For Reflection: 

“Spiritual motherhood means a supernatural activity, received and subordinate, in the work of eternal salvation of another human being by which a created person receives and transmits to another person the divine life.”                

                 – Reverend Bertrand de Margerie, S.J.

According to this teaching of the Church on Mary, how does Mary fulfill the definition of “spiritual motherhood”? Based on this passage, what do you think the phrase “mother to us in the order of grace” means? To what extent do you see her in this way?
