teacher of wisdom, goodness and
charity in the art of educating.

Mary, the masterpiece of
God’s foreseeing love, carries
within her, as no other creature
does, the beauty and grace that shines on the face of God.
Her presence accompanies the journey of the christian
community from its beginnings in the Cenacle
until the definitive coming of the Lord. The words of
Jesus: “ This is your son”,
“ This is your mother”
(Jn 19:26-27) reach out from Calvary to every man and
woman.
