From the point of view of the world, there was nothing out of the ordinary about the things Mary did during her life: her help to her cousin Elizabeth, her care and concern for her infant son, her duties in the home at Nazareth, the journeys to worship at the Temple in Jerusalem, her burial of her husband Joseph, and her anguish at the sufferings of her son, Jesus. But from a supernatural perspective, her life was extraordinary because everything she did, she did out of obedience to and love for God.
–Francois-Xavier Nguyen Van Thuân (1928-2002)
