Mary... A Real Friend & Mother

Who do you say that she is? She's a simple peasant girl they call Queen of Heaven. She's the Lord's humble servant, yet an icon of womanly strength. She's ever-virgin and mother of all; lowly and exalted; filled with grace and font of grace. Sinners fly to her, but an angel bowed. She's Mary, the mother of Jesus. She's the most recognized women in history... and the most musunderstood. Even if you're a Catholic who grew up with a statue of Mary next to your bed, you probably don't understand her as well as you think. She's not a distant and unapproachable figure in the heavens, but a real friend and mother. That's our FOCUS.
