May God set his Word in your heart and fill you with lasting peace. May you walk in his ways, striving for what is right and good. May our Lady, Mary, the Mother of God, guide you and watch over you daily. May she bring you closer to God as you continue your life’s journey. When you return, may you always find St. Mary’s and Casa María a place where you are always welcome. And may the Father, and the son, and the Holy Spirit be glorified in all places through the Immaculate Virgin Mary. Amen.
