When Our Lord gave his Mother to us through St. John on Good Friday, He gifted us, not just with a distant, Virgin Queen, but the most loving, compassionate and nurturing woman who ever gave birth – the Mother of God.
In St. Maximilian’s words:
“Dearest children, I desire very much to tell you, how good the Immaculate is. That way, I could remove forever from your little hearts all sadness, despondency and discouragement. The word ‘Maria’ spoken by a soul steeped in doubts, aridity and even misfortune due to sin re-echoes in her heart, which loves us very much. And the greater the unhappiness of a soul sunk in its faults, the more solicitous is the care of her, the Refuge of poor sinners.”
(Pg. 96, The Kolbe Reader, Fr, Anselem W. Romb, OFM Conv., 1987, Franciscan Marytown Press)
