“There is a Marian ‘style’ to the Church’s work of evangelization. Whenever we look to Mary, we come to believe once again in the revolutionary nature of love and tenderness. In her we see that humility and tenderness are not virtues of the weak but of the strong…”

-Pope Francis

Today’s Reflection:

In Mary, strength is expressed not through dominance, but through love. As the Church seeks to bring Christ to the world, Mary shows us that this mission must always hold together justice and gentleness, prayer and service. When others look at the way you live and share your faith, do they see the Marian “style”?
