OUR BLESSED MOTHER

“Beloved Brothers and Sisters, If this mission may sometimes seem difficult, call to mind the words of the Risen Lord: "I am with you always, to the close of the age" (Matthew 28:20). Certain of His presence, you shall fear no difficulty and no obstacle. His word will enlighten you; His Body and His Blood will nourish you and sustain you on your daily journey to eternity. At the side of each of you there will always be Mary, as she was present among the Apostles, frightened and confused at the time of trial. And with her faith she will show you, beyond the night of the world, the glorious dawn of the resurrection.”

Pope Saint John Paul II (April 2004)

“Mary is the Mother of mercy, because she bore in her womb the very Face of divine mercy, Jesus. The Son of God, made incarnate for our salvation, has given us His Mother, who joins us on our pilgrimage through this life, so that we may never be left alone, especially in times of trouble and uncertainty.”

Pope Francis (Jan 1st, 2016)

“Jesus is a way that can be traveled, open to everyone. He is the path of peace. Today the Virgin Mary points Him out to us, she shows us the Way. Let us walk in it! And you, Holy Mother of God, accompany us with your protection.”

Pope Benedict XVI (August 2012)
