Mary teaches us to belong to God.
Our culture tells us to protect ourselves from sacrifice.
Mary teaches us to say, “Let it be done to me according to your word.”
Our culture teaches us to fear suffering, ageing and death as though they were the end of everything.
Mary points beyond the grave.
She reminds us that our true homeland is heaven.
