Description
Tuesday Mass. 9.15.26.
This homily reflects on the Feast of Mary through the lens of a mother's love, drawn from a conversation with a parishioner about her children. It explores why Mary is called our mother, connecting John's Gospel account at the cross and Saint Paul's image of the Body of Christ. The homily describes Mary's "yes" as a total gift of herself to Christ's mission, and reflects on how she understands human suffering and struggle without having sinned herself. It closes with an invitation to bring one's personal struggles to Mary, trusting her to lead hearts toward Jesus.
