Getting to know Mary better

Mary comes into our lives in a unique way without imposing herself. She comes to serve us so that we can better discover her Son, Jesus. Whether you know her well or very little, I invite you to simply open the door of your heart to her. How? By telling her in your own way: "You see where I am. I would like to get to know you better, and like Elizabeth at Ain Karim, I am waiting for you to come."

The Lord wants us to enter into an intimate and strong relationship with the Virgin Mary. Jesus so wanted us to love her that He gave her to us as our Mother. Mary is a precious gift for all of us... She is a real person and wonderful to have around. She is such sweet company.

Mary draws us in the wake of Jesus—in the breath of the Holy Spirit—so that we may become more and more like the children of the Father. That's her role! To bring us into the communion of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
