God sent his Son, born of a woman... ~ Galatians 4:4
 
 

“And is not the enraptured gaze of Mary
as she contemplated the face of the newborn Christ
and cradled Him in her arms that unparalleled
model of love which should inspire us
every time we receive Eucharistic communion?"

Pope Bl John Paul II

 

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and for ever.

as new generations call her blessed."  ~ GK Chesterton
