“Christ himself says,'I am the light of the world.'And we are the light...If we receive it from him...But how do we make it shine?...The candle tells us:by burning, and being Consumed in the burning.”—Pope Paul VI
(Our priest told us at Mass that the star on Mary's forehead represents Mary's virginity before the birth of Christ and the star on her shoulder represents Mary's virginity after the birth of Christ)
