A Mary heart is a spiritual and gentle heart. Those who possess one are sensitive, and their sensitivity will extend to all created beings.

One of your product lines is Having a Mary heart in a Martha world.

The second paragraph under the first subheading, Religion and Rationality, concludes that "Islam at its best hosted a great philosophical tradition derived from Greek thought."

The Storms in North West Britain
The first paragraph to your first subheading, The extent and severity of the storm, describes Seathwaite as "rainiest place" in England.
