St. Elijah Minatius, Bishop of Kefalonia, 1669 -1714

Orphans who have lost their parents, strangers, homeless, sick, sorrowful, sinful, do not be sad: you have a Mother, Mother of God! Mother, Who will shelter you on your journey, Who will nourish you in poverty, Who will give you consolation in sorrows, healing in sickness, liberation from captivity, forgiveness in sins. Do not grieve: you have the Mother of God.
