Seven siblings are suddenly orphaned when their parents died in a tragic car accident. They are afraid they may be separated from each other but then a couple living far away decides to give them a second chance, a second chance seven. And it is also a second chance seven for their new parents who already sent into the world their five children and suddenly, their empty home comes to life again. The official adoption process was closed in 2020 and all seven became officially the Willis Family. People are good, there is so much love in their hearts. You can read and watch this story here.

Did you know that Mary continues to speak to us today? We would like to share with you a collection of 10 messages from the Virgin Mary that we think every Catholic should know. Especially for those who are actively engaged in apostolic activity, a deep and personal relationship with Mary is an absolute must.
Let us never forget that Mary is considered to be the first disciple of Christ; she is therefore model, guide, and Mother to all those who wish to bring others to a new life in the Lord Jesus. We invite you to take a moment to today to meditate on these words, to savour them, for they are full of mercy and love. Then take a moment and think of others that might benefit from hearing them, those who right now need in a special way some words of encouragement and consolation, and share these images with them so that they too might rejoice in their warmth."
