“We ask Mary that, as the first disciple, she teach us to remain watching, that she accompany us in patience, strengthen us in hope; we ask that she lead us towards the meeting with her Risen Son; that she free us from fear, so that we can hear the announcement of the angel… to announce it to others who need it so much.”
― Pope Francis, Encountering Christ: Homilies, Letters, and Addresses of Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio
