Mother
Mary
"The priest can not be a priest without Our Mother’s
hand upon him."
The most exalted Mother of God holds Jesus in
her heart, adores Him, affirms and encourages Him, protects
Him while He is little and vulnerable. They are one. When
He is a man she prays for Him without ceasing and follows
Him within her heart in communion with His heart. Mary, the
Theotokos, the mother of Jesus (the Father of all priests),
is the Mother of all priests. If Jesus could not have been
without His mother, tell me what priest can live apart from
his Mother, the Theotokos, and his Father, the Father of all
fathers, the Lord Jesus Christ. Mary’s eyes gaze beyond
her Son to all of her sons, to all of her children while her
right hand is raised in reverence to her Lord, her child.
