August 5th presents the celebration of one of the four Roman Major Basilicas, St. Mary Major. It brings to mind the role of Mary as Mother of the Church, Mother of God and our Mother too. As she nourishes each one of us, she nourishes the Church. As I write on August 4th, we are remembering St. John Vianney, the Cure of Ars, whose saintliness and role in the confessional brought much nourishment to thousands during the 19th century. He stands as a model for priests today, as well as for all of us who are called to nourish one another. We go to Mary for grace, sustenance and the modeling of what it means to bring Christ to others. Through her intercession and that of St. John Vianney, may we be nourishing food for others.
