During the Angelus prayer (a prayer offered by catholics to Mary) after the Palm Sunday Mass, Pope Francis invited the faithful to learn from the Virgin “the interior silence, the gaze of the heart, the faith to follow Jesus on the way of the cross, that leads to the joyful light of the Resurrection. ”
(Vatican News) – “In this itinerary we are accompanied by the example of Mary, the young woman from Nazareth, whom God has chosen as the Mother of her Son“- says the Bishop of Rome. “She walks with us and guides the new generations in their pilgrimage of faith and fraternity. “
“May Mary help us all to live Holy Week well“, is the wish of the Pope. Followed by the invitation to learn from her “the inner silence, the look of the heart, the loving faith to follow Jesus on the way of the cross, which leads to the joyful light of the Resurrection”.
While Catholics deny that they pray to the dead, Mary is among the many ‘saints’ that incessant prayers are offered to, in the hope that she will intercede to Christ on their behalf.
Below are some more quotes of prayers offered to Mary by Pope Francis.
Together let us pray to the Virgin Mary that she helps us … to walk in faith and charity, ever trusting in the Lord’s mercy; He always awaits us, loves us, has pardoned us with His Blood and pardons us every time we go to Him to ask His forgiveness. Let us trust in His mercy!
