Wisdom from Mother Mary Francis

Love is the answer to everything. During Our Lord’s earthly life, whether he spoke sternly or most tenderly, love was always the reason, the answer, the explanation of everything he did. Whether he suffered crudeness, contradictions, disappointments, or ingratitude, or whether he suffered the terrible flagellation and the spiny coronation and the unspeakable indignities and insults of the Passion, love was the answer. Why did he do any of these things? Love. Love is the answer to everything.
