“[Mary] has a special significance for women, one in accord with their nature, for she leads them to the feminine form of the Christian image.”

                                   St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein)

For Reflection:

The quote says that Mary has special significance for women. What special significance does she have for me? In what ways does she lead me to a “feminine form of the Christian image?” Consider here the way in which she demonstrates the attributes of Christ that show Him to be the Son of the Father.
