The message - January, 2012
A star for our journey
We start another year in our "Pilgrimage of faith", and we look upon Mary as the one who goes before us.
We look at her with confidence because she has already crossed the threshold between faith and the heavenly vision: she now sees God "face to face".
As we go forward in hope, we are accompanied by the blessed virgin, who gives us the right direction.
As we set out once more to proclaim Christ and his message, we likewise invoke Mary.
Once she showed Jesus to the shepherds, now she continues to point her son to us and says "Do whatever he tells you".
