"When Mary is in the home..." -- Pope Francis

[MariaChristi]

…“When Mary is in the home, the devil does not enter. Where Mary is in the home, the devil does not enter. Where there is the Mother, disturbance does not prevail, fear does not win…Mary is the sure ark in the midst of the flood. Ideas or technology will not give us comfort and hope, but what does is the face of the Mother, her hands that caress life, her mantle that shelters us. We learn to find refuge, going every day to the Mother.”…

These words were part of the Pope’s homily for last Sunday, in which he encouraged the people of Rome to seek the intercession of Mary as a sure refuge in these turbulent times. I hope those who were there took his words to heart and began to regain their devotion to Mary, Mother and Model for the Church. Hopefully those who read his full homily will likewise be touched in their hearts to hear Jesus’ words to all of us every day: “Behold your Mother”.

Thank you for the reference @MariaChristi.

Normally I prefer to get pope Francis’s homilies and daily meditations from Vatican site directly, because sometimes other news outlets may shorten the full speech.
