"It
takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God.
Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in
one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each
other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central
loyalty life is unfinished."
Fulton J. Sheen, Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from
Cana and Calvary |

The Kitchen Madonna:
Patroness of The
Catholic View for Women
Mary was not only Jesus' Mother, but also a housewife.
Her utensils are earthly and heavenly symbols. The key
represents the safety in the house and also the way
into heaven. The kettle symbolizes nourishment for
body and soul. The broom represents cleanliness in the
home and in thoughts and deeds.
