Today, in these turbulent times when peace and faith are so necessary, we turn our gaze to Mary. Filling us with wonderful paintings, icons of great artists. Mary is the perfect mother and woman. In her, the conception of the sacred becomes more human. Not only are the angels stripped of grace, but also she, a creature, a suffering someone, with concerns and dependent on hopes, a true human being, who makes us question the true characteristics of what is divine. "Then is the suffering man, in the face of his dilemmas, a divine being?". Certainly, it is not the purity of this assumption in body and soul that attracts the multitude of faithful, but solely the certainty that in her they will be understood in their concerns, even if unfounded. After all, there is an indisputable fact in everything, that Mary is a mother. And a mother is a mother, isn't she?
