Mary, Mother Most Wonderful, teach me your obedient faith and your attentiveness to God's word. Teach me to love your Beloved Son, the fruit of your womb, Jesus! 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

Mary, "Mother of God's Word" and "Mother of Faith"
From the Annunciation to Pentecost [the Blessed Virgin Mary] appears as a woman completely open to the will of God. She is the Immaculate Conception, the one whom God made “full of grace” (cf. Lk 1:28) and unconditionally docile to his word (cf. Lk 1:38). Her obedient faith shapes her life at every moment before God’s plan. A Virgin ever attentive to God’s word, she lives completely attuned to that word; she treasures in her heart the events of her Son, piecing them together as if in a single mosaic (cf. Lk 2:19,51). ~Pope Benedict XVI, Verbum Domini, #27
