“Maria, Madre di Gesù, dammi il tuo cuore, tanto bello, tanto puro, tanto immacolato, tanto pieno d’amore e d’umiltà, così che io possa ricevere Gesù nel Pane della Vita,
amarlo come tu l’hai amato e servirlo sotto le spoglie del più povero dei poveri”. Madre Teresa

Que o teu olhar nunca se desvie de nós.
