Church of Mary
May the Virgin Mary, so loved and venerated in every part of Italy, precede and guide us in our union with Christ. In her we meet, pure and undeformed, the true essence of the Church, and so through her, we learn to know and love the mystery of the Church that lives in history, we deeply feel a part of it, and in our turn we become "ecclesial souls," we learn to resist the "internal secularization" that threatens the Church of our time, a consequence of the secularization process that has profoundly marked European civilization.

Carried by the Virgin Mary
We are all until our death in the moment of being born. Even the greatest saints are carried, so to speak, in the Blessed Virgin Mary's womb.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now, and at the hour of death. Amen.
