My immaculate mother,

St. Joseph, my father and Lord,

my guardian angel,

Anytime is good for prayer.

Anytime is an opportunity to talk to you, my Lord.

And as usual, I pray with the gospel.

Because in the gospel, I have your life, which is always a treasure to rediscover.

throughout centuries. And to know that I'm holding in my hands such a legacy gives me reassurance

and joy and connection with people from all over the place, all over the world, from any

time in history.

and later on, all the traditions in every country have followed.
