 “Come, let us wonder at the virgin most pure,
wondrous in herself, unique in creation, she gave birth, yet knew no man; her pure soul with wonder was filled, daily her mind gave praise in joy at the twofold wonder: her virginity preserved, her child most dear. Blessed is He who shone forth from her!” Saint Ephrem the Syrian

"Mary is a woman full of warmth, humanity, enthusiasm and vitality. Everything in her speaks since she carries the Living Word. Mary, of whom the Gospel speaks, is a woman from our land who resembles us, or, more correctly, the woman we are called to resemble..She is a great lady, Our Lady, the Lady of All. She is a unique woman whose presence and example help women and men alike. She is bright-faced, mild-manned, kind and tender. If you have ever met such a woman in your life, you are fortunate because you have known, in one way or another, Mary who is from our land…Mary whom God has chosen to carry the joy of heaven, the Beloved of the Father, her son Jesus."
