Episode notes
Personal Motherhood Of Mary
- Mary establishes a unique, personal bond with each believer and models a deeply relational motherhood.
- St. John Paul II emphasizes that her motherhood creates an unrepeatable relationship with every child of God.
Start Faith By Listening
- Begin a life of faith by listening attentively to God's message and responding with trust.
- Entrust yourself to God's will with abandonment, saying, 'Be it done to me according to your word.'
Faith Embraces Mystery
- Belief involves abandoning oneself to the living God's word while accepting His inscrutable ways.
- This paradoxical trust embraces mystery rather than oversimplifying complex realities.
