Adding Examples of Jesus and Mary in our Daily Life

Mother Angelica translates this example of Jesus and Mary to our daily life in the following examples:

- To see a Christian believe in God's Love when sorrow befalls gives Hope.
- To see joy on the face of a Christian beset with trials and problems, gives us a new concept of
Faith.
- To see someone crushed but serene over the death of a loved one, makes us realize there is
another life.
- To see sickness and pain patiently borne gives us courage.
- To see a friend who has suffered the loss of all things begin again with trust and love, gives
us strength to continue on.
- To see forgiveness and mercy after friends quarrel, brings joy to our hearts.
- To see sinners turn to God and rise to great heights of sanctity, increases our trust in His
Love and Mercy.
