Mary, Mother of Jesus
 


If there is any human glory, any merit of our own in the fullness of time, it is she. Mary is that space, preserved free from sin, where God chose to mirror himself. She is the stairway God took to descend and draw near to us.

Mary, Mother of Jesus
 


Jesus’ Mother always followed Jesus faithfully, keeping the eyes of her heart fixed on him, the Son of the Most High, and on his mystery. Let us ask Mary to help us too, to keep our gaze firmly fixed on Jesus and to follow him always, even when it costs what it may.

Mary, Mother of Jesus
 


In our prayer to Mary, we ask her to teach us to follow Jesus, that she may teach us to be disciples and missionaries. Like her, may we say “Yes” to God. Let us ask that her maternal heart intercede for us, so that our hearts may be open to loving Jesus and making others love him.

The Mother of the Lord is the perfect icon of faith.
‘Blessed is she who believed.’

Encyclical Letter

 
 
 
Mary, Mother of Jesus
 


The Church is a mother, like Mary. In her, we have a model. We too must provide a home, like Mary, who did not lord it over the Word of God, but rather welcomed that Word, bore it in her womb and gave it to others.
