<blockquote>In November of 1830 was a period when God and His Church were being attacked by His enemies, and ignored by the faithful. Our Lady appeared in Paris to a humble Sister of Charity, Catherine Labouré, and told her about the evils of the world, which were to become more intense in the years that lay ahead. She then portrayed an image signifying her Immaculate Conception. She instructed Sister Catherine to have a medal made to that likeness, which should be worn by all as a safeguard against the snares of the devil. As Sister Catherine tells it:“The Blessed Virgin was standing on a globe, and her face was beautiful beyond words. Her fingers were covered with pre­cious jewels whose light dazzled me. And I heard: ‘Behold the symbol of the graces I shed upon those who ask for them!’ Then an oval frame formed around the Blessed Virgin and I read in let­ters of gold: ‘O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee.’ The vi­sion reversed and I beheld the letter ‘M’ surmounted by a cross, at the foot of the cross, a bar, and below all, the Heart of Jesus crowned with thorns, and the Heart of Mary pierced with a sword. A voice said to me, ‘Have a medal struck after this model. Persons who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it around the neck.'”</blockquote>

Domodossola - The fresco of Souls in the Purgatory in church Chiesa dei Santi Gervasio e Protasio

Eternal Father, I offer Thee the Most Precious Blood of Thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.

Prayer of St. Gertrude the Great for the Souls in Purgatory

<blockquote>Some seek knowledge for the sake of knowledge: that is curiosity. Others seek knowledge that they themselves be known: that is vanity. But there are still others who seek knowledge in order to serve and edify others, and that is charity.— St. Bernard of Clairvaux</blockquote>

Sculpture "Saint Teresa" by Gregorio Fernandez in the Museum and house of Santa Teresa of Avila.

<blockquote>Let nothing disturb you, nothing shake you. Everything passes, God does not change. Patience obtains everything. Whoever has God lacks nothing. Only God suffices. Elevate your thoughts to the heavens above. Let nothing distress you, nothing disturb you. Follow Jesus Christ with a big-heart, and come what may let nothing disturb you. Do you see the glory of the world? It’s vain-glory. Nothing is stable, everything passes. Aspire unto the heavens which last forever. Faithful and rich in promises— God never changes. Love that which merits an immense goodness. But there is no pure love without patience. Confidence and a living faith maintain the soul. He who believes and hopes obtains everything. Even if it seems you’re besieged by hell– he who has God will mock its fury. Let it all come, then: desertions, crosses, disgraces. If God is your treasure, you’ll lack nothing. Begone, then, goods of the world and vain sayings. Even if everything is lost, God alone suffices.—St. Teresa of Ávila</blockquote>
