June 1, 2020: Feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church

Mary helped make possible the way for our Salvation by consenting to the Word of God that she would bear the Son.

And the Son has given us the Church, birthed by the power of the Holy Spirit flowing from the Risen Christ.

It's fitting that Mary would have a special role in the Church, giving us an example as the first disciple to a life of prayer and bearing God's presence into all the world.  Truly her example helps us to live faithfully for God as Church.
