Entrustment to Mary = Spiritual Nuggets to Share

The In the Arms of Mary Foundation team is on retreat this weekend and wanted to share with you some spiritual nuggets:

What is our first vocation?
 - To be a child of GOD.

How to be a child? St. Therese the Little Flower gave these points:
1. Recognize my own nothingness.
2. Trust in GOD's love and mercy.
3. Do not be discouraged with my faults and sins.
4. Do not attribute anything to myself.
5. Be grateful for ALL things.

When we see our sins, or unfaithfulness, how should we respond?
- Hope until the end! Despair and hopelessness after our sin is more offensive to GOD than the sin, itself.  

With all of this, turn to Blessed Mother - She will help pick us up when we fall and carry us on our way to Her Son!
