We cannot fathom the depth of the love of the Mother of God, but this we know: The greater the love, the greater the sufferings of the soul. The fuller the love, the fuller the knowledge of God. The more ardent the love, the more fervent the prayer. The more perfect the love, the holier the life.

                    - St. Silouan
