Mary as Our Mother: Tuesday, October 4, 2016 (The Holy Year of Mercy)


J.M.J. "The title of Mary as our mother is not merely symbolic. Mary is our mother in the most real and lofty sense, a sense which surpasses that of earthly maternity. She begot our life of grace for us because she offered up her entire being, body and soul, as the Mother of God."

--Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (1891-1942)
