we present to you through the hands
of Mary, Queen of the Apostles,
and of our Father, St. Paul.

will, arrive at the degree of perfection
and heavenly glory to which you have
destined us, and perform the apostolate
of social communication in a holy
manner. But we see that we are very
weak, ignorant, incapable and
inadequate in every way:
in spirit, in knowledge, in the apostolate
and in poverty.

things
comes
from God.
Everything
is his.
Let us have
