As we continue to celebrate the Marian month of Ma As we continue to celebrate the Marian month of May, Fr. Peter Armenio shares in this week's podcast a reflection on embracing Mary as our spiritual Mother. He illustrates the idea that Mary is a great miracle worker through whom we can identify with our Lord and conquer the struggle to become holy by drawing inspiration from the Marian devotions of St. Josemaria Escriva, St. John Paul II, and Bl. Alvaro del Portillo.
