Mary, Our Mother
 


The Heavenly Mother holds the Son of God in her arms, and under her protection the whole of humanity finds refuge with the very ancient prayer:
‘We shelter under your protection, Holy Mother of God: despise not our petitions in our needs, but deliver us from every danger, O glorious and Blessed Virgin’.
(cf.)

Mary, Our Mother
 


May the Virgin Mary, who watches over us from Heaven, help us not to forget that here on earth we are only passing through; may she teach us to prepare ourselves to encounter Jesus, who is ‘seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead’.

We must always learn from our heavenly Mother; her faith invites us to look beyond appearances and firmly to believe that our daily difficulties are, in fact, part of a springtime which has already begun with the risen Christ.

Mary, Our Mother
 


Let us as children of the Church, above all, renew our devotion to the One whom Jesus bequeathed to us as Mother and Queen. Let us entrust to her intercession the daily prayer for peace, especially in places where the senseless logic of violence is most ferocious; so that all people may be convinced that in this world we must help each other, as brothers and sisters, to build the civilization of love. Maria, Regina pacis, ora pro nobis!

Mary, Our Mother
 


Mary accompanies us with her maternal presence amid the events of our personal lives, our family lives, and our national lives. Happy are those men and women who place their trust in him who, at the very moment when he was offering his life for our salvation, gave us his Mother to be our own!
