Him.

Our faith and devotion must be to the Father who created us, to his Divine Son who gave Himself on the Cross to save us, to the Holy Spirit who enlightens the safe path, and to Mary, Our Mother.
April 16th
Your goal is the theological virtue of faith, following the work of hope, accompanied by charity.

Faith saves, hope is the dream of living, and charity is love. These are the three theological virtues that we must trust in.
April 18th
The love of Christ is so great that is makes us overcome everything.
April 19th
I do not ask to be matched in my love, but I do ask you to do things right, to live righteously, to be honest, worthy of the love of God, with human qualities. These are the most sacred things a human being can have with the incentive of living the Gospel.
April 20th
Betania is the house of my Mother, all this is her home, the plantations and that temple that has been erected are hers.
April 21st
There is a law of cause and effect; therefore, we must live a very correct life in all senses.
April 22nd
To share is beautiful, this is why families have to continuously share, to look forward to getting together… set the table, prepare a good meal, have some fruit and get dressed up as if you were to go out.
April 23rd
Do not get angry or get heated by any circumstances, although it may be difficult to control yourself. We must slowly tame our nature.
April 24th
The Father calls us, counsels us, gives us enough strength to undertake the path we must follow, giving us courage, divine energy and great charity.
April 25th
The Hour of Adoration on the Eucharistic Thursdays is what has strengthened me; the Holy Hour, the great hour of meeting with Jesus at the foot of the Blessed Sacrament of the altar, kneeling there, and asking for mercy on the world.
April 26th
How do we do away with temptation in communities? With constant prayer and by following the people. It is not that you are going to tell the person: Look, do this. Follow him; this is how to work our spiritual life.
April 27th
The Holy Spirit works in me as apostle of the Heart of Mary, and I bow my head as a symbol of humility to receive the grace.
April 28th
Life has taught me to live the Gospel, not to read it, but to live it and carry it in my heart as a blessed treasure from heaven, that inflames the heart, soul, and spirit to compensate the difficult hours of life.
April 29th
Children, our parents are the greatest thing we have; do not deny them anything. If you have a problem, they will be there ready to help you, protect you, to assess you, and to give you the place you deserve.
April 30th
It is so beautiful when we feel in our heart that there is joy in our family, that there is a canticle, a hymn, a song, an emotion that makes us live and think that we still are young, and that we can play with our children as if we were brothers, lifting our steps to the understanding of what the Family of God truly means!
