I will give them my Son Jesus, as only the Mother knows how, and they will listen to Him alone; they will love Him alone; they will faithfully announce Him according to the Gospel. And through them my Church will be entirely renewed.
Blue Book #31l
What is our spirituality when all is said and done? To me it is so simple. It is to shed our whole selfish self, to take up our cross, no matter how heavy, and to follow him from Bethlehem to Golgotha, follow him humbly as a servant follows his master, yet as a bride her husband. Walking in his footsteps, reflecting his light, being his little, humble apostles.
Grace in Every Season (February 12)
Mary is the Queen of the Apostles, and thereby, our Queen. Even though her feast day isn’t until May, it’s probably a good thing to invoke her under this special title as we head into Lent and try to live out our apostleship more deeply…which is essentially what Lent is all about.

The apostolate (CCC)
863 The whole Church is apostolic, in that she remains, through the successors of St. Peter and the other apostles, in communion of faith and life with her origin: and in that she is “sent out” into the whole world. All members of the Church share in this mission, though in various ways. “The Christian vocation is, of its nature, a vocation to the apostolate as well.” Indeed, we call an apostolate “every activity of the Mystical Body” that aims “to spread the Kingdom of Christ over all the earth.”377
