It seems you still have much to learn about family and generous love. Open your heart . . . Like the women disciples, you must first have great openness to receive a gift, whose real source is God. Once you have an open heart, the greater the gift received, the greater will be the gift given in response. The women have not ceased to be generous; they have supported us, some from their meager means, others from their wealth."

Edward Hays, The Gospel of Gabriel
