“…a mother, a real mother, is the most wonderful person in the world. She’s the angel voice that bids you goodnight, kisses your cheek, whispers ‘sleep tight.’’ This is why all this matters. This is why we honor Mary and celebrate our feast today with such vigor. This is what it means that Mary is God’s Mother, and the Church’s Mother.”

(Fr Peter Cavanaugh using Peter Pan’s Wendy to relate to the Theotokos)
