Mary’s beautiful devotion is drawn forth by the still greater beauty of Jesus, who gives himself for betrayers and failures.

Jesus, our Lord and Teacher, stoops to cleanse undeserving people and makes his humble love the pattern for our lives.

Jesus is the only one with the right to condemn, yet he offers mercy that neither excuses our sin nor leaves us enslaved to it.

Jesus crosses every barrier to welcome the outsider and offers the living water that alone can satisfy our deepest thirst.

Jesus does not merely rescue a celebration from disaster: he reveals the extravagant grace and overflowing joy of God’s kingdom.
