First Little Flowers Meeting of Wreath I :: September 18, 2008Final Little Flowers Meeting of Wreath IV :: August 3, 2012
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven.
