Teachings of the Church Faith in God leads us to turn to him alone as our origin and our ultimate goal, and neither to prefer anything to him nor to substitute anything for him. CCC 229 Wisdom of the Saints When our hands have touched spices, they give fragrance to all they handle. let us make our prayers pass through the hands of the Blessed Virgin. She will make them fragrant ~ St. John Vianney
