O Mary, my mother, I want to be a monstrance of Jesus, just as you were. Please show me how. Amen.
I am espoused to Him whom the angels serve. Sun and moon stand in wonder at His beauty. ~from the Rite of Consecration to a Life of Virginity

Monstrance of the Body of Christ
The Church commemorates Mary’s Visitation to St. Elizabeth on the last day of May. Our gaze pauses on the Blessed Virgin, wondrous Ark of the Covenant, who brought into the world Jesus Christ, the new and eternal Covenant between God and humanity. She is presented to the eyes of believers as a wonderful monstrance of the Body of Christ, conceived in her by the power of the Holy Spirit... ~Bl. John Paul the Great
