“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.” Text: Albino Luciani, Patriarch of Venice (later Pope John Paul I)

Perhaps, in front of this small sacred monument, which the hiker encounters here in the form of a cross, a few short sentences by Pope Francis, who died on Easter Monday last year, might be of interest (address of April 5, 2024): “Feel called (...) to carry into the Church and into the world a little of this immeasurable love that compelled Jesus to die for us on the cross. May the intimate closeness to Him, as it did for Francis [of Assisi], make you ever more humble, more united, more joyful, and more essential in your love for the cross and in your concern for the poor, witnesses of peace and prophets of hope in this age of ours, which struggles so much to recognize the presence of the Lord.” (Pope Francis)
