O Mary, I wish I could see how you used to behave toward father and mother, especially toward St. Anne; and then how you behaved toward the priests of the temple; and then toward St. Joseph; and toward St. Elizabeth, and St. John the Baptist; and afterwards toward the Apostles, especially toward St. John. I should see how sweet and lovely you were to every one of them; but still your heart was with Jesus only. And they would all feel and understand this, however kind you were to them.

Amen.
