“Although I am the Mother of God, I am simple and humble. I always place myself where you are. I love you as you are. I never reproach my little ones. When a child is without reproach in front of her mother, she will tell her everything that is in her heart. I am grateful when a child of mine is joyful with me. That joy is a most beautiful sign of trust and love. Few understand the mysteries of God’s love. Let me, as your Mother, embrace all my children with love, so that you can confide your deepest longings to me. Know that I give all your longings to my Son Jesus, your brother.” -- Our Lady as spoken to the visionaries in Kibeho
