John Paul the Great on Mary #2

Memorial of St. Peter Chanel
Memorial of St. Louis Mary de Montfort

This woman of faith, Mary of Nazareth, the Mother of God, has been given to us as a model in our pilgrimage of faith. From Mary, we learn to surrender to God's will in all things. From Mary, we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary, we learn to love Christ, her Son, and the Son of God. For Mary is not only the Mother of God, she is the Mother of the Church as well.
Message to Priests, Washington, DC, 1979
