Suffering and Joy:
It takes time and effort to learn to carry the cross with Jesus. Like the apostles, we learn to do this over time; in doing so, we learn to know and love Jesus, to enter not only into his sufferings but also into his joy.
Birth of Mary:
The birth of Mary is God’s special intervention in the history of humankind to prepare for the birth of the Saviour of all the peoples. We should rejoice today for God’s initiatives of saving us, and for Mary’s total fidelity to God’s Salvific plan.
**************************************************************************************
Mary's example of readiness to serve shows us the path to take. With her, the Church fulfills her own vocation and mission, proclaiming Jesus Christ and exhorting us to do what he says, building a universal brotherhood in which every person can call God "Father."
- Pope John Paul the Great (at the Rededication of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre, Jaunury 24, 1998)
