PODCAST | The Queen of Apostles: Her ‘Yes’ is Our Strength
In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio invites us to contemplate the Blessed Virgin Mary as the Queen of Apostles—our model of total self-giving and the one who brings us to Jesus through her “yes.” He highlights Mary’s quiet but powerful presence from Genesis to Revelation and the vital role she plays in our vocation to holiness and evangelization.
Listen now to reflect on:
• Why Mary’s “yes” is the model for every Christian apostolate
• The connection between Mary and the Eucharist as “Woman of the Eucharist”
• Mary’s presence and role in the spiritual battle for souls
• How her example teaches us to give ourselves totally to God
• St. Josemaria’s confidence in Our Lady in times of suffering and discouragement
