With Mary, CARE takes on a new meaning

Today we begin the novena to the Immaculate Conception, we are invited to pray and meditate on the various ways in which the Virgin Mary is “caregiver”, we are invited to enter sacred ground and allow ourselves to be surprised by Mary in the Gospel as she cares for her son, her family, her cousin, the disciples, those who are at her side, the Church.

We begin the novena by bringing our desires, our concerns and our missionary zeal, to present them to Mary, our Mother who, with simplicity, humility, a listening and welcoming attitude, presents them to her Son and makes us at the same time the guardians of our life, our vocation, the vocation of others and of all creation, as she herself did, with solicitude and readiness.
