Maria loved soft, woolly lambs!

"Someday I'll take care of them," she smiled in her heart.

Maria's father told her stories about a very special Lamb:
the PASCHAL LAMB!

"Jesus is the Paschal Lamb, another name for EASTER LAMB."

"Like a gentle lamb he bled and died that we might go to Heaven."

Tears came to Maria's eyes to think of such a loving Lamb.

Maria followed her heart and grew up to care for Lambs:
the poor people of Jesus' flock.

Still TODAY she takes care of you and me!
"YOU ARE SPECIAL!" Maria says, (and really means it!)

Blest be the Blood of Jesus Christ!

(This tiny prayer scares the devil off the fastest because he hates to hear the words that defeated him!
Say it when he's bothering you! See Revelations 12:10-11)
