THE CLOSING
When I call Mary, “Mother”, I am not using empty words or just speaking randomly. In fact, I am incapable of using any other name and I can never tire of calling her Mother. Since I acknowledge that Mary is my mother, I must inevitably see that she has a great love for me as her child.

I reminisce that Mary was made Queen of Mercy to save the most abandoned sinners who recommend themselves to her. I recognize that I am such a sinner, who needs to turn to this most tender
