KYF Know Your Faith

"Mary's journey to heaven began with the 'yes' spoken in Nazareth in response to heavenly messenger's announcement of God's will to her. And in reality it is just like this: every 'yes' to God is a step toward heaven, toward eternal life. Because this is what the Lord wants: that all his children may have life in abundance! God wants us all with him, in his house!'' Pope Francis"

 Mary notices our concerns. Talk to her or your concerns.

" Dear friends, we have come to knock at the door of Mary's house. She has opened it for us, she has let us in and she shows us her son. Now she asks us to 'do whatever He tells you'.

Yes, Mother, we are committed to doing whatever Jesus tells us! And we will do it with hope, trusting in God's surprises and full of joy. Amen." Pope Francis

"Mary helps us to understands what it means to be a disciple of Christ... Her first act was to listen to God... She followed Jesus, listening to every word that issued from His lips. 



She kept all those things in her heart and become the living memory of the signs worked by God's son to awaken our faith. But it is not enough simply to listen. That is certainly the first step, but listening then needs to be translated into concrete action." Pope Francis

"Mary said yes To God. It is a yes that was not easy to live. A yes that bestowed no privileges or distinctions Simeon told her in his prophecy : ' a sword will pierce your heart' (Lk 2:35) and indeed it did. 

That is why we love her so much. We find in her a true Mother, one who helps us to keep faith and hope alive in the midst of complicated situations."  Pope Francis

"Mary Shows the path to her son" Pope Francis

Cooperating With Gods will



We know St.  Joseph was a man of faith, obedient to whatever God asked of him without knowing the outcome. When the angel came to Joseph in a dream and told him the truth about the child Mary was carrying, Joseph immediately and without concern for gossip took  Mary as his wife.
