"Mary is truly our sister, as Saint Ambrose says. She lived a life very similar to ours. It is, of course, beautiful to venerate Mary as the Virgin and Mother of God, as the one conceived immaculately of original sin and assumed into heaven; but she is also the Madonna of plates, brooms, and cooking pots..."

May your intimate closeness to Him, as it was with Francis [of Assisi], make you ever more humble, united, joyful, and essential, in love of the cross and in attentiveness to the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this time of ours, which struggles so hard to recognize the presence of the Lord." (Pope Francis)
