When enmity and malice strike

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 the Peace, is zealous, and prays for the peace of the whole world, and above all--of all Christians.  St. John of Kronstadt
