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.
Community relations or communication is a basic need; during pregnancy, mother and child can communicate. Communication is natural, but even if words do not come out of the mouth, all human senses are a form of communication. Catechesis on social communication, in collaboration with Fr.

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.
