My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, As we welcome the beautiful month of life - May - we acknowledge Our Lady, the Mother of the Author of Life! It was the Second Vatican Council that emphasized Mary as the archetype of the Church. We are challenged to imitate her virtues and perfection in seeking to do God’s will in our lives. As Fr. Harrison Ayre states in his book, Mysterion: “To be a Christian is, in a mysterious way, to have access to Mary, who allows us to see her Son perfectly through her. To be Christian is to be Marian.” . . .Click on the image to read the complete message.
