Mom did.
Don's Depot For a Son of the Immaculate Heart of Mary is a man on fire
with love, who spreads its flames wherever he goes. He desires mightily and
strives by all means possible to set the whole world on fire with God’s love.
Nothing daunts him; he delights in privations, welcomes work, embraces
sacrifices, smiles at slander, and rejoices in suffering. His only concern is
how he can best follow Jesus Christ and imitate Him in working, suffering, and
striving constantly and single-mindedly for the greater glory of God and the
salvation of souls. — St. Anthony Mary Claret
