Music

Broken instrument. Closeup of old, broken piano keys with the quote: "Some people have more spectacular tasks than others, but we must not assess the value of our lives in the sight of God by the world’s values. We may not even be meant to use all our talents in this life, for some may be meant to lie fallow, so let us not fret if our lives do not seem to provide us with much opportunity to display them."—Fr. Bonaventure Perquin, from Abba, Father
Meant to Lie Fallow
Photo of an emotional singer holding a microphone while looking down sadly and reflecting with the quote: Hear us Father and answer our prayer. That, when we are tempted to vainglory, we may gain the Blessed Virgin Mary’s humility. That, when our efforts seem fruitless, we may remember to call upon the names of Jesus and Mary for strength. That, when we feel lonely or discouraged, the name of Mary may give us comfort and encouragement. That our relationship to the Mother of God may bring us ever closer to her Son, Jesus.
