My voices advised me to do things I could not imagine; they commanded me to do things I found repugnant. I felt sorry for the French because God felt sorry for them. I loved France for God.” ...

Reverence for Motherhood Begins With Charity, by Susan Ciancio

By Susan Ciancio, Catholic World Report - Mary continually offers herself as the mother we can strive to emulate, and every time she appears to us, she makes known her immense love... Our Blessed Mother constantly looks out for us, even when we aren’t thinking about her... I was reminded of this fact recently when I chanced upon Mary under the title of Our Lady of Charity. I had never heard of this specific title, so I searched the Internet and found a beautiful story of our heavenly mother’s protection and love. ..
