Mary listened deeply to the Word of God.
Responded in whole hearted love to the call of God, nurtured the Lamb whom she bore and carried to birth,
cared for with human hands,
listened with human ears
and the inner ear of her heart.
Ever fruitful in fidelity She invokes the Holy Spirit on all humanity, inviting each one into union with her beloved child,
The One eternal Son of God.

Mary attended to the needs of the poor,
where she was led by the inner voice of love.
Today she asks us to do the same
in all times and in all places
knowing that we will meet his divine face in
the most broken of our world.

Wrapped in her mantle, we adore He who is the all
Wisdom
Redeeming
Divine Son of God.
