Description
We reflect on Mary as Mother of the Church and why the Church places her memorial right after Pentecost. We connect the Cross, Genesis, and Pentecost to show how Mary’s motherhood draws us closer to Jesus and reminds us we never walk alone.
• the meaning of celebrating Mary the day after Pentecost
• why Pope Francis added the memorial in 2018 and why the belief is ancient
• Jesus entrusting Mary to the beloved disciple at the Cross
• John as a sign of every baptized Christian
• “Where are you?” as the human question after sin
• Genesis and the first promise of “the woman”
• Mary as the New Eve who says yes to God
• why Marian devotion points toward Christ, not away from him
• the comfort of having a mother who notices, prays, and stays
