"This divine touch within from within - one can almost envision a Sistine Chapel-like ceiling painting of God, not the Father but the little unborn Son, straining forward and reaching out His tiny finger towards the inner heart of Mary - His mother can almost give shape to God's way of touching each human heart from deep within." Unborn Jesus Our Hope
