Quote of the Day – 31 May – The Last Day of Mary’s Month and the Feast of the Feast of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
“… the figure of the Blessed Virgin, does not disillusion any of the profound expectations of the men and women of our time but offers them the perfect model of the disciple of the Lord:
the disciple who builds up the earthly and temporal city while being a diligent pilgrim towards the heavenly and eternal city;
the disciple who works for that justice which sets free the oppressed and for that charity which assists the needy;
but above all, the disciple who is the active witness of that love which builds up Christ in people’s hearts.”
Excerpt (37) from the Apostolic Exhortation “Marialis Cultus”
Blessed Pope Paul VI – 2 February 1974
