Bishop Lucas on Mary

In his weekly column for the Catholic Times, Bishop Lucas reminds us that "Mary remained steadfast in faith, and so was a beacon of hope to the other disciples of Jesus. This Advent, she lights a hope-filled path for us contemporary disciples of her Son."

His Excellency emphasized Mary's role as a guide to us and the example of faithful discipleship. "As you and I struggle along on our pilgrim way," Bishop Lucas said, "Mary helps us keep the end of the journey in mind. The first and finest disciple of Jesus encourages us to hold fast to the hope of seeing her Son and of living forever with our sins forgiven."
