She joined in his ministry and now holds a special honor in our faith. \n​Is she more than a gentle face\, smiling down from a pedestal? \nIs she something more for us? \nHow are we called to follow Mary’s lead in living out our call into Christ’s mission as Baptized believers? \n​Meek\, mild\, docile…Mary of Nazareth has been painted as a porcelain-skinned\, submissive young girl for millenia. Yet her courage in the face of unimaginable threats has brought us our faith today. She is Our Lady of Mercy\, Sorrows\, Grace and Perpetual Help.
