“Madonna of the People—that’s an expression I find very appealing. It means, it seems to me, that the people know Mary is close to them, whether as a mother who cares for her children, or as a sister who—at least in part—has walked the same path as we do. In the truest sense, Mary is the Mother of Christ and therefore the Mother of God. Christ, however, is our greater brother, the head of the entire Christian family. So we, too, may call her Mother: Mother of the Church, Mother of each one of us.”
