- Readings
- From her we can learn to respect the ways of man, and at the same time make men open to the ways of God.
She was able to respect the individuality of each person, helping the one concerned 'to keep in step with God' which means something different for each one.
In this way, her profound understanding did not become inert tolerance.
- Pope John Paul II's homily during the beatification of Blessed Maria
