and began to speak in different tongues,
as the Spirit enabled them to proclaim" (Acts 2:1-4).

"Beloved:
Clothe yourselves with humility
in your dealings with one another, for:
God opposes the proud
but bestows favor on the humble.
So humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God,
that he may exalt you in due time.
Cast all your worries upon him because he cares for you.
Be sober and vigilant.
Your opponent the Devil is prowling around like a roaring lion
looking for someone to devour.
Resist him, steadfast in faith,
knowing that your brothers and sisters throughout the world
undergo the same sufferings.
The God of all grace
who called you to his eternal glory through Christ Jesus
will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you
after you have suffered a little.
To him be dominion forever. Amen." 1 Peter 5:5B-14

"The mission of Mary's Advocates is to strengthen marriage, to eliminate forced no-fault divorce, and to support those who have been unjustly abandoned by their spouse."
From the heart of a parent, uniting with Mary in prayer and reflecting on the thoughts she may
have had beginning with her son's infancy, then empathizing with her being confronted with Christ's Passion, is an incomprehensible experience. To imagine her as a mother witness her son after the Resurrection, is simply stunning, captivating, and points one to God's grace, comfort, power, and miracle available in the lives of us all. - Edward C.L.D., Catholic Dads HQ
