Something the Blessed Mother taught me....

She showed me why she is called Immaculate. She didn't tell me in words, but just impressions in my mind -- a kind of sure understanding. She's clean inside and out. No spot or blemish. No unkind thought or word. We, on the other hand, might seem very kind and loving to most people, but inside the stray unkind thought happens all too often. We may be striving to be like her, but we haven't quite made it (or as in my case, we are far from her perfection). When asked about those who believe in reincarnation, her response was: "they are mistaken". She didn't put them down or write them off, she just said: "they are mistaken".
