Pray, my brethren, to the Mother of God when the storm of enmity and malice bursts forth in your house. She, Who is all-merciful and all-powerful, can easily pacify the hearts of men.
Peace and love proceed from the one God, as from their Source, and our Lady-in God, as the Mother of Christ, is zealous and prays for the peace of the whole world, and above all- of all Christians.
St. John of Kronstadt
