“You are one with Jesus as the body is one with the head. You must, then, have one breath with him, one soul, one life, one will, one mind, one heart. And he must be your breath, heart, love, life, your all.”

                            ~St. John Eudes

For Reflection:

How well does St. John Eudes’ statement describe my relationship with Jesus? Specifically, where do I need to grow?

Feminine ecclesial authority begins with Mary the Mother of God. By her "fiat" she is God's covenantal partner in the Order of Redemption. Mary is the source of Christ's incarnational life in the world. Thus her "fiat" makes her an origin of life that is intrinsically constitutive of the New Creation. Furthermore, Mary has authority in the mission of her Son.
