Blessed Virgin Mary

We all imitate Mary and experience her reality every time we attend Mass.

It is easy to imagine Mary feeling stress during her early years with Jesus in this passing world.

Of all the titles and epithets of Mary, the ones that make her most human and real to us are those relating to her motherhood.

She knew from the moment of the rush of Gabriel’s wings and his lilting “Hail, full of Grace,” that she was only the handmaid.

God’s love is so powerful. It was a miracle. I could accomplish this only through the grace of God.

Mary is crying out for her children to return to the safety of her arms. In fact, her whole existence is the return journey home.
