Model for every Christian
Another aspect that we must consider and meditate on is that Mary, the most humble among all women, is a model for everyone, today, in the here and now, and she is a model in a particular way for each woman, as Pope Francis expressed. In April 2014 in his message (from Rome) to the 20 thousand young people who were gathered in Buenos Aires, Argentina:
“There is only one model for you, Mary: The woman of fidelity, the one who did not understand what was happening to her but obeyed. The one who, as soon as she knew what her cousin needed, ran away, the Virgin of Promptness. The one who escaped as a refugee in a foreign country to save the life of her son,” the Pope stated on that occasion.
