Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God
Today is the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. In her honor we read the words of Mary to Juan Diego, at Guadalupe. Notice how the focus of her solemnity is deflected directly to God Almighty.”Know, know for sure, my dearest, littlest, and youngest son, that I am the perfect and ever Virgin Holy Mary, Mother of the God of truth through Whom everything lives, the Lord of all things near us, the Lord of heaven and earth.”
