I would like the angels of Heaven to be among us. I would like an abundance of peace. I would like full vessels of charity. I would like rich treasures of mercy. I would like cheerfulness to preside over all. I would like Jesus to be present. I would like the three Marys of illustrious renown to be with us. I would like the friends of heaven to be gathered around from all parts. I would like myself to be a rent payer to the Lord; that I should suffer distress, that he would bestow good blessing upon me. I would like a great lake of beer for the King of Kings. I would like to be watching Heaven’s family drinking it through all eternity. St. Brigid
(The three Marys were Mary Magdalene, Mary of Clopas, and Mary Salome the disciple)
