Catholics are known for our devotion to Mary. For good reason, the Mother of God was full of both grace and wisdom. Did you know that Mary continues to speak to us today? We would like to share with you a collection of 10 messages from the Virgin Mary that we think every Catholic should know. Especially for those actively engaged in apostolic activity, a deep, personal relationship with Mary is an absolute must.
Let us never forget that Mary is considered the first disciple of Christ; she is therefore a model, guide, and Mother to all who wish to bring others to a new life in the Lord Jesus.
We invite you to take a moment today to meditate on these words, to savor them, for they are full of mercy and love. Then take a moment and think of others that might benefit from hearing them, those who right now need in a special way some words of encouragement and consolation, and share these images with them so that they, too, might rejoice in their warmth.

A few words from Pope Francis:
Dear brothers and sisters! Jesus Christ is the blessing for every man and woman, and for all of humanity. The Church, in giving us Jesus, offers us the fullness of the Lord’s blessing. This is precisely the mission of the people of God: to spread to all people God’s blessing made flesh in Jesus Christ. And Mary, the first and most perfect disciple of Jesus, the first and most perfect believer, the model of the pilgrim Church, is the one who opens the way to the Church’s motherhood and constantly sustains her maternal mission to all mankind. Mary’s tactful maternal witness has accompanied the Church from the beginning. She, the Mother of God, is also the Mother of the Church, and through the Church, the mother of all men and women, and of every people.
