Sisterhood of Mary

Words cannot express what Jesus has gained for us in making us children of God the Father through His sacrifice at Calvary. He has set us free from slavery to legalism, so that we might live like true children, trusting in the Father’s love. Whenever someone loves the Father, all legalism, inner tension, narrow-mindedness and joylessness disappear. Let the Father love you, and love Him in return. Then as a child of God you will be happy. You will be led by His Spirit in all matters. Through such natural, carefree and childlike joy you will draw many others to the Father, for nothing is so compelling as true childlikeness — a happy, cheerful, relaxed personality.
