She (Mary)  teaches us to be a “manifestation” (=Epiphany) of the Lord, opening our hearts to the power of grace and faithfully abiding by the words of her Son, light of the world and the ultimate end of history. (Pope Benedict XVI – Homilia Epiphany 2006)

Mary, Immaculate Conception, our Mother, Spouse of the Holy Spirit

Through whom the Father gave His Son to the World,

Living Gate of Heaven through which grace and glory come into our Flesh,

Holy place where Earth and Heaven meet

Here’s our desire to be in keeping with our vocation as God’s children.
