Mother's Day

As we celebrate Mother's Day this weekend, we remember all women, our own mothers and Jesus' mother Mary. Pope Francis says of Mary -

“She listens as Mother. Just like, and more than, every good mother, Mary defends us from danger, she is concerned about us even when we are concentrated on our own things...Mary is there, praying for us, praying for those who do not pray. To pray with us. Why? Because she is our Mother.”
