256 intervention of Divine Providence so that this charism might continue in the life of the Church. All of us, who wish for your Congregation to live and to also grow further today, unite with you in a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord for this precious work of your Renovator. Let us conclude our refl ection with the words of your Blessed Renovator: “Most Blessed Virgin Mary, I ask you to obtain from your Son the grace to love your more, to have ever more confi dence in you, and to cherish your glorious protection more and more. Take our Congregation under your powerful protection, O Mother. Accept us, unworthy though we are–so destitute, such spiritual beggars–if for no other reason than, at least, because of the name we bear. Grant that our lives be pure and untainted.”5 5 George Matulaitis-Matulewicz, Journal, p. 92-93, Stockbridge, 2003.
