Three Our Fathers, three Hail Marys, and three Glorias in worship of Our Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit; the Trinity for whom St. Charles Garnier willingly died that the aboriginal peoples of North America might come to know our Saviour Jesus Christ and live forever in Him.

St. Charles Garnier, SJ:
"Oh, I do not believe that we can commit a greater fault in the service of God than to lose courage and to allow our hearts to be cast down by distrust and pusillanimity. All other sins are nothing in comparison with that one - at least, there is none that so much impedes our progress as this low estimate of the goodness of God toward us. Very often it is by that sin that the devil takes possession of our hearts, which he then lays open to all others."
