“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, as you teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and as you sing psalms in your hearts to God.  And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”  Colossians 3: 16, 17

St. Pope John Paul II
But Holy Mary is our Mother, teacher, and friend, and she helps us in our difficulties.  Mary helps us to have the courage of our faith.  She, who lived on faith her whole life, from the Annunciation to Calvary, from Bethlehem to Pentecost, teaches us that the will of God is precisely our faith in Christ, in his Word incarnate and always present in the Church.  (Speech to Youth, Italy, May 9, 1986)
