yN Message” @Pontifex, 1 January 2023 - “The divine motherhood of Mary reveals God’s utmost respect for our freedom. God could have come into the world in a thousand ways manifesting his power and, instead, willed to be conceived in full freedom in Mary’s womb.” @Pontifex, 1 January 2023

- “God does not love us in word but in deed; not from “on high”, from far away, but “up close”, from within our flesh, because in Mary, the Word was made flesh, because in Christ’s chest a heart of flesh continues to beat, it beats for each and every of us!” @Pontifex, 2 January 2023
- “When we have strong feelings of doubt and fear, and we seem to be sinking, we must not be ashamed to cry out like Peter: “Lord, save me” (Mt 14:30). This is a beautiful prayer! And Jesus immediately stretches out his hand.” @Pontifex, 3 January 2023
