Wherever Mary Is, Her Son Cannot Fail To Be
(On May 4, Archbishop Gomez of Los Angeles made his first pilgrimage to Lourdes, France. The following is adapted from his homily delivered at the Grotto, where the Virgin Mary appeared to St. Bernadette Soubirous in 1858.)
Whenever I reflect on Our Lady, I think about those beautiful words from the wedding feast at Cana that we find in the Gospel of St. John.
Just these simple words: “And the mother of Jesus was there.”
For me, this is the great truth: The Mother of Jesus was there! Not only at Cana, but from the beginning. Salvation history unfolds through her.
