l. The member will have only one desire: to walk with Mary and Jesus as his companions, towards the Father who is stretching out his arms to him. He wants to be the prodigal son who returns to the Father.

Little by little, he will learn to love himself as a child of the Father. Through greater self-knowledge, he will place himself at the service of his brothers and sisters. He will want to do the Father's will in everything. He will make his own the psalmist's prayer: “I acknowledge before you what a marvel I am, what an amazing being I am: astonishing are your works, my whole soul knows it. My bones were not hidden from you when I was fashioned in secret, shaped in the bowels of the earth. I was still unfinished, you saw me.~ (Ps.138).

He will welcome every daily event as a grace that will help lead him to holiness. Like Mary, he will say yes to the Father's will for him; yes to the daily cross; yes to joy and profound peace. He will accept to walk in faith, not knowing where it will lead him.

6. The cross on which the instruments of the Passion are found will be the sign of his belonging to the community cell of Notre-Dame de la Salette. He will carry this cross on himself and in his heart. Through the hammer, he will be constantly reminded of the many sins of human beings who continue to crucify their Savior. By accepting to be a pincer, the member accepts, by accepting the crosses of each day, to contribute with the Son to the redemption of humanity.

18. He will unceasingly invoke the Holy Spirit, crying out: “Maranatha, maranatha, come Lord Jesus, come.”

19. He will turn to the Virgin Mary, his model par excellence, who unceasingly intercedes in heaven for each of her children. He will unite himself deeply to her prayer, so that the Son, the Way, the Truth and the Life may be recognized as Savior and Lord.

2O. Prayer doesn't just consist in the number of words, nor in the repetition of formulas. It's a heart-to-heart with God, the Father, full of tenderness for each and every one of us. To pray is to enter deeply into ourselves, establishing a close relationship with the Loving Father. To pray is to surrender our lives into the hands of the Father who unceasingly cares for each one of us.
