Pope at Santa Marta: Learning from Our Lady of Sorrows 

“And this is out hope.  We are not orphans, we have mothers: Mother Mary.  But the Church us Mother and the Mother Church us anointed when it takes the same path of Jesus and Mary: the path of obedience, the path of suffering, and when she has that attitude of continually learning the path of the lord.  These two women- Mary and the Church- carry on the hope that is Christ, they give us Christ, they bring forth Christ in us.  Without Mary, there would be no Jesus Christ; without the Church, we cannot go forward.” – Pope Francis
