“To give worthy praise to the Lord’s mercy, we unite ourselves with Your Immaculate Mother, for then our hymn will be more pleasing to You, because She is chosen from among men and angels. Through Her, as through a pure crystal, Your mercy was passed on to us. Through Her, man becomes pleasing to God; Through Her, streams of grace flowed down upon us.”

               – St. Faustina Kowalska, #1746 

For Reflection:           

Go to your Catechism of the Catholic Church and read paragraphs 490-493. Consider the Saints comparison of Mary to a “pure crystal” in light of the Immaculate Conception. Consider all of the above in light of Mary’s role of Mediatrix (CCC 967-970).
