Mary Our Mother of Love

Needless to say, Our Lady is the mother of humankind and she particularly favors mothers and those who live and care for their families and children, as she lived in close union with her Son and husband. Mary's love is the love of a mother for us her children and the love of Jesus' mother for her Son. It's the pure love which brought up the Savior of the World and which now points us, her children, towards Him. The way to God is through Jesus (cf Jn 14:6) and His mother wants to lead us by the hand to her Son, where we will find eternal peace and joy. It is through the love of Jesus that we experience complete joy. "I have told you this so that my own joy may be in you and your joy be complete. This is my commandment: love one another, as I have loved you" (Jn 15:11-12).
