"The different ways in which God, acting in history, cares for the world and for mankind are not mutually exclusive; on the contrary, they support each other and intersect. They have their origin and goal in the eternal, wise and loving counsel whereby God predestines men and women “to be conformed to the image of his Son” (Rom 8:29)."

Collect for the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Almighty ever-living God,
who, while the Blessed Virgin Mary was carrying your Son in her womb,
inspired her to visit Elizabeth,
grant us, we pray,
that, faithful to the promptings of the Spirit,
we may magnify your greatness
with the Virgin Mary at all times.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

This is what it was really like when Columbus discovered the New World:
"I claim this land in the name of their majesties Isabella and Ferdinand of Spain, and in honor of our Holy Savior, I name it San Salvador. Let us give thanks."

"In this 'liquid' world of ours, we need to start speaking once more about the heart... Yet find ourselves immersed in societies of serial consumers who live from day to day, dominated by the hectic pace and bombarded by technology, lacking in the patience needed to engage in the processes that an interior life by its very nature requires."

"[E]ncountering others does not necessarily prove to be a way of encountering ourselves, inasmuch as our thought patterns are dominated by an unhealthy individualism... The failure to make room for the heart, as distinct from our human powers and passions viewed in isolation from one another, has resulted in a stunting of the idea of a personal centre, in which love, in the end, is the one reality that can unify all the others."

"All our actions need to be put under the 'political rule' of the heart. In this way, our aggressiveness and obsessive desires will find rest in the greater good that the heart proposes and in the power of the heart to resist evil."

"[Our Lady] was able to dialogue with the things she experienced by pondering them in her heart, treasuring their memory and viewing them in a greater perspective. The best expression of how the heart thinks is found in the two passages in Saint Luke’s Gospel that speak to us of how Mary 'treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart' (cf. Lk 2:19 and 51)."

"If we find it hard to trust others because we have been hurt by lies, injuries and disappointments, the Lord whispers in our ear: 'Take heart, son! Take heart, daughter!'. He encourages us to overcome our fear and to realize that, with him at our side, we have nothing to lose."

"To see these elderly women weep, and not feel that this is something intolerable, is a sign of a world that has grown heartless... [I]n contemplating the meaning of our lives, perhaps the most decisive question we can ask is, 'Do I have a heart?'?
