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.

Mary is not a woman of many and beautiful words, she has something more important to do than look after her own image and visibility. Her person is not exhausted in what she appears, but lives what she is in truth. She knows that she must cultivate the authenticity and depth of her love for the Son of God and for hers, for every sister and brother, present and future. She knows that when there is love, it spreads itself and finds a genuine way to make itself visible. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Three.

Mary is a woman of every day, a woman of the ordinary of life, a woman who becomes a mother, a mother who sees her son die unjustly, sees him rise and awaits his Spirit in prayer together with the disciples. Mary strengthens each day with her deep presence filled with love and significance: every day seems to remain the same, but everything with her gentleness becomes new. Novena to Mary Help of Christians. Day Two.
