WORD & SILENCE
MINI-RETREAT WITH FR. JEREMIAH SHRYOCK, CFR
Mary's Role in Our Life
No cost to attend. Free-will offerings accepted.
There is one common spiritual truth that resounds in the lives of all the saints. The truth is this:
The more a soul gives themselves to Mary and allows her to form them, the more that soul will know Jesus, love Jesus, and be able to give themselves to Jesus more, and become more like Him and thereby become holy.
The more present Mary is in one’s life, the more present Jesus is in their life.
What does this mean about Mary?
It means that Mary is our greatest formator and teacher in the spiritual life. Jesus has given Our Lady this beautiful mission: to form us and mold us into the image of her Son.
