Who doesn’t need anything from our God or Virgin Mary? It’s said that the Virgin Mary is upset on those who never ask her anything! She is the new world and the prayer of Virgin Mary is as strong as the power of God.

Be therefore a child hearted son of the Virgin! Unless you do not want, you can escape the earthly concerns. We need to have more will and not let ourselves overwhelmed by earthly cares, to put order into our lives and think much higher. If we would ask those who have already obtained their salvation, those who are in heaven “What was the price of so much joy?” they would say “Just time, a little time spent well”.
