Daily Reflection: Monday, May 24

Monday, May 24

This is the second year for a new feast day in the church. Pope Francis made the Monday after Pentecost the Memorial of Mary, Mother of the Church. This title of Mary reminds me of a statue that I first saw in Europe of Mary with her cloak embracing the figures of individuals from various nations. You truly see her as the Mother of the Church, a church from all parts of the earth. Today, as we pray the Hail Mary, remember that we are praying this prayer with people throughout the world in many languages.
