"When we feel within ourselves resistance against God’s will; when the conflict between our spiritual ideals and the reality of our attachments is strong, we know that our anguish can only be relieved by one stronger than ourselves who understands our struggle. There is no shame in seeing that we need to be lead by the hand, that we need someone to guide us according to God’s plan for our lives. Such a one is the Blessed Mother. We become more her children the more we rely upon her help."

"'The doors were locked,' but 'They rejoiced when they saw the Lord.' The disciples were afraid—afraid of being harmed, insecure about the future. Better not let anybody in. This is how we are at times: Jesus stands knocking at our door and we are barricaded on the inside, afraid of something new, different, or unexpected. We’ve had bad experiences and learned our lessons the hard way. But Jesus passes through the locked door, stands in their midst and solemnly proclaims: 'Peace be with you!'"

"At several points in the Gospel, Jesus sensitively anticipates the longing that His ascension will leave in us: 'The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and you will not see it' (Luke 17:22). What is worth meditating on, though, is the Lord’s insistence that it is better for Him to go away from us than to remain under His natural, human appearances—and that it is better for us to live in a state of longing. It seems so counterintuitive to us. We are human through and through, and identify those whom we love by such things as the sound of the voice and the look of the face. More than by bodily sight, the ascended Savior wants us to be drawn to Him by desire, a desire born of faith and the Holy Spirit prompting us from within."
