As we worship God, who became Man for our salvation in the person of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, should we not honor His mother who by her willing assent became the vehicule for this marvelous salvation, who in her loving submission to God is a model for our relation to God? Should we not honor His friends the saints whom He has honored by working wonders through them, spreading the Holy Gospel throughout the world, healing the sick, succoring those in need both material and spiritual?
