Mary is our mother and cares for us.
We must take seriously the words our Lord Jesus uttered from the
cross: "Behold, your mother". Those words include us. They
include all sons and daughters of the Church. We are Mary's
children. And as such we look at her as we seek to learn all we
can from the way she answered God. We see her as the one who was
nearer to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We try to get as near as we
can to her Immaculate Heart, convinced that she stands out among
humankind as an unsurpassable example of love to Jesus. Her
motherhood is an occasion to learn to open oneself to the Lord's
plan, and to live increasingly His gifts of faith, hope and
charity. Obviously, she stands as a permanent paradigm of
Christian life. Knowing that she is our mother, we speak to her
expressing our love, asking her intercession, giving thanks to
her in different moments of our daily life. We want to speak to
her with filial love, share with her our joys and our worries,
disclose ourselves to her, ask for her intercession, thank her,
rely on her in different situations of our life."
("Teaching us to
pray with Mary", taken from an interview of Luis Fernando Figari
by Alejandro Bermudez, Our Sunday Visitor, May 30, 1999)
