When we return home from the affairs of the world which is different from us in thought and action, we need a spiritual "burst of power". Where can we find an easier access then in our home shrine? There the Blessed Mother is near us, and it is she who without delay leads us to God's stream of life, according to her own word: "do whatever he tells you" (Jn. 2:5). At that moment we experience in increased measure Christ's life and thinking, his light and action. Pope Paul VI has stated: "Mary is always the way that leads to Christ. What else is the meaning of the perpetual refuge in Mary if not a search in her, through her and with her for Christ the Savior in her arms, to whom men in the worldly mazes and dangers must turn as to a harbor of salvation and a well of life surpassing all comprehension, and without whom they will never be able to manage.
