Summer period gives all of us possibility to find more time not only for rest but also for our spiritual and physical renewal, so every person can pay more attention to praying, going to church and visiting of holy places, thus receiving many beautiful impressions. On these nice warm days when a soul feels the presence of our God Jesus Christ especially keen, it goes far away from all the earthly problems and is captured by God’s kindness becoming closer to it. This beauty created by the Lord is revealed to us in a very special way by the Holy Mother of God, which “has not left us after the Assumption to Heaven”. She invites all of us to come under the Protection of Her Divine Love to become a living sign of love and witness of God’s Mercy.
