The humility of my holy Mother Mary! She is not to be seen amid the palms of Jerusalem, nor at the hour of the great miracles — except at that first one at Cana.
But she doesn’t escape from the contempt at Golgotha; there she stands, juxta crucem Jesu, the Mother of Jesus, beside his Cross.
Mary, the most holy Mother of God, passes unnoticed, as just one more among the women of her town.
Learn from her how to live with ‘naturalness’.
Mary, teacher of the sacrifice that is hidden and silent!
See her, nearly always in the background, co-operating with her Son; she knows, yet says nothing.
