Mother of Humanity

The mystery of Mary shines a light on what we have described as the eternal essence of motherhood. The portrayal of Mary as the Mother assumes and resumes the pain, the struggle, and the hopes of the infinite number of mothers who have eternalized life on earth.

Jesus gifted His mother to Humanity in order that Humanity would care for her faithfully and venerate her; and He gifted Humanity to His mother in order that she would look after us, and mold us as members of a Kingdom of Love.
