not for that shall we be dismayed. If we trust as we should in Mary, we shall recognize in her, the Virgin Most Powerful and who with virginal foot did crush the head of the serpent.”- Pope Saint Pius X
For Reflection:
What title does the Saint give to Mary? What makes her so powerful? What do you think is the relationship between her “virginal foot” and the ability to crush the head of the serpent? What serpent in your life would she most like to crush today? What virtue does the Saint say is required for us to experience this aspect of her maternal care? In what way will this dissipate the storms and darkness pressing down upon us?
