    Did you learn about his total consecration to Jesus through Mary? Do you think that something you would like to do? I bet your mom can tell you more about it.

    I just read about him this morning in the Magnificat!
    I was really curious about the "Daughters of Wisdom" that he started. They didn't explain it. 😞 Do you know anything about it? Did you run across it in your research? 🤔
