«My dear Maria, (...) I am sure that you too spent the month of May in the flower beds of the Marian virtues, perfumed by the special smell of May, intense, sharp and deep and now nourished and remade by them it has become the queen of religious life. With Jesus King one cannot live if not Queen; with Jesus the Triumphant King, those won by the world or by one's own love are ugly dark shadows that dishonor Him, especially if these shadows are the ones He has called as Brides. (...) Do you remember the pact made in the Oratory? Be all, always, eternally of Jesus! (...) Always pray for me and for the Oratory. I bless you»
