“The readings today, on this Memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church, at the foot of the cross, John is not only to take care of her, but the disciples, apostles and the whole Church are to. We take this personally.
When the Angel Gabriel comes to her, and she gives her ‘yes,’ it’s consent for all time for all of us. She intercedes for us before the Lord and before God in heaven. The Second Vatican Council determined her to be *that* central in helping how we understand Jesus in our lives.”
