We will overcome difficult and incomprehensible moments with the strength granted by our Heavenly Father. Our Love for Him has no limits and there is no room for sadness in His heart .

Let us encourage meetings with the children of the family. Let us pay attention to the pure message that the Lord gives us through them. If we are in a bad moment, we can marvel at how the pain is expelled from within us to be transformed into Love.
