Human life is a journey. Towards what destination? How do we find the
way? Life is like a voyage on the sea of history, often dark and
stormy, a voyage in which we watch for the stars that indicate the
route. The true stars of our life are the people who have lived good
lives. They are lights of hope. Certainly, Jesus Christ is the true
light, the sun that has risen above all the shadows of history. But to
reach him we also need lights close by—people who shine with his light
and so guide us along our way. Who more than Mary could be a star of
hope for us? With her “yes” she opened the door of our world to God
himself; she became the living Ark of the Covenant, in whom God took
flesh, became one of us, and pitched his tent among us (cf. Jn 1:14). - Spe Salvi
Thank you, Papa, for being a "light of hope" for me and for the whole Church.
The Lord bless you and keep you: The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. - Numbers 6:24-26
