Mary is a woman gathered in God but not isolated from men, their lives and their history. She is in silence because she is impermanent and cordial, listening to the word of God and the words of men. Her silence makes possible her listening and her discernment in order to identify, among the many words, the one that really counts. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Seven.

For Mary, courage comes from the fact that she is a mother. A mother who can only take care of her daughters and sons. Nothing stops her, no obstacle or adversity intimidates her. No gesture is useful to ensure her presence, even silent and full of expectation, as at the foot of each cross where she stands with strength. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Six.

Mary is a woman on the side of the poor, the discarded and last, this is her tenacious preference. She always welcomes them unconditionally and stands up for them without hesitation and without compromise. They are her favorite daughters and sons. It has become natural for her to behave this way and in her heart, she cannot do otherwise. Poor with the poor, that is her happiness. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Five.

Mary is entirely a woman in love with pure love. With passion and joy, she knew how to dedicate her entire life to the Love that fully deserves the name, dancing to the tune of life. By looking at her, we can distinguish love from its counterfeits and have a clear idea of an important area of our lives from hers. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Four.
