Mary had a purpose in life and was aware of what is most important.

She teaches us that no matter what our situation, career or vocation is in life, we can use our influence, intelligence and talents to do good to others, to bring peace in the world by being of service to those who need our help. We can use our power to fight crime, poverty and injustice in the world.

Reflective thought

Slide 4

Sasha Vella gives us a good example of how we can use our influence to make a better world and encourage others to do so as well.
