Jesus gave his Blessed Mother to all humanity when he was on the cross (John 19:26-27). As our great spiritual mother, Mary is our heavenly advocate who brings our petitions to the Lamb of God (Revelation 5:8). As St. Faustina reflected in her Diary, “To give worthy praise to the Lord’s mercy, we unite ourselves with Your Immaculate Mother … Through her, streams of grace flowed down upon us.”
