Maria SS.ma and the Guardian Angels. Here is what John Paul II tells us

An authentic devotion to the holy angels presupposes the particular veneration of the Madonna. In the Work of the Holy Angels we go further, Mary's life is a model of ours: as Mary behaved, so we also want to behave. In analogy to Mary's motherly love, we strive to love one another as Guardian Angels.

Mary is Mother of the Church, and therefore, she is the mother of all her members, she is the mother of all men. This mission received it from his SON JESUS ​​dying on the Cross, when He indicated her as mother to the disciple with the words: "Here is your Mother" (Jn 19,27:XNUMX). Pope John Paul II explains this consoling truth to us as follows: “Leaving this world CHRIST gave his Mother a man who was like her to him as a son (...). And, as a consequence of this gift and this entrustment, Mary became the mother of John. The Mother of God has become the mother of man. From that time on, John "took her into his home" and became the earthly custodian of the Mother of his Master (...). Above all, however, John became by Christ's will the son of the Mother of God. And in John every man became her son. (...) Ever since the time when Jesus, dying on the cross, said to John: "Here is your Mother"; Ever since the time when "the disciple took her into his home", the mystery of Mary's spiritual motherhood has had its fulfillment in history with a boundless breadth. Motherhood means concern for the life of the child. Now, if Mary is the mother of all men, her concern for human life is of universal significance. The care of a mother embraces the whole man. Mary's motherhood begins in her motherly care for CHRIST. In CHRIST she accepted John under the cross and, in him, she accepted every man and all man "

(John Paul II, Homily, Fatima 13.V 1982).
