May 29, 2023: Feast of Mary, Mother of the Church

The Blessed Mother Mary bore Christ into the world, the Head of the Church.

Christ then entrusted Mary to the church when handing her to the beloved disciple at the Cross.

Mary's fiat reversed the curse of sin brought by the disobedience of Adam and Eve.

And she played an important role at the start of the church, praying with the apostles as they awaited the Holy Spirit.

Five years ago, we first celebrated this feast on the day after Pentecost.

May we rejoice in her intercession so that we grow closer to God as the Church, the Body of Christ.
