Let nothing trouble or afflict thee.  Am I not here, I who am thy Mother?  Thou art beneath my shadow and protection. And am not I life and health? In my lap art thou, and counted as mine. What more dost thou need? I shall show my tender clemency for those who love and seek me,  for all who implore my protection, who call on me in their labors and afflictions.   -Our Lady of Guadeloup
