"...the Mother of Jesus in the glory which she possesses in body and soul in heaven, is the image and beginning of the Church as it is to be perfected in the world to come. Likewise she shines forth on earth, until the day of the Lord shall come (cf. 2 Peter 3:10), a sign of certain hope and comfort to the People of God." ~Lumen Gentium, #68
"Let us ask Mary to help us fix our eyes intently on Jesus, to follow him always, even when this is demanding." ~Pope Francis, 08/31/2013 Tweet
