1.
A man who governs his passions is master of his world. We must either command them or be enslaved by them. It is better to be a hammer than an anvil.
Saint Dominic
A person who reigns in their desires is the ruler of their own domain. We must either enforce them or be subjugated to them. It is preferable to be a force than a target.
2.
One day, through the Rosary and the Scapular, Our Lady will save the world.
Saint Dominic
One day, through the Chaplet of Beads and the Apron, Our Lady will redeem the world.
3.
Do not weep, for I shall be more useful to you after my death and I shall help you then more effectively than during my life.
