Let us turn to Mary for guidance and let's follow her example of mission and of hope.
As Pope Francis reminds us, “Her method is very simple: she walked and sang.”
We must walk through these times bearing the joy of one who trusts God just like Mary did.
Let us then walk and sing, and encourage our community to continue singing with the audacity of faith and hope.
